WASHINGTON, SEPT %, 1926.
SIR: have the honor to communicate to you
the substance of despatch which have this day
received from his Majesty's Secretary OF State for
Foreign Affairs, in which am directed 10 an
nounce 10 you the determine ton of His Majestys
Government to allow the provisions of the &C, of
1875, which regulates the commerce with British
Colonies, To have their course.
In re- sorting to this determination, the conduct
OF MS NaJesty:s. Government is open TO the i'm
putation OF iardiness, rather than TO that of preci
piiation.
hope had been entertained that the late ses-
sion OF Congress would not have been suffer ed to
pass by, without the adoption of some measure, on
The accommodation Of the President, for the abol-
tion OF the discriminating duties, which, for lhre e
years past, have been levied in the ports of the
United States, on British vessels, trading between
the United 5 ates and the British Colonies i'm North
America, and the West Indies
a proposition made by his Msjesty's Govern
ment TO the United States, through the British
PienPotentiares, in the late negotiations carried
on IN London-a proposition, having for its OBJ
Ject the reciprocal abolition of all di.crimina
duties levied on colonial intercourse, has been
since the Summer OF 1924, under the consideration
OF the American Government.
An act of Parliament, passed in JULY. 1925
which, while 1t offered the liberty of trading with
the British Colonies to all nations, limited tina,
, liberty % to the ships of those countries which
having colonial possessions, should grant the like
privileges Of trading with those possessions to
British ships, or which, not having colonial pos
sessions, should place the commerce and nayisa
'ion OF this country and of its possessions abroad
upon the footing OF the most favored naton.''
| The United States have colonial possessions
but they might have placed the trade of his Msies-
ty'- colonies In America, in British vessels, upon
the footing OF the favored nation in the ports
OF the United States, and they have not done So
II would have been infinitely more agreeable to
HIS Alajesty's Government, that the liberal dis
position manifested by England towards he Uni
led States. should have produced a correspon-
ding disposition on the Par; OF the American Co
vernment
But finding themselves disappointed in their
long cherished hope that such " ould be the course
OF the Government of The United States, it re-
mains Tor them only TO let the provisions cf the
act OF 1925 take their course.
seIZe this opportunity to renew to You the as
surances OF my high Consideration.
