clauses concerning fisheries. The reply of
the British government was that the inter |

missioner should sign the treaty, but the
right of the Dominion to reject the clauses
affecting its interests was reserved.

government was perfectly free and untram-

subject came before the Canadian Parlia-
ment. 1t remained for the imperial gov ern-
ment to show what inducements there were
for Canada to acquiesce.
