Document Description

Title	Difficulties with Newfoundland
Author	Longley, J. W. (James Wilberforce), 1849-1922
Publisher	[Royal Society of Canada]
Place of Publication	[Ottawa, Ont.]
Date	1917
Description	This excerpt from the transactions of the Royal Society of Canada which was read by Longley at the May 1917 meeting of the Society is a description of the difficulties that arose between Canada and Newfoundland in 1890 when the latter began to enforce the Bait Act of 1887, meaning licensing fees and fines would now be apply to all countries, including Canada. Exacerbating the situation was the fact Newfoundland began negotiating a reciprocity agreement with the United States, which would have given the US concessions on bait in return for concessions on goods both entering and leaving Newfoundland. Talks between Newfoundland and Canada were initiated with the Bait Act as one topic amongst many, with no real resolutions agreed upon; tensions, however, were eased when Canada and Newfoundland agreed to return to the status quo of 1889, effectively negating the Bait Act altogether.
