OUR TEST sOF, The GREAT
7 .faGE court.

I America has proved Its good faith
In movement toward preserving
peace through a great international
court by agreeing with Great Britain
10 rest the decision of, the ancient
Newfoundland fisheries case with
the International Arbitration Court
at The Hague. This case is now be-
ing argued before that court, which,
with It's members and the attorneys
for national litigants, makes up the
most distinguished assembly OF legal
men of the age.
The Newfoundland fisheries case
is regarded as one of the most i'm
portant disputes that has arisen be
tween Great Britain and the United
States In the last century and is the
first case to come before the Inter
national Arbitration Court under the
agreement OF the Powers as signed
by the Peace Convention held at The
Hague in 1907. The dispute dates
back almost one hundred years and
during much OF that time It has been
the fruitful source OF irritation and
of voluminous diplomatic CORE
spondence. Naturally II will be n
matter of congratulation for both
nations when the controversy is at
last laid to rest, as It will be by the
award of the tribunal now In ses-
sion.
The controversy had its origin in
the treaty signed by the United
States and Great Britain In 1918, by
which certain rights Of fishery In
common with British fishermen,
which had been claimed by the Unit
ed States for its people under the
treaty of peace OF 1888, were recog-
nized by Great Britain. while others
were renowned by the United States,
By this remuneration American
fishing vessels were not allowed to
take. dry or cure fish within three
marine miles OF the coast, in bays,
harbors and creeks" of the British
possessions except certain specified
coasts and except in certain cases of
emergency. Some twenty-five years
after the treaty was signed the colo :
NAL governments declared that, the
word bays used In the treaty meant
any bay 80 named on the maps, ire
spective of its width. and some Amer
lean vessels were seized at distances
greater than three miles from land.
The United States denied this in
depreciation of the treaty provisions.

not over six miles wide, were intend.
ed. From that time forward the in-

depreciation has been In dispute. At
a much later period the Newfound-
land Government adopted regulations
as to the coast fisheries of that is
land, which the American fishermen
have the right at certain places to
participate In "in common" with
British, fishermen. Certain of these
tegulat ions were thought to be .di-
.rected against Americans and also
to discriminate In favor of the local
fishermen. The United States pro-
tested against this action as being n
Limitation of the rights of their peo'
pie. Other questions of a minor
character, all growing out of the
meaning placed upon the language of
the treaty, are involved.

be accepted as final In this dispute

Lammasch, the noted Austrian au'
thority on international law. The

The United States pays nothing to
encourage immigration. nevertheless
Europeans swarm over by thousands
and tens of thousands. Canada, with
a population less than that of New
York State, and with an area 1T for
cultivation almost as large as the
United States. spends millions of dol
lars to induce strangers TO settle
there. But they must be the right
sort. Americans more than any
other people are wanted. and forty
five per cent. of the money expended
to attract attention to the opportuni-
ties offered is used to let the people
Of our country know what the Do
minion has. Town settlers are not
desired. The call is for farmers and
farm laborers.
Europe sends its thousands to the
eastern portion of the United States,
and four out Of FIVE stick to the al
ready congested centers of population.
