notice Of her intention 10 protect her fisher
men on the North American coasts. AT
first It was thought advisable by the U s.
Government that our naval force in the
threatened quarters should be increased.
but this step was not taken in consequence
OF satisfactory explanations in the matter
by the British Government. The main
difference. however, is still in abeyauce.
and remains to be adjusted as to the proper
Interpretation of the treaty OF the year 1918.
The message reviews the conduct Of Eng.
land IN this matter, aud states that bv the
American trade of 1s4s The British fisher.
men nave acquired monopoly in the ex.
port trade OF sailed and dried fish.

conclude them during the winter, as Eng.
land is willing that such should be the
coure adopted.
