Ambassador Reid tells Earl Grey that the United States cannot accept the terms proposed to settle the Newfoundland fisheries dispute. He therefore requests that the matter be sent for arbitration before the Hague Tribunal. Until the matter is settled there, he hopes the modus vivendi previously negotiated may remain in place, by which American fishermen will refrain from using purse-seines but will continue hiring local Newfoundland fishermen.
