THE FISHERIES SETTLEMENT.

The a agreement Of The British and American
governments concerning the composition or the
court at The Hague which is 10 arbitrate the
fisheries dispute marks another long step toward
the amicable and equitable settlement OF Il te-
dIous controversy The treaty providing for the
arbitration signed on January q last and
was duly ratified It provides for the sub1nis-
sion TO arbitration at The Hague Of seven ques-
tions concerning American fishery rights in
Canadian and Newfoundland waters under the
terms Of the Anglo-AmeriCan treaty Of 1913
These questions involve the extent 10 which
American fishermen on the British American
coasts are subject TO local police and other reg
ulations: the right of Americans fishing there TO
employ non-Americans as members Of their
crews; the subjectiOn Of Americans to custom
house and harbOr regulations; the conditions on
which Americans may enter coast waters for
shelter. repairs and supplies; the manner in
which three marine miles snail be measured
the right of Americans TO fish in the coast
waters Of certain parts of Newfoundland. and
the extent TO which ordinary trading ship privi-
Ieges are 10 be granted 10 american fishing yes
sells. II Will be observed that these questions
cover the whole ground of the ancient contro-
versy One Of them. the fifth. in addition in
wolves the more general quection of the measure
ment of three marine miles" whether the line
is follow the windingS of the coast OF is to be
run from headland to headland.
According to the treaty. the arbitrators were
to be chosen from the general list of members Of
the Permanent Court at The Hague, and they
have thus been chosen One. Of course, comes
from Canada. and one comes from the United
States. OF the others one. the president, or
umpire. comes from Austria, and another comes
from the Netherlands. The fifth member, upon
whom perhaps most interest will centre. comes
from Argentina, and is none other than Dr. Luis
Drago. the author Of the we'll known doctrine Of
international law which bears his name. IN
such fashion and by such a tribunal will be set
tied a controversy which has existed for the
greater part Of a century. and thus will be ma
terIally advanced the cause of judicial disposi-
tion OF international disputes.
