that il is not within the competence

The court will also define the meaning
OF the liberty To tske fish i'm common

contends that Americans are liable To
the same obligations as are imposed
upon British subjects by the colonial
fishery laws The United States main
tains that any such regulations must
be by joint agreement dictated solely
by .he object OF preserving the fishing.
The court will also declare whether
inhabitants OF the United States should
report at the customs houses and pay
light and other duties. Newfoundland
holds that for the maintenance OF her
rights of sovereignty, the prevention OF
smuggling and the carrying out or
ordinary jursdictional powers she is
entitled TO require that vessels OF every
nationality entering her waters must
report at customs houses, and as they
participate in the benefits Of her light
houses and other services, must pay
dues. The United States maintain that
they are under no such obligations
The court will decide from what point
on the coast is to be measured the thres
marine miles limit. In bygone days
American fishing vessels were seized for
fishing in the Bay OF Fundy, which IL
sixty miles across. The United States
maintains in opposition to the British that
the line should not commence from the
outer headland, regardless OF the width
OF the bay. but that the limit should fol-
low the sinuosity of the coast.
The court will decide whether Amer-
cans may fish i'm the bays. harbors and
creeks of Newfoundland and the Mag
dalen Islands, as they confessedly do on
the coast of Labrador. Newfoundland
denies this right. The United States az
firms the right based upon usage since

PROPHETS OF CALAMITY.

president BROWN of the New York
Central Railway Company has chimed in
with James J. Hill, another great railroad mag
nate in the business of solemnly warning the
country of the dangers that confront it. For
some months Mr. Hills eremiads have taken
considerable space in the newspapers One re-
suit has been that Mr. Hill has been made Doc
tor of Laws by Yale. Perhaps Mr. Brown is
jealous of Mr. Hill and has begun right away to
early in the race, but by next June Yale may see
in him fitting man for Doctor of Science de-
gree
OF course anything that men 50 successful as
Mr. Hill and Mr. Brown may say. is interesting
and instructive Mr. Brown sees danger be-
cause, as he says, the consumption of food is out
running its production. Ii is the question Of
the farm after all, and if our farming interests
decay, we a nation must decay, according to
Mr. Brown. There are various other specks on
the horizon, but none so large as this
The problem is to be solved by better methods
OF farming and the drafting of more men into that
occupation 1t is not the pressure on land that
is disturbing us or will disturb us yet a while.
But we shall have to utilize our land to better
advantage That is evident
There is another point about which Mr.. Brown
did not speak-that is the large percentage Of
men in non-produotive occupations. the profes-
sional and business classes, the manipulators and
users of wealth and not the producers of it.
The greater the number in the non-producing
classes the more the producers have TO labor to
create wealth. How to find proper balance a
good ratio between the producing and the nom
producing classes, is a delicate problem but it
will become an important one if high prices CON
tinue and If it becomes evident that our food sup
plies are to be shorter.
