NEWSPAPER COMMENT ON THE REJECTloN OF
THE FISHERY TREATY.
London, Aug. ao-" The Pail Mall Gazette re-
yerring the rejection OF the Fisheries treaty by he
United States senate, says IL Is thankful 'hat the
Chamberlain mission had not made the difficulty more
serious than was before Senator Morgans speech.
It says, was buncombe The rejection of the treaty
simply rolegates the whole question to an am.cable
settlement after the Presidential election The paper
further saws: "Neither Americans nor Engllshmen
arc lunatics and the world viii not be plunged into
bath OF blood because opinions differ a kettle OF
fish The matter will be again negotiated after the
election and In the meantime we can cultivate India
rubber, like forbearance and cool temper
The ST. James's Gazette' says the modus vivenGi
will be continued for years and then matters VIII
assume different complexion.
The Daily News" says: 1t is another example
OF the many evils which the disuniouists bringing
upon their country"
sThe Daily Chronicle SAYS This unworthy
attempt TO make party capital of question which
nigh, involve two great countries in not likely
to endear the Republican party 10 the majority o.
nave-born Americans"
INDEPENDENT CANADIAN OPINION.
Toronto, ont Aug 22-~ Tire Globc' Opposition,
referring to the rejection Of the Fisheries Treaty
Though the Senate has refused 10 raty the Fisheries
Treaty, the United States Government and people
cannot be heh morally respons bic for Its rejection
The treaty neeer pleased anybody this side of the
line, though Sir John Macdonalds maronetcs danced
IN mechanical jubllatlon when he wished them to
celebrate the results OF the diplomacy OF Chamberlain
ard Tupper What does It al tcachl Surely that
the Ottawa Government should exhibit some back
bone that they should insist upon managing the
fisheries business without British intervention in
Amer can interest From past events there can be
no clearer deduction than that from fourth British
effort at cancellation Canada will get fourth slap in
the face. II IS high time for the Canadian Govern
ment to demand absolute freedom to deal IN the case
according TO the interests of Canada only. Had
only OTTAWA and Washington dealt in the business 1t
would probably have been satisfactorily settled long
ago Were Canada free to negotiate her own
commercial treaties the matter could be settled in
ihre months. II Is high time TO insist on obtaining
that freedom
The Nail" Independent SAYS: The expected has
happened with regard 10 the Fisheries Treaty The
Canadian vcw Of the treaty. from the first, has been
that It conceded the part of the dominion far more
than 1t secured for US Outside of the Republican
party, IL was lcl that the American negotlatOrs had
made an cAcCllent barga n, calculated TO prevent
ds putes and 10 promote ghOoriy feeling and good
will between the two peoples. Whether tho modus
vivcndl VIII be continued for two full years is a
question but certainly tho Government would not
terminate 10 nov the middle of the fishing scaSoil
Before the courtesy IL extends is withdraw the Pres
Dental cues ion will have been solved Then. I Is
to be- hoped uloac reasonable view Of tic fishery
matter viii obtain Renewed negotiations hoNtv'r,
be for the treaty now j. as thoroughly
out OF existence as If it Lad never been penncd"
