presentation OF the rule for acceptance by the other
Powers that the statement on this point should be
clear.

rule and America another and the arbltrators still
another
Tho ratification OF the treaty might be to secure
peace; but 1t was. lie urged dangerous precedent
and unwise neglect Of the duty Of Great Britain to
her American colonies, whose fishery interests were
sacrificed; for the treaty was oneslded even about
the fisheries.
He asserted that Great Britain had observed oil
the obligations OF neutrality during the war, quoted
from the Blue Books to prove his assertion. and
secuted the idea Of negligence on the part Of the
| government ut the tiIhe.
In conclusion he SAID the treaty sacrificed English
! prestige it sacrificed all for peace

America would now take az a direct insult. He did
not begrudge the apology but he regretted the retro
spective rule, because 1t put England on trial after

The Earl De Grey and Ripon defended the treaty
and the conduct OF the negotiations. He secuted
the imputation OF the amb-like meekness OF the
British Commissioners before the shearers IL was
true they desired to conclliate the Americans, but
nothing more.
Several OF the proposals made by the Americans
had peep perslsenty declined, although they were
not preposerous. The apology made for the escape
or the Alabama made the conclusion OF good
treaty possible. The settlement OF the neutrality
questions was vast gain, as neutrality was to be
Englands future policy

the articles concerning the fisheries on the ground
that Canada was really benefited by them.

for the treaty.

obliged England TO submit to principles hitherto
unknown to the country.
