Dissatisfaction With the Treaty.

OF course New England is dissatisfied
with the fisheries treaty. The Glou-
cester fishermen denounce it as an ig-
noble surrender to Canadian claims.
Statesmen from Maine and Massachu-
setts are indignant over what they term
the victory of the Canadian diplomats
and the enemies of the administration
generally along the northern Atlantic
seaboard declare that the agreement as
finally made is one which cannot be ac-
cepted by the American people.
The west at large who read the
heated denunciations OF the Canadian
press at the manner in which the Yam
KEGS have tricked them out of their
rights, and the vials of wrath which the
New England press is pouring out upon
the devoted head of the administration
for cowardly surrender to Canadian
diplomacy, are likely to be somewhat
puzzled over the situation. The truth
of the matter is that the treaty is u
compromise of the claims of both the
American and Canadian fishermen. 1t
comedies valuable privileges to our
countrymen and settles in reasonably
fair and equitable way the disputes
which have been going on for nearly a
century. While it provides delimita-
tion of the three mile limit, about
which there has always been a contro-
versy, it takes off a large number of
burdensome restrictions which the
Canadian authorities had imposed upon
American fishing smacks. 1t does not
remove the duty on fish and permit free
t,ade in the products of free ocean,
which it ought to have done, but in
compensation it allows Canada to charge
a tonnage tax upon American fishing
smacks plying their trade within it's
waters.
The chief value of the treaty
is that it settles the questions
which ever since the treaty OF
1918 have been raised concerning it's
Interpretation. 1t will remove the
grounds for international bitterness in
connection with the cod and mackerel
