there will DO no legal authority for carrying on
the lobster canning industry on tho French

the British coonlsts alone pursued that in

this and sought 10 prevent the erection OF

to erect permanent buildings along the

Newfoundland fisheries. overruled the colo
nlsts and permitted tho French to establish ~
teen factories They then agreed on modus
vivendi whereby both countries bound them
selves not to erect any more cannerles. and to
submit the lobster dispute to arbitration.
