The Foreign Office released a modus vivendi, a temporary international accord, stating that the government of Newfoundland wishes to conduct the upcoming herring fishing season according to the rules observed in the previous year. The United States accepted this proposal, with the provision that they will not abandon the use of purse seines, pending the outcome of arbitration before the Hague Tribunal. The article goes on to examine the legality of this agreement from the point of view of the British people.
