The Behring Sea Dispute.

A telegram from Ottawa, Ont,
June %. says: Imperative orders
have been received from England
that no steps be taken for the present
to protect Canadian vessels sailing in
Behring sea. The British govern.
ment suggested joint commission
of all the maritime powers OF the
world to decide on the validity OF the
claim of the United States to exclu.
sive jurisdiction in these waters. 1t
is pointed out that it is a question
affecting or likely to affect the inter-
ests of every maritime nation, and
that Joint conference or convention
is the only practical way of deciding
the question, to whom the claim for
damages of the owners of the vessels
already seized would also be referred.
There will, therefore, be no inter-
ference on the part of British or Do
miniOn cruisers with the United
States vessels carrying out their in
structions in excluding British sealers
from Behring sea. Next week the
British men-of-war stationed at Brit
ish Columbia on the Pacific coast
will start on their annual cruise
north, but will not go to Behring sea,
as has been stated. 1t is stated on
good authority that France and Ger
many support Great Britain in her
contention that Behring sea is an
open and not a closed sea, as held by
Tine United States government. 1t is
partly in connection with the Behr-
ling sea difficulty that Sir John Nc
'fDonald visits England shortly.
