Ambassador's Reply to Morgan Aims at Behring Sea Misconceptions
The Earl of Kimberley plans to present to the House of Commons an elaborate reply to Senator Morgan's Behring Sea speech.

The document argues no interest was added and the seized vessels' values were overstated, presenting the total as about half of a fair allowance agreed under Canadian masters’ compromise. A plate glass manufacturers meeting in Pittssura fixed capital stock at 1,000,000 dollars.
