WE'VE FIXED Up
With England for This Seasons Fish
ing Off the Coast of New
Foundland.

Washington. Oct. S.-Official con
firmation has reached the state de-
partment from U. S. Ambassador
Reed, at London, of the acceptance by
the British government of the modus
vivendi, which is TO govern the fishing
by American fishermen off the coast
of New Foundland, for the present
season.
A reported disruption of the New
found and government may, in the
opinion of officials here, have serious
results. 1t is even hinted that it MAJ
De but the precursor or move tor the
separation OF Newfoundland from the
DrlLlsn crown which would thus Loss
one of its troublesome but valuable
assets.
In the fishing disputes between
Newfoundland and the United States,
me british government has been plac
ed in most embarrassing posiuon.
The Newfoundland government has
Jeen trying Tor some years, by the
adoption OF inimicaI legislation, TO aD
Solutely destroy all the rights of Am
erlcan fishermen which were guaran-
iced by the treaty of 1918.
WANTS TO ACT FAIRLY.
The British government has been
-rying to act fairy IN the matter with
he United States while at the same
lime desiring to do nothing to offend
or to ALLEVIATE the Newfoundlanders.
Fhe particular reasons that are nov
mpelling the merchant class, in con-
rol of the Newfoundland government,
o threaten its disruption are thai
the modus vivendi, agreed to by Great
Britain, contains provision that Ameri
can fishermen may use purse seines
which they claim to be necessary for
successful fishing, and that they MAJ
Employ Newfoundland fishermen.
Both of these things are express Y
prohibited by laws passed by the New
-oundland legislature. That the home
government, in London, should over
ride their local laws is CALLING TO the
NewfouDdlanders. They know, too,
that Great Britain will never resort to
force again to keep one of her col
onies, that so desires, from asserting
her independence so the Newfound
landers are acting in a very arrogant
fashion.
