The embassy disclaimed any knowledge of a protest by Mr. Corey on blishing an Axel Heiburg Land post. ‘With the single exception of the Wilkes' case the United States al- ways has proved jealous of her rights of discovery and there are a number of controversies on the records where these rights were disputed. The majority of these arose over the so-called Guano Islands, little un- inhabited dots in the Pacific and Car- ribean, which were sighted first by German Claim Seen. Even Germany might s claim to portions of the continent. At the treaty of Versailles was deprived of all her posses. sions outside of Europe by specific areas.

Stanley of the New York Herald, was the leader of the British financed expedition into the Conge basin in search of the mission- ary-explorer, David Livingstone, and that Stanley's researches gave to the world its first accurate knowledge of the interior of the dark continent, the United States laid claim to a voice in the disposal of the territory. She did not claim any of it for her- self, but held that Stanley's status £ave her a claim to some voice in the way it was administered. Perhaps the most notable case of dispute over territorial ownership in Which the United States was involved, Yas the Navassa Island dispute with This little plot of land was discovered in 1857 by Willlam Duncan. It lay about 35 miles off the coast of Haitl and contained rich guano deposits. U. S. Awarded Title. Haiti laid claim to it, after Duncan’s discovery, as continguous to her ter- ritory. The United States maintained her position that the island was her own by right of discovery and, in the face of armed resistance, Americans were sustained in removing the guano. The island afterward was abandoned and reverted to Haiti, but the United | States maintained its’ contention that a country could not make the “con- jtiguous territory” claim for land which lay more ‘than three miles be- vond her coast, and that this was the roperty of the nation which discov- ered it. | The American principle of owner- |ship by right of discovery and the |extent of the rights conveyed is laid down in a note on the Louisiana ter- ritory in 1805 by Charles Pinckney aind James Monroe to Cevallos, the Spanish Forelgn Minister. ‘Whenever an European nation,” 1ys this note, “takes possession of any extensive seacoast, that posses. slon is understood as extending into the interior country, to the sources of rivers emptying within that coast, to all the branches and the country they cover, and to give it a right, in exclusion of all other countries, to the Whenever one E makes a_discov and takes pos. sion of any portion of that conti nent, and afterward another does the same at some distance from it, where the boundary between them is mnot determined by the principle above mentioned, the middle distance be- comes such, of course.” This opinion is considered as appli- cable to a continental mass. All of Islands Given. In the case of an island, however, the discovering nation has usually been considered entitled to all, re- gardless of the courses of its rivers, according to Moore International Law Digest, which is considered by the State Department practically as an official volume. Hence under the accepted princi ples of international law Canada's claims fall down, whether the land in the unknown area turns out to be either an island of a continent. But the Axel Helburg land case re- mains to bother all who try to get a clear understanding of the problem. Financial Wizard” Convicted. BATAVIA, N.
