The supreme court says III Us decision: Tn view of the fact that at the date of the 'Conven- ton of 1818' the United Stat,,.s had not recognized the soy. ereignty of Great Britain on t|:e Pacific SlOpe.....I agree with tn conclusion that the 'Conven- tion of 1818' did not apply to the Pacific waters" The court cid not design tc give even the slightest attention to the co - tention of the appellants that, if the treaty did not apply to the Pacific Coast, the United States had never renounced the right of fishery in any of th'e waters north of the present in ternational boundary.
 Courts Attitude Surprising
 In reading the opinion of th" Supreme Court. one cannot e. cape the conclusion that the de. cision was reached primarily for the purpose of upholding til Canadian government as against the claims of aliens without re- Srect to the justice or equity of 'ile case. This is borne out o. the Supreme Court S complete acceptance of the findings ct the lower court in all matters of fact and evidence, without giving consideration to points raised by the appellants, son.c of which certainly cast serious doubt upon the competency of Grown testimony.
 Hair Splitting Indulged In
 The decision is marked to d surprising degree by hair-splir- ting and devious reasoning. For example: The Supreme Court held that the convention of 131G does not apply on this coast. Then it went tu the extent to say that even if the convention did apply, the ''Tillie M" the "Queen City" and Sunrise
The Alaska fisherman., 1931-07-15
THE ALASKA FISHERMAN

Americans the right to "entcr such bays and harbors' for shelter, water, fuel Or repair. In it's decision the Supreme Court says:
 "Now the place where thee three vessels were seized is n ,t shown on the chart or establish ed by the evidence to have been either bay or harror, and if it is not, there is no provision either in treaty pr sts stute which authorizes entry for the purpose of shelter" By it's own words the court admits this anchorage was place of shelter. What is q harbor if it is not a place of shelter?
 Altitude Is Heartless
 Another examrle of devious reasoning is found where the court says: If a foreign vess,. enters Canadian waters fO' shelter against weather whic ! is known to prevail on the fish ing grounds, and the vessel i3 so constructed that it cannot with safety remain outside the three-mile limit in such wealth CT, there might arise a suspicion of want of bonn Aides on the part of the master or owner in bringing a vessel Q! that class l. to @,'cE seas to fish. A want '' bona fides wor Id abrogate aly right or privileg, to shelter g'''en by the sta nte." It s evide',t that where 8 vessel is overwhelmed Oy sea and weath. CT conditions it is because she is so constructed that she cannot cope with sucl conditions. UnG- !1 the courts reasoning then it would appear that the inability of any vessel to cope with nat gal conditions at sea would subject the masters good faith to suspicion. If his vessel was incapable of keeping the sea

the cases of the May, "Quee1 City,, "Tillie M." and Sunrise " It could be appealed to tha Privy Council, but such a course is most improbable. If the mat ter were merely one of the ru:- ing of Canadian court in the case of four trolling boats it would be ended. However, the court has held that the Treaty of 1918 is not applicable on thi; coast. In so doing it has open ed the way to almost certain i;1- ternational difficulties. Certain ly the State Department of tn, United States should intervene in the matter with a view t0 establishing clearly the rights of American vessels in the waters between the United States an6 Alaska.
 A Canadian View
 In discussing the Supre., Court decision, a Canadian at- to1ney has said: "The judgment of MT. Justice Lamont reads lixe piece of special pleading, in which he has accepted the ev- idence of the Grown witnesses; and ignored the evidence of ti.* men on the seized vessels. Al'.o both on the law and on th: facts the only judge who rend- cred judgment has acceptt.d thefindings of the judge in ad- miralty, so that for the purposes for which the appeal was taken the appeal has been useless, art you have no further light as to the law on the question of tA, application of the treaty.
 You will note that the court has not dealt with the question of the continuance of the A1r- erican rights on the Paclf1; Coast as they existed prior to 1918.
 The matter really should go t. the Privy Council, where a
