LAKE cHAMPLAIN FISHING
Knotty Problem, Says U. S. Commits

Dr. David Starr Jordan, president Of
Leland Stanford, Jr University, who
is United States commissioner to CON
fer with a Canadian commissioner
with reference to new treaty regula-
tons concerning conflicting fishery
interests in waters along the interna-
tional boundary and who visited Bur
lingtOn last summer in connection
with that mission in the Champlain
valley, is in New York in pursuance in
part Of similar duties, says the Bur
lington Free Press. In the course Of
an interview in the metropolis he
said that his preliminary report TO
the State department will have to be
made before January l. 1t will en-
body joint views as to legislation
necessary to correct the many points
in dispute between the fishermen of
the two countries. On the side Of
this country there will have to be a
great deal Of delicacy exercised for
the issues involve State rights to a
large extent, and no efTicacious ar.
rangement between this country and
Canada can be made unless the var
ious States involved can be brought

conform to the rulings Of the federal
government.
This is matter which has peril

to be taken by the Legislature at
Montpelier during the present SEES.
sion and it will be well for our law
makers to take due notice and govern
themselves accordingly.
Continuing Dr. Jordan said the first
problem TO be settled would Dee that
in relation to the herring fisheries off
| the coast of Maine, particularly In
Passamaquoddy bay He further dis
cussed the situation as follows:
There is a knotty problem center
| ed about Lake Champlain. The
| American fishers In Lake Champlain
are for the most part sportsmen who
insist that the waters should be given
! over to sport only. On the Canadian
| side there are the commercial fisher
men, who resent the presence of the
sportsmen. Both disputants hay,
good reason for backing up thelI
claims.
In the Great Lakes the problem ia
be solved is largely a matter of de
tail only. The whitefsh and lake
herring are the chief commercial
fishes of those waters, and the matter
Of regulating the size of nets, the size
of fish caught. etc, is about the only
thing that is open to discussion there
The primary idea in the lakes as else
where, is to preserve the fish as fan
as possible
There is every reason TO believe
that this attempt to secure a complete
understanding between the two coun
tries regarding the varied and mani
fold fishery disputes will result success
fully. ii not satisfactory 1t follows
as matter of course that any ar
rangement effected must be somewha
i'm the nature OF a compromise and d
both Americans and Canadians mani
fest the right spirit this subject o
constant pickering and Legislative
tinkering will be removed.
