Last Years modus Vi
vendi Now Effective.
viii Govern American Fisher
men In New Found|and Waters
Until Entire Question Is Settled by
The Hague Tribunal.

Washington, July pa continue
ton of the present modus vivendi
governing the New Foundland fish
cries and the rights of American fish
ermen there has been agreed upon as
result of correspondence between
the state department and the British
foreign office. BY this means friction
over the acts of American fishermen
in New Foundland waters will be
avoided pending a settlement of the
whole question before The Hague trl-
bunal. None of the rights of the sub
1ects of either government are i'm
paired by this action.
A distinct advantage is to be found
in the continuation at this time of last
years mOdus vivendi, because it is
anticipatory of the fishing season
which begins in August and hence re-
moves ground for serious complica-
tiOns which are constantly apt to arise
in the absence of any well defined un-
derstanding and agreement covering
the fisheries.
Last years modus vivendi was not
ratified until Sept 4, after a long cor
respOndence between the state depart
ment and the foreign Office at London.
1t is understood that the modus vi
vendi is in precisely the same terms
as that of last year That instrument
worked apparently very satisfactorily
and the season closed without any
serious hitch between American fish
ermen and New Foundland authorities.
There have always been many diff
culties to overcome by the state de-
n a - M in 1nalincr Ea fiShnriac
question, partly because of the insis-
tence of the New Foundlanders OH
their right to legislate locally as to the
fisheries, so long as such legislation
did not in terms discriminate against
Americans and their contention that
they are not thereby infringing the
treaty rights of Americans, a conten-
tion that the British government in
measure at least had to concede.
Then there was the matter of the
use of purse seines and the opposition
by New FOundland last year to the
renewal of that paragraph of the
mOduS vivendi of the previous season
which legaliZed the enlistment of the
New FOundland fishermen as members
of the crews of American fishing
smacks. All of the differences were
satisfactorily adjusted, however,
through mutual concessions and the
troublesome question was settled for
the time being
The continuation of last years
modus vivendi at this early day will
enable the New England fishermen
who contemplate doing seasons
work in New Foundland waters i'm
mediately to make their arrangements
for that work and they will know be-
fore starting out just what they can
and what they cannot do.
Professor Alexander of the Ameri-
can fish commission. following .lis
practice for several years, will soon
go on the government vessel Potomac
to the Bay of Islands on the west
coast of New Foundland to advise
American fishermen of their rights, SO
as to Obviate any clash or friction
with local New Foundland officials.
