Secretary Knox and Ambassa-

Secretary Knox and Ambassador Bryce
today exchanged ratifications of the
treaty signed July last providing for the
adjustment of the north Atlantic fisheries

substance prescribes the boundary waters
and provides for a commission which
shall pass upon the reasonableness of
local, Canadian and Newfoundland fish
cries regulations.

One of the questions settled by the fish
cries treaty is that neither Great Britain
nor its colonies may impose regulations
on American fishermen exercising their
treaty rights in the territorial waters or
Newfoundland or Canada, unless such
regulations are held 20 be reasonable by
an impartial tribunal. In case of dispute
neither Great Britain nor the United
States can be sole judge of the regula-
tions. The fishermen will know before
the beginning of each season just wha
regulations will be in force that season,
thus putting to an end the former prac-
tice on the Newfoundland coast of i'm
posing regulations on short notice or

The results attained sustain the chief
