FISHERIES PROBLEM AGAIN
Newfoundland Herring Industry
Calls for Further Diplomatic
Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE approach
of the first of August, marking the begin
ming Of the new herring fishing season on
the coast Of Newfoundland, is a matter Of
great concern to the state department,
for II finds the fisheries controversy be-
tween American and Great Britain in
most confused and unsatisfactory shape.
The modus vivendi entered into last year,
by the terms Of which, and greatly against
the wish of the Newfoundlanders. Ameri-
can fishermen were permitted to ply their
vocation unmolested off the shores Of that
Island, expired with the close Of the fish
ing season.
The Observation-Disclosures however. were in
sistent upon their right to leRislate locally
for the fisheries so long as they did not
in terms discriminate against Americans,
claiming that in so doing they were not
infringing on the treaty rights OF the
Americans. The British government has
apparently been driven finally to concede
the soundness Of this contention or at
least II has been negotiating through
American Ambassador Reid on that basis
Indications today are that 1t will be DIFF
1cult to reach any kind of permanent
settlement Of the trouble and the whole
effort OF the negotiators is apparently con-
centrated for the moment on the drafting
OF some form OF modus vivendi to guard
against the development of friction on the
fishing shores that might in the end have
serious results.
The occasion is one which calls for much
mutual concession II there Is to be a new
modus vivendi and the Newfoundlanders
are not anxious that there should be until
they have some sufficient assurance that
they can have a satisfactory permanent
ARA angcment To that end they have sug-
gested a reference Of the whole subject OF
conflicting treaty and legislative rights TO
the permanent Hague tribunal. our own
government is not averse to some such
proposition under proper limitations as TO
| the scope Of the arbitration which must be
carefully guarded lest II set a precedent
! which might have a dangerous influence
upon the vexed question of conflicting ma
tional treaty and states rights IN the United
States as involved in the San Francisco-Jap-
anese matter. But It is said the State de-
partment that up to the present moment
/ there has been nothing to Indicate that
the government Of Great Britain itself Is
! willing to accept the Newfoundland sug-
/ gestion as to arbitration and It is therefore
/ giving most of it's attention to the subject
Of the modus vivendi.
