What Russia Claimed and the United
States Disputed.
Prepared for The Democratic Advocate


Wharton's international Law Digest"
Vol. /, Section 80, treats of the marine belt,
or sovereignty over water. Here is an ex-
tract:
Russia having asserted, in 1924, an exclusive
Jurisdiction the northwest coast and waters of
America from Behring Strait TO the fifty first degree
of north latitude this claim was resisted by the
United States ard great Britain, and was surren-
dered, in q convention between Russia and the
United States in April 1924 for ten years mot sub
sequently technically renewedl. and in eonven-
ton between Great Britain and Russia, in February,
1875, for ten years, reestablished by the treaty oil
June II, ls43H
In the case of the United States the treaty
was not renewed, but its provisions were OBJ
served as though ii had been. Great Britain
renewed her treaty, after a time, because
Great Britain did business with more accu-
raey than the United States. And that treaty
was in effect when Alaska was purchased by
the United States from Russia.
Article 4, of the treaty between the United
States and Russia, was as follows:
cit is nevertheless. understood that during q term
of ten years. counting from the signature Of the
present convention. the ships of both Powers. or
lively may recprocally frequent, without any him
draiice whatever the interior seas CULTS, harbors
and creeks, upon the coast mentioned in the pre-
Oedng article fer the purpose of fishing and trading
with the natives of the country,
This is interesting reading, in view of The
contention made by the United States before
the Behring Sea Tribunal, which has just
decided every point against this government,
and in accordance with the position taken by
President Monroe, by J. Q. Adams, his Sec
rotary Of State.
