Telegram from Alvey A. Adee to Robert Bacon
Assistant Secretary of State Adee informs Acting Secretary of State Bacon that the Board of Trade leaves to Bacon the decision whether to allow purse-seining this season. This relates to a dispute between Newfoundland and U.S. interests over fishing rights on the North Atlantic Coast. The Board of Trade’s position frees Bacon to negotiate with the British government on the matter. Adee asks that a copy of this communication be given to President Roosevelt.
