C, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1929 PRICE FIVE CENTS Canada and United States Agree to Arbitration of Case Involving the Sinking of Schooner "Pm Alone" Wide Divergence of Opinion Between the Two Countries i si a t a i l uver interpretation oi xne Anti-smuggling Treaty With Britain OTTAWA, April 26. Canada and the United States have agreed to arbitrate the dispute over the sinking of the Canadian schooner I'm Alone by the American coast-; guard. This decision was revealed last night when Premier King tabled in the House of Commons correspondence between the two governments relating to the case. The case is to be submitted, to two arbiters, one selected by each government, under the terms of the liquor smuggling treaty between the United States and Great Britain. They will decide whether Canada is entitled to redress. The Canadian case was predicated on several pointer That the I'm Alone was at all times beyond an hour's' sailing distance from the United States shore provided , in the treaty. That the essential elements of the international doctrine of hot pursuit were lacking in the case. That the sinking constituted too severe measures to give effect to the American rights under the treaty. In replying, United States Secretary Stimson based the American case on three points: That the I'm Alone was 10.8 miles from shore when first hailed by the coastguard Wolcott and thus within an hour's sailing distance from shore. That continuous and hot pursuit did take place and that the sinking was justified, being the inevitable with Interior on Mixed Train Hon. W. A.
