CANADIAN. NEGOTIATIONS.
Protocol Agreeing to Subjects to be
Submitted to q Commission.

! WASHINGTON, June 2.-The Cana
dian negotiations recently concluded
here led to the signing of a protocol
which formally agreed to the exact
subjects to be submitted to an inter-
national commission.
While the protocol makes no prelim-
mary agreement on the several Ques-
tions. yet it is the general understand
ing among officials that the Behring
Sea question will be adjusted and final
ly settled by the complete termination
of pelagic sealing.
/ During the negotiations it developed
that this industry is practically ex-
tinct. and is no longer profitable to
any considerable number of Canadians.
1t was stated by those well versed in
the matter that only two Canadian ves-
sells were engaged at present in seal
ing operations in Behring Sea. Under
the changed conditions it is said that
Canada has only a few sealers to deal
with. and that she is therefore in
position to meet the contentious of
the United States without seriously in
iuring large established industry.
While no agreement toward giving
up pelagic sealing was reached during
the meeting, the discussion was along
lines indicating that the coming COM
mission, without difficulty and with due
regard for the interests of both Gov.
ernments. could put an end to the
Behring Sea controversy, by agreeing
to a complete suspension of pelagic
sealing.
1t is understood also that the proto-
col specifically recites that there shall
be three representatives from each
Government on the Canadian-American
commission. ss
