According to the story that is in circula

ToRcsTo, ONT, October III is
thought that the Dominion Government
intends 10 back down on tie fishery ques-
ton.
The Free Press, of London, Ont, which
voices the views of Minister Of Agricultur
Carling, takes the ground that Canada hsd
better yield. After reviewing the ques-
tion Of the transhipment of fish in bond,
it says: "Would it not be we'll that Can
ada should waive her rights under the
tresty of 1918. and be wiling, under the
altered condition cf things in respsct to
csrrisge by rail, to permit American fish-
ermen the privilege Of making use of our
lines for the purpose CT forwarding their
legi innate catch to the general msIkst2
We frankly confess that we would be in
favor Of tuch come asion."
The editorial concludes that in resisting
the American contention Canada is stand
ing in her own light. The article is clear
ly inspired.
