Every fresh development of the affair about the
fisheries goes to show and more strongly
that it is simply fuss about nothing. The fact is
that the American vessels had actually been fishing
within the limits prohibited to them by even the
most liberal construction Of the convention of 1918,
and thsis made apparent by the fact that where
vessels have been seized and carried into St. Johns
the owners have attempted no defence, hut
have suffered them to be conscated by default, thus
tacitly admitting that no defence could be made
No matter how many vessels seized, if they are
taken in the commission of an act which legally sub
5ects theFa to such seizure there is ground of
complaint The number of seizures would, in this
case, only be an evidence of the number of trans
gressions and it is only fair that those who violate
treaty stpulations for the purpose of gain, should
suffer the legal penalty attached to their conduct.
