A QUESTION FOR NATIONS.
"There must be difficulties whereever the rights ,of one nation impinge on those of others, and it is obvious that the wider the range of territorial waters the greater the chance of dispute Sooner or later it will probably be found better for the nations to air these matters in a general conference. For the moment we must be content to note that the very fact of attempting to make a bargain argues some weakening in the American claim to search, as of right, beyond the three mile limit. But while we have every sympathy with the desire to prevent the evasion of her laws by foreign vessels, we must step very warily in handing over police rights on the high seas to any nation even temporarily."—Westminster Gazette."
