ment on that subject, could never have pro-
-duced any hostile feelings. The honorable
and learned gentleman opposite had talked IN.
very imposing language OF the Importance Of
preserving our maritime rights; he did not
see they were connected with the orders In
council. In the rrespondenceb between Mr.
Foster and the American government, the
former had expressly admitted that the block
ade OF 1906 would not be again enforced, IN
less it was thought proper to MAINTAIN It WITH
a sufficient naval force. The American Sc
cretary seemed to receive this intimatlon with
great satisfaction: so that it really appeared
that the sole ground of difference between
the two governments lay in the orders ID
council. He trusted, therefore, that when the
honorable gentleman again used that high and
inHammatory language as to the maintenance
of our maritime rights, he would explain HIM
self little more particularly, and shew where
they were threatened or endangered
