RIGHTS OF AMERICA
IN THE FISHERIES

The Hague, August 9.-Senator
Elihu Root, of counsel for the United
States before the arbitration tribunal.
devoted today to an exhaustive argu-
ment in which he maintained that the
rights of America in the New Found
land fisheries were unlimited and abb
solute as had been admitted by Lords
Balhurste, Malsmesbury and Salisbury.
The senator expressed confidence that
the court would decide that the Eng
lish colonial laws on the subject of the
New Foundland fisheries were ineffec-
tive, so far as Americans were con-
cerned. without the consent of the
United States. The way would then be
cleared, he said, for the regulation of
the fisheries by mutual agreement be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
