TO Refer II TO the HAeuE
NEWFOUNDLAND F1SHE1lES
TREATY OF 1918.
Important Decision Reached by the
American and British
Governments.

The American ana British governments
are planning to submit to the permanent
court of arbitration at The Hague the
task OF interpreting the Newfoundland
fisheries treaty of 1918. Ratification Of
the general arbitration treaty recently
negotiated between the two countries will
be necessary before The Hague court can
be called upon to take jurisdiction of this
important case. but this ratification Is
predicted in well informed quarters.
In deciding the controversial point in
this, ancient fisheries treaty. The Hague
tribunal will also have to decide the very
much broader and more important ques-
tion-that of whether state or colonial
laws or regulations shall be permitted TO
interfere with the terms of treaty. ms
latter question has recently confronted
the American administration in most
perplexing way in the case of the Jap
anese school question in California.
The Treaty of 1918.
Under the fisheries treaty OF 1919
Americans were granted the same rights
Of fishing in Newfoundland waters as
were possessed by British subjects. II Is
the American contention that British SUD-
jects possessed unrestricted fishing rights.
The British view of this question Is that
Americans were given such rights only
as British subjects then or at any SUB
sequent time should possess. To accept
this view. the American rights would be
subject to change at the viii OF New
foundland. expressed in the enactment OF
local regulations. Such regulations nave
been made. and each one of them mas
been regarded by American fishermen as
a grievous curtailment Of the original un-
limited privilege to Ash. The attempted
enforcement OF these rights has resulted
in the accumulation Of claims on the part
Of the aggrieved fishermen. and these
claims will be considered in the award OF
the arbitra ton. To this list of claims has
been added those Of the two American
captains of fishing schooners arrested last
week and fined 500 each by the New
fuundland authorities.
An Important Step.
In consenting to submit so important q
principle to arbitration by The Hague
court the, American and British govern
ments are giving that tribunal prestige
in the initial stages Of its existence which
is regarded Automatically as also an in
ternationa1 occurrence of the first magni-
tude, and one calculated to have great IN
fluence is inspiring similar action by other
disputing nations.

that President Apperson of the Mont gomery Traction Company would reach Montgomery In time to get the local franchise muddle strengthened out. As will be remembered, the baseball fran chise is held as collateral for debt owed by the Traction Company. f Last week President Apperson wrote to the local baseball associa tiou that he would be able to get the franchise back in his possession. and that for the sum of 41,35O he would turn it over to the Baseball Association. Since it's organization over one year ago the Baseball Association has never had che local franchise. and therefore has never been Incorporated. Last week one of the officers of the baseball company. Three of the directors, c. A. Lanier, IT,. S.. H. Dent and E. IT. Amerine, have resigned from the board.
 An official of the Traetion Company said that President Apperson is ex- pected to reach Montgomery tomorrow. too late for a meeting of the Mont- gomery Baseball Company to be held before the League meeting in Little Rock.
 It is expected that the local meet. ing will be held next week, with the object of incorporating the baseball company.
