AMERICAN NOTE

IXe Ministers PARLIAMENTARY and Extra
ordinary ofthe u. StateS to The Plenitoten-
fairies Of his Britannia Majesty.
GHENT, August "a, 1914.
The undersigned, ministers plenipotentiary
and extraorJiln ,rv from the y. States of A
mcT:ca, have given to the official note which
they have mad the honor Of receiving from his
Britannia Majesty's Plenipotentiarics, the de-
Nberate attention which the Importance of its
contents required, and have now that of
transmitting to them their answer on the Sc
yeral points TO which it refers.
They would present to the consideration of
the British PleDipotehtiaries, that Lord Cas-
tlereagh in his letter Of the tsh Of November
1913, to the American Secretary of State,
pledges the faith of the British government
that they were willing to enter into discus
sion with the Government of America for tie
conciiatory adjustment of the differences sub
sisting between the two states, with an ear
nest desire on their part to bring them to
favorable issue, upon principles OF perfect re-
eiprocity, not inconsistent with the establish
ed maxims Of public law, and with the mari
time rights Of the British empire" This fact
alone might suffice to slew, that it ought not
70 have been expected, that the American
government, in acceeding to this proposition,
SHOULD have exceeded its terms, and furnish
ed the undersigned with instructions authoriz-
lily LncI1 10 treat Will Tic iJTlIlSn pl9nDOCen-
tiaries respecting Indians situated within the
boundaries OF the United States. That such
expectation was not entertained by the Bri-
tish government, might also have been infer
red from the explicit assurances which the
British plenpotentiaries gave on the part of
their government, at the first conference
which the undersigned had the honor Of hold
ing with them, that nc events, subsequent TO
the first proposal for this negotiation, had, in
any manner, varied either the disposition Of
the British government that it might terminate
IN peace honorable TO both parties or the
terms upon which they would be willing to
conclude il.
It is well knowa that the differences which
unhappy subsist between Great Britain and
the United States, and which ultimately led
to the present war, were wholly Of mari
time nature, arising priu ipaly from the Bri-
tlsh orders in council, in relation 20 block
AIDES, and from the ipprc ssment Of mariners
On board of American vesses.-1he 6ounda-
r. Of Tie Indian territory had never been
Subject Of difference between the two conn
tries. Neither the principles of reciprocity,
the RI si-ns Of public Law nor the maritime
rights Of tie Biit 81 empire could require the
permanent establishment Of such boundary.
