Fisheries Dispute Settled.

It is really a remarkable victory
that our State Department has won
in its securing of modus vivendi
with the British government TelG-
tive to the Newfoundland fisheries.
For several years now, the whole
matter has been a sore subject, both
in the Eastern part of the United
States and in the island of New
foundland. and il has often looked
as if unauthorized hostilities might
ensue between the fishermen of
Gloucester and the customs authori-
ties of the defiant little quasi-re-
public.
This Government, it is needless to
say, has been straining every diplo-
matte nerve to bring about a salts
factory solution Of the vexed ques-
ton, one that should appease the
wrath of the Gloucester men and at
the same time be acceptable TO the
observation-disclosures. That aim has
now been accomplished, although 1t
will be noted that It took "a direct
appeal to the British government
and a consequent overriding of the
Newfoundland administration to
bring about the settlement.
Under the new plan of action, the
British government agrees for New
foundIand not to interfere with the
use of purse seines by American
fishermen, in the face Of the fact
that Newfoundland has passed a law
prohibiting that variety of net.
Newfoundland is again squelched by
the British governments agreement
that the island regulation forbid
ding the shipping Of Newfoundland
sailors and fishermen by American
schooners viii not be enforced. On
its side the United States agrees not
TO fish on Sunday; to pay nominal
dues and to report to the custom
houses whenever the fishermen go
on the fishing grounds, at such
times as ls pfactlcable.
1t IS now sincerely TO be hoped
that the Yankee fishermen viii per-
form their part in carrying out the
arrangement that has been made
for them by Washington and Lon
don. This plan is wholly 1, modus
yivendi, as has been stated, and it is
to continue only during the present
fishing season. After that, a new
treaty. covering all disputed points,
win undoubtedly be negotiated, and
much depends upon the behavior of
American fishermen in the matter of
obtaining still more privileges un-
der the new instrument.
If our Gloucester men and others
are nasty" in the matter; are pug
nacious and disinclined to follow
even moderate restraint it might
seriously jeopardize their interests
when the diplomats get together
again next year. Here's to a pros
porous and wholly peaceful season
off the Newfoundland fishing banks.

The Standard Oil Case.

Enough information has escaped
from the Department of Justice and
the Bureau Of Corporations lately
to make il clear that the crisis in
Government efforts 10 control mo-
nopohstic corporations is at hand
Unless some one Of the many mis-
chances Of judicial procedure shall
arise to prevent IA decision on the
main point in issue, this forthcom-
ing proceeding viii determine
whether there is law enough in this
land to subdue a real mouopoly-a
monopoly that owns an industry.
Standard Oh is probably the most
powerful industrial corporation in
the world; so powerful that it is
thought of more as a financial than
an industrial institution. While it
employs subsidiary corporations for
certain purposes, yet in effect it is
directly the owner of so great a
stake in the oil business of this con-
tinent as to make it a monopoly in
its own right. 1t doesn't need any
holding company schemes or gentle
mems agreements or pacts among
diversified interests to hold it to-
gether.
This is the most potent form of a
monopoly; permanent, compact. Sc
cure of control by it's ruling group.
Therefore it is the sort of organiza-
ton toward which the trust makers
have been evolving their affairs, in
recent years, so Wen as they could.
There has been no last word from
the Supreme Court as to whether
this kind of an organization is a
violation of the Sherman law. The
court might conceivably hold that a
single corporation, no matter how
big it grows or how many things it
buys, cannot become a conspiracy;
for bow shall there be a conspiracy
with only one party TO it? This is
the question of law, in its simplest
terms, to which the Department of
Justice and the Supreme Court will
have to address themselves in the
case or gases about to be instituted
against the Standard Oil.
The Standard Oil has the wealth
and doubtless the willingness to
take over in fee all the property
now employed in the prosecution of
its business. It has already done
this as to much of the property once
held by subordinate companies. Its
lawyers viii urge-and it employs
good lawyers-that a rule which
would prevent commercial concerns
buying and selling would be an i'm
possible rule. 1t would make trade
impossible And where, they Wi1
demand, is such a line to be drawn
against Standard Oil without draw

ance, and one not exceptional either,
because Southern born women have
been doing these things now for years
and years. New York mammas should
have grown reconciled to 1t by this
time. There were all the Wilson girls,
born Of Southern parents and the most
brilliantly placed girls matrimonially
OF any In this entire country.
