This in nutshell is the celebrated Shore it has Arisen from conditions two centuries old. It has assumed and aggravated form a dozen times within the last fifty years. It hns been played pushed aside compromised and readjusted. But it always breakout afresh As involved As Ever As dangerous und As perplexing How the Piskin g arose. In quieter Days the newfound Landers were proud to speak of their country As eng land s most ancient Colony. This does not mean that it Cou tailed her oldest colonial settlement. It does moan that Newfoundland is the oldest american Possession actually claimed by England the first Over which her Flag flew. Thu circumstance is rarely recalled now except As accentuating the reproaches cast upon the Mother country for neglecting the Degrands of a child thus entitled to consideration. As settled Colony Newfoundland is scarcely a Century old. Representative government wis not conferred until 1823 responsible government not until 1s.vi so that the evils now so oppressive Are older than the col ony s organization and were fastened upon it Long before it contained a habitable horns. They were the result of the contentious of the English and French fishermen who tame out from Devonshire and Brittany every summer to Flash for cod. This Industry began almost immediately after the Cabot discovered the Island if indeed it had not an earlier existence. The French Kiy it had. They declare that the Basque fishermen had been resorting to the newfound land Banks for full fifty years before that event. Be that As it May they were far More enterprising than tha English fishermen and Mado u much greater use of the fisheries and of Tho Island in curing and drying their catch.

Land and they had utterly railed hum was the purpose of sir Humphrey Gilbert s expedition. Another 011 afar grander scale was led by sir George Calvert before he established himself in Maryland Aud became lord Baltimore. These abortive enterprises naturally gave the English a bad impression of the country sex copt As a depot for the conduct of the Fisher ies. And having this one purpose to serve in holding it. And being unable to dislodge tha French already established in Canada and Nova Scotia and to monopolize the fish ing Industry it seemed naturally the Purt of peace and profit to arrange a of orderly Competition. This explains if it does not excuse the fishery clauses of tha treaty of utrecht. French rights in the treaties. The peace of utrecht in 1718, followed Tho victories of the Duke of Mai Borough tie French were then As powerful As the English in America and Well placed to make trouble of the fishing Banks. During Tho War they had actually captured Newfoundland and wer masters of it when Louis was humbled at Blenheim. So that the English in recovering it by a treaty stipulating that from that time Forward it should belong wholly of right to great were really recovering Tho Opportunity to fish and they Felt they could. Well afford to agree that France might use a portion of the Shore for fishing station under conditions prohibiting fortifications and permanent buildings. Tho coast line thus reserved to France extended from Cape Bonavista around the Northern part of the Island Down to Point Riche on its Western coast. In terms and in effect the Arroliga ment n moan Ted to a partition of the Island English to use its Eastern and Southorn shores the French Ita Northern and Obj Tern. The sovereignty of the whole while lodged in England was As much qualified As Are the rights of the owner of a rented House. Substantially this arrangement exists to Day but with curious modifications. After Tho expulsion of the French from Canada and Nova Scotia England s Opportunity to extinguish their fishery rights was perfect she might easily have nude her control of the fishing Industry Complete. Fresh bait Safe harbours Aud grounds for treating Tho fish Are absolutely essential to its profitable prosecution. All these Franca had forfeited but the Superb Craft of her statesmen was easily equal to the task of winning Back by diplomacy one of Tho richest prizes War had lost. Tho Noble Empire founded by Charn Plain and held Aud extended by the jesuits was indeed forever gone and when the peace of Paris had been signed to spot of the thousands of Miles from the Mouth of the St. Lawrence to the Mouth of the Mississippi Over which Tho eagles of France had so ions and so defiantly own remained for their occupation save two Small islands just off the const of Newfoundland. But these St. Pierre mid a Miquelon mount for Franco Tuo salvation of her fisheries. The fishery clause of the treaty of utrecht were renewed and you irined Aud in addition Ali fee were coded in full right to his most Christian majesty to serve Nan to the French Fisher men but they i re not to lie fortified nor to contain buy buildings than those for Tho Couve Uii Iho of the was a larger Ari died Force to be kept i Pon them than fifty men for the this enactment not Beau Long in operation before England Nuci France were again at War and when hostilities ceased the British in was stripped almost As sadly As Bufort.
