As Mr.. nayara Propossd.

rev \ lork Herald
There can be no objection to leaving
this whole Behring Sea issue to arbitra
tion without conditions The arbitrators
chosen would doubtless be distinguished
for their intelligence, integrity and fair
ness. Their single aim would be to
determine the respective rights OF the
disputing parties. and their decision
could be accepted by each without any
loss OF national honor ana dignity Even
a decision adverse TO the United
States would not mean a loss Of
the seal fishery, but only Of its
monopoly. II would simply admit foreign
sealers TO the sea on an equality with
our own. Hence we.would still have q
right to pursue the basiness-to monopo.
llze II in our own waters, but not beyond
the three-mile limit In that event the
industry, whose value Is recognized by
England as well as the United States,
would be protected aud fostered by in Ter
national control. The whole matter may
therefore be safely left TO arbitration,
and this we trust, will now be done.
