In the course of the evening VIM. =.
Forester, member from Bridford, alluded
to the state of the law in regard to the al
legiance of British subjects, saying the
matter especially demanded attention in
the bearing it had upon the relations of
this country with the United States He
thought the time now ripe for arriving at
a definite understanding. He read the law
on the right of repatriation, and showed
that at the present time two millions of
the Queens sabjects were in the United
States as American citizens, in violation of
these laws it was the difference which
arose between England and America in
regard to the rights of adopted citizens,
which caused the War Of 1912, and now
the difference which still existed was
counted on by the Fenians as likely to
again embrOil the two nations, and thus
further their reasonable designs. He
urged Great Britain to abandon her life
allegiance in case Of emigrants in foreign
countries, and advised the appointment Of
a mixed commission to settle the question
forever. |
Sir Robert Collier followed in support
of the views of Lord Forester.
Lord Stanley addressed the House, and
admitted the dogma Of national allegiance
was now obsolete. He informed the House
that the government had already made adj
vances for the settlement of the questions
at issue, and declared they were willing
to meet the government of the United
States half way. There were many diff
culties in the way of an adjustment, but he
was happy to say they were not regarded
as insurmountable. He stated that the
foreign Office was now in communication
with Mr.. Seward on the subject, and con
cluded by expressing his approval of the
proposition Of the member from Bradford
for a mixed commission.
