1926 NORTH ATLANTIC COAST FISHERIES ARBITRATION. 



1165 treated as aliens for this purpose, and yet find employment on 

 Newfoundland coasts that would not entitle the United States 

 to employ foreigners, because the range of the rights possessed by 

 Newfoundland is very much larger than the range of the rights pos- 

 sessed by the United States. The United States are restricted to 

 their treaty in Newfoundland waters, whereas Newfoundland has 

 rights which range over the whole sphere of territorial jurisdiction; 

 and it may employ aliens or exclude aliens as it pleases. Of course, 

 that is a question of legal right, and does not affect and cannot enlarge 

 any privileges the United States possesses. 



I think I have now dealt with the subjects that I desire to put 

 before the Tribunal, and I repeat the apology which I think I have 

 often made in passing at the necessary length of my remarks. I have 

 certainly not willingly extended them. The subjects dealt with are of 

 such magnitude and such complexity that it is almost impossible to 

 exhaust them. I hope I have not exhausted the patience of the 

 Tribunal, who have been so courteous and so attentive, and I thank 

 the members of the Tribunal very gratefully and sincerely for the 

 kind patience with which they have heard me. 



THE PRESIDENT: The Tribunal will take a recess for five minutes. 



SIR W. ROBSON: May I hand in informally, Mr. President, the 

 answer of Great Britain to the statement of the United States as to 

 statutes and regulations? 



THE PRESIDENT: Yes. 



[The Tribunal thereupon took an informal recess for five min- 

 utes.] 



1167 THE PRESIDENT: I will ask Senator Root to begin his ad- 

 dress to the Tribunal.
