THE FISHERY QUEsTIoN-pEBATE IN THI NOVA
SCOTIA ASSEMBLY.
The Provincial Secretary Of Nova Scotia submitted to
the House OF Assembly the I'd instant copies OF the
correspondence addressed the British government
the subject OF the protection OF the fisheries. In laying
the correspondence before the House the Secretary re-
ported 10 have eferred to the fact that the repeal Of
the Reciprocity treaty rendered necessary for TO
protect the exclusive rights OF our people to our shore
nsheres because fishermen, having the disadvantage
OF federal tax on their cargoes shipped TO the states
would be placed at greater disadvantage the Amcri
can fishermen trespassed on thelr rights anhls-

delegates from the provincial wold be
disposed 10 cooperate with IN legislation for
fishery protection and had received the most cordial
assurances OF Legislative co operation from all OF them
The chief point in the fishery disputes between the
United States and Britain was the construction put by
each upon the limits Of restriction The British Insisted
that the limits were three marine miles, drawn from one
headland TO another aud that the bays should not h.
entered at ALL while the Americans claimed 10 approach
to within three miles Of any part or the shore. The
matter OF the Of the strait OF Canso had been
brought by our government through Lord Falkland be-
fore the British government and the opinion OF the lat
ter was that the Americans had no night TO navigate
that Strait without express permission He re-
icrrcd TO a report on these subjects, drawn up
by himself in 1851 which cited the treaty Of 1918 In
way he declared conclusive for the express words OF
the treaty that the line OF leagues distance should
be drawn from headland TO headland The Americans
attempted TO evade this agreement by insisting that II
referred merely small bays They claimed right of

the Bay Chaeur on preexts weak We can hardly
expect that they will hereafter agree to put the
