ment on this point should be clear.
Mr. Gladstone stated that he had re-
ceived the assent of the United States Gov
ernment to the proposal to submit three
principles Of the treaty to the European
Powers for their acceptance. He believed
the prospective advantage to England would
be immense. He concluded by pralsln9

OF Great Britain to her American colo

for the treaty was one-sided even about
the fisheries. He asserted that Great
Britain had observed all the obligations OF
neutrality during the war, and quoted
from the Blue Book TO prove his assertion,
and secuted the idea OF negligence on the
part of the Government. In conclusion,
he said the treaty sacrificed English pres

Gus. The apology for escape OF the Ala
bama made the conclusion OF the treaty
possible. The settlement of the neutrality
question was vast gain, as the neutrality
was England's future policy. Inc omls
sion of any provision for reclprOcatlon was
unimportant, in view OF the progress free
trade was making in America. He defended
the articles concerning the fisheries on the
ground that Canada was really benefited
by them.
The Earl of Kimberly said that Canada
excited favor for the treaty.
