An extract from the first volume, chapter 10, of
" RuSh's Residence at the Court Of London" pub
lished in 1885, relating to the Fisheries will not be
without interest for our readers at the present
ment. The author, after giving an account of the
whole negotiation which resulted in that Conven-
ton, and stating all the points it settled, thus ex
presses himself:
" When the Convention made public, it underwent
criticism in Britain too favorable throughout to the
United States but the article on the fisheries was assa
ed with peculiar force. The leading presses of London
opened their batteries against it. The claims of the
United States described Of fghtfu magnitude
the concessions by England Of character
spending Important maritime interests Of the British
empire were said have been sacrificed Complaints
poured in from the colonies The Legislative Assembly
and Council Of Nova Scotia forward remonstrances
with which mixed up not unsparingy charges Of
American ambition and encroachment- The tide of
complaint was swelled by the recollection Of similar
alleged sacrifices under the treaty Of Paris of 1914
Britain by that treaty. said her journals had given back
to France her great European rival the enjoyment Of
the Newfoundland fisheries from which twenty years Of
victorious warfare upon the had totally driven
her. and the calamity to be doubled, BY like
gift to her rival in the other hemisphere
British statesmen, calm, Ia Tory Ministry was
then in power now, thought and acted differently.
They had not been deferred by the anticipation Of camor
from entering into the article They felt that, if they
had duty to fulfil by guarding British interests the
one hand they released from the obligation Of
looking 70 the just rights Of Independent nation
the other TWAS in this spirit that formidable ground
Of collision was removed without mpsirng the honor,
is believed the essential interests Of either
try Yet il proper for the United States to bear in
mind that Britain holds the doctrine that the Of
1912 totally dbogaed the old treaty Of 1888 the ques-
ton Of the fisheries the inference from which may
suppose be- that she would hold this convention to be
sbrogated that point by future war, nowthstand-
ing resolute insertion Of words Of pepcy in its
first article"
This passage surely does not fok as il any undue
Wconcessions" had been made 10 England on the
hhery question. Its aspect ispreclely the reverse.
