Washington. May 1s-Apprehension Is ex-
pressed by high officials over the Behring Sea
situation this year and fears Of open collision be-
tween United States revenue cutters and British
sealing vessels and men-of-w war are entertained.
Under Article I Of the award OF the Paris
tribunal sealing by vessels within a zone Of sixty
miles around the Pribyloff Islands was prohibited.
This article was generally observed last year.
Article III Of the same agreement provided that
no sealing should take place between May and
July 81 north Of the thirty-ffth degree Of latitude
and east OF the 1SOth degree Of longitude. This
article. 1t Is said. was repeatedly violated and
several seizures made in consequence
Another regulation or article in force last year
provided that vessels destined for sealing voy-
age in japanese waters should have their sealing
equipment under decks and sealed while passing
through that part OF Behring Sea described In
Article III. Yhis was to prevent pelagc sealing
on the way TO Japan. As already stated in these
dispatches. this regulation will not be enforced
this year by the British Government agains1
Canadian sealers, the excuse being tnat the
1925 900 promised by Secretary Gresham as IN
demnity for seizures of Canadian vessels was not
appropriated by Congress.
