Washington, Aug, 4.-Three hun.
dred years after its discovery by Hen
ry Hudson, who first sailed out into
the big sea bearing his name on Aug
4, 1910, Hudson Bay presents prob
lem which may give rise to a dispute
most menacing to Atglo-American re

take active possession OF the rich ter.
ritory about Hudson Bay, to build q
railroad to its shores and to open the
Mediterranean of Canada" to com.

This action may. and doubtless will
bring about a dispute a sto sovereigntv

the Dominion. The country about the
bay is capable Of vast developments
and, with the completion of the rail.
way, an important grain outlet will al.
so be at stake. The southern part Of
Hudson Bay is in n latitude father
south than London, and the climate
compares very favorably with that of
the same latitude in other parts Of
the globe.
