ANOTHER BILL
Aimed Against American Fishino Yes.
sells.

st. Johns. N. F.. April 9.-Premie,
Bond has moved in the legislature for
the adoption Of a new bill against
American fishing vessels.
1t provides that if an American fish
ing vessel is found within three miles
OF the coast of Newfoundland, with
palt, supplies or outfits purchased
within any port in the island, the yes-
sci. equipment, stores and cargo shall
be forfeited.
1t also is provided that the task of
Proving that the bait, supplies or out
MS We're not purchased in violation of
tfls act will rest upon the owners of
the vessels.
Inc measure was opposed by the CD.
posltion under the leadership of Ex-
minister of Finance Morine, but a di-
vision of the house sustained the
premier by vote of 10 to 6.
III moving for the adoption Of the bill
the premier declared that the treaty
=. ieie does. not give the Americans
risht TO hsh in the bays, harbors and
eieehs on That section of the coast
where they were granted certain treaty
privileges, His contention was based
upon the fact that the treatv does NOT
specifically state that the bavs har-
DORIS and creeks shall be open to Amer
lean fishermen.
Mr.. Morine contended that the nre-
miers argument in support Of his
measure was untenable. and declared
that under the terms of the treaty. the
Americans have the right to land on
the island and to do anything neces-
sary to secure cargoes Of fish for their
vessels.
The bill will now go to the upper
house for action.
Mr.. Morine declares that any inter-
ference with American fishing vessels
is likely to elicit protests from the
American government to the British
cabinet, possibly provoking serious in
ternational complications.
The government is actively arrang-
ing to enforce the new measure, pro-
vided it is adopted by the upper house.
Coast guards are being chosen and a
request made for a second cruiser to
patrol the coast.
