PROTEST OF THE LONDON TIMES AGAINST THE
ACTION OF BLAINE AND BUTLER.
..aiv TORONTO, Ont March 81, 1873.
Aspecai cable despatch from London to tho Globe
ays:-.'The Times editorial on the fisheries award
says. 1t, Ia unfortunate fer tho good fame Of
tho United States that at . moment when
the hnaacial policy Of Congress has awakened grave
suspicious nud snxeties In Europe some American
politicians OF considerable importance and notoriey
display another phase Of the ropudiang spirit In op
posing the payment isof the award. The
reckless language OF Mr.. Blaine and Gen.
eral Butler Is not only throwing discredit
the country but damugp to the system OF settling
International disputes by arbitration. No courIry
henceorward will DO willing to refer claims TO arbi
traion II the decision OF the arbtrators IL aule to
be challenged by the unsuccessful party.
1T WILL SHAKE AMERICAN CREDIT.
Tbs is as PLAIN as that American credit will be
verey shaken II they refuse to ABIDE by the award
II will be reasonably argued that the gov
eminent which socks 10 evade tho con
sequence OF tho reference to tribunal
