JoHN Bull AND BROTHER JONATHAN.
Mr. Blaine is of the opinion that the
Halifax Fishery Commission was deliber-
ately packed by British influence, and that
the award against the United States Of
s5,500,OO0, was unjust and ought not to
be binding. On the other hand, it is al
legged that the Geneva award of s15, 000,-
600, paid by Great Britain to the United
States, was excessive, and that half of it
still remains in the treasury, after all le-
climate claims have been satisfied. Are
not honors easy? Would it not be better
to submit to 40 unsatisfactory verdict than
to repudiate a tribunal before which we
voluntarily appeared as q nation?
