SENSIBLE ARBITRATION.

What is regarded by the civilized
world as another practical illustration
OF the value Of the International tribu-
nal at The Hague is the agreement to
submit to that court the long dispute
about the Newfoundland fisheries
This is a dispute under the treaty OF
1878 that has cost more petty friction
and more diplomatic correspondence
between the United states and Great
Britain, together with the provincial
governments of canada and New
~foundland, than many questions Of
much wider interest 1t involves one
Of those complicated questions of To-
cal rights that are more difficult Of
adjustment and often more dangerous
than controversies that really effect
largc national interests.
For this very reason, and because
neither Of the chief parties to the cor
respon1cnce was ever very deeply
concerned, the disputs has appeared
interminable and has been renewed
form ono generation to another. Now
at last there has been found a way to
settle it. by a disintercsted judicial ar
bitration. The treaty just signed on
behalf OF the United states and Great
Britain, with the Dominion of Can
ada and Newfoundland, provides for
the reference Of the whole subject 10
the tribunal at The Hague, under the
provisions established by the interna-
tional conference. Not only will its
Judgment be morally binding upon all
concerned; 1t viii be cheerfully acccp-
as the termination Of a contro-
gersy that could be settled in no other
way.
While wars have often originated

United states over fishing rights
IN the Newfoundland coast cannot be
'cgarded MS a possible event In the
PRESENT era. This does not make less
important, however, the acceptance Of

able resort when in former years
