Secretary Whitney's Answer on Fisheries Circulars
Secretary of the Navy Whitney criticizes Admiral Luce for distributing a Canadian fisheries circular to American fishermen. He suggests withdrawing such circulars and deferring further statements to our government, noting the aim to avoid court disputes and preserve the American position in the fisheries question.
Fishermen and Dominion Cruisers in International Tension
The narrative explains that if seizures occur the matter must go to courts since warships cannot intervene. Exceptions exist when fishermen's rights are clearly violated by Dominion cruisers. The consul in Halifax reviews such cases and forwards them to the U S State Department.
