Letter from Elihu Root to H. Mortimer Durand

Letter from Elihu Root to H. Mortimer Durand

Secretary of State Root reports that some American vessels have been forbidden to fish off the treaty coast and details the expectations of the treaty between Newfoundland and the United States. Root also discusses a Newfoundland act that may be the source of the confusion: “An Act respecting foreign fishing vessels,” which makes it a crime for American vessels to have Canadian bait fish and other items necessary to fishing on them, but which also says that if these things are on the ship then they must be assumed to have come from Newfoundland, and the ship can be seized, thus abrogating the 1818 Treaty.
