Behring Sea Row Fray Prompts Threats Of Action
The latest Behring Sea correspondence shows Sir Julian Pauncefote relaying Lord Salisbury’s stance that Britain may oppose independent sealing if Canadian claims are upheld while arbitration proceeds. President Roosevelt directs strict protection of seal life and warns of forceful measures if spoliation occurs. The session notes indicate no ratification of the arbitration treaty and renewed calls for a renewed modus vivendi amid growing Senate opposition.
