as an iceberg country.
There are numerous in1ets where Ger.

season there are numerous fishing yes
sells on the Grand Banks. and smaller
craft operating all along the coast, so
that the appearance of submarines
would easily be detected. Many of
these smaller craft cruise along the
coast of Labrador. far to the north.
Should a German submarine want to
make demonstration with a view to
throwing a scare into the island. posi-
bly, it would appear right in the harbor
of ST. Johns. At this season of the
year there is a very large amount of
shipping there. The sealers which go
far up among the ice fields have not yet
returned with their cargoes. but the or

land and some with the West Indies, is
at it's height in July and August.
There are a quarter of a million in:

as loyal to the mother country as are
their neighbors, the Canadians. At va

but at bottom there was no real I'M
kindness. The trouble was all over the
bait question and the fishery rights of
the New Englanders under the disputed
Interpretation of the treaty Of Client.
This question also entered into Ameri-
can politics, and western and southern
congressman used to comment with
some sarcasm on the prominence given in
our international relations to New Eng
lands kettle of fish. Yet it was vital
question to the New England fishermen,
or they thought it was, and their senators
and representatives in Congress never al

The controversy was settled during
President Tafts administration by The
something of a draw, but the Newfound-
landers felt that in the main they had
got the best of the New England fisher
men. and they were correspondingly
to be particularly unhappy, so there is
one case of arbitration which may be said
to have satisfied both patries to an inter-
national dispute.
The Newfoundlanders not only had
the controversy with the United States:
they also had what they considered an
actual grievance against the French.
The Newfoundland fisheries were for a
long time one OF the prize possessions
of France. A statement was attributed
to one Of Napoleon's admirals that the
French navy was nurtured by these
fisheries.

France, in fact, showed more regard
for her fishermen than England did
for the sturdy Observation-Disclosures of
English blood. For generations the
British policy was to exploit the col
onists and to discourage settlement,
because it was thought to be more
profitable to send out the fishermen
from Devon, who would return every
