British Foreign Secretary Grey outlines the position of the British government with regards to the rights of American fishing in the waters of Newfoundland pursuant to the Convention of 1818. Due to the difference in interpretation of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, a temporary agreement has been put in place to assure a peaceful fishing season. Grey summarizes the main points of disagreement and makes several proposals for regulation going forward.
