THEIR VARIOUS VIEWS.
The New York Press on the Propose
Fishery Treaty.

Inv SeW on the proposed
Fishery Treaty.
New YoKK, February 23.-The editorials
of the New York Press on the proposed
| fisheries treaty, full text of which was pub
lished by them yesterday, is varied.
The Herald saws: We advise the fisher
men of New England to examine this
treaty carefully before they allow Republi-
can clamor TO lead them TO find fault with
it. II seems TO Us TO remedy all their Just
grievances, and We advise them not to for
get that the country at large has never be-
come very deeply excited over their COM
plants, and that il they should now show
themselves unreasonable, they will lose
even the moderate public sympathy which
was with them
The Times says: This treaty has already
been heartily opposed and bitterly criti-
cised by some OF the Republican papers,
particularly those representing the fishery
interests. This opposition is natural,
though il is inconsistent We do not be-
lieve it is wise We hope it may
not be shared by enough other Re
publicans TO defeat the treaty. We obtain
under this agreement greater advantages
than have ever been accorded so freely be-
fore. These include everything that has
been claimed by US, with the exception of
fishing in q relatively limited area. They
include the abolition. of the headland
theory, and nearly complete freedom Of
intercourse, except the purchase OF bait
and like supplies We cannot hope 10
obtain better terms by mutual agreement.
1t is open TO Us al any time TO obtain all
we have ever wished by the repeal of the
duty on Canadian fish. which, as to most
of the product, is one-half cent per pound.
The alternative TO the ratification of the
treaty is the reopening and indefinite pro-
longation OF a vexed, complicated, and, in
our opinion, useless and senseless quarrel
We do not believe the American people de-
sire that
The World announces in its editorial col
umns that the treaty is published in full on
another page, but makes no comment on
the character of the document.
The Tribune saws: The State Depart
ments diplomatic triumph is feeble and
incoherent compromise. The full text of
the fisheries treaty enables us TO under
stand why Secretary Bayard considers the
hollow truce arranged by him decisive
triumph. He has never approached this
subject from the American point of view
He has dealt with it as an international
quarrel, caused by ambiguous constructions
of an antiquated treaty and by complex
and ill-detined fishery rights. He has re-
garded it solely as q technical controversy,
which could be settled by new and more
elastic constructions of the disputed clauses
Of the treaty OF 1918. He has negotiated
q convention on this basis, defining the
three-mile limit, compromising the head
lines question, and designating certain COM
mercial privileges in addition to the right
conferred upon American fishermen
seventy years ago TO obtain shelter, re-
pairs, wood and wafer" in Canadian har-
bors.
