MACKENZIE, English View of American Attitude On Bearing Sea Question. 11 MAY BECOME SERIOUS McKinley’s Appointments to the International Monetary Con- ference Announced, Communication is going on between Washington and London in regard to the Bering sea controversy but the grea- test secrecy is observed regarding the subject. ‘The Pall Mall Gazettee refers to the reopening of this question as another “Jesson of the weakness of arbitration.”’ ‘The St. James Gazette says: “The United States has inflicted another blow on the believers of arbitration. Could a more complete demonstration of the hollowness of arbitration be given? It ix quite possible this matter may become as serious as the Venezuela episode. We are bound to support the Canadians’ rea- sonable claims, and the prospect might make us regret the failure of the general arbitration treaty, did it not show how small respect Washington feels for arbi- tration.” ‘The Globe says that tlfere isno doubt alisbury will refuse to reopen the a question until the stipulated id until Canada’s claims are sat- he importers of London hail with action the prospect that it will ish or stop pelagic sealing,and urge nsion of the closing time of pt sealing to the end of August, and the close of the zone to 200 miles from the Pribyloff islands.
