warded to Lord Granville Secretary Freling-
huysens draft of counter treaty, This is an
elaborate document. in which $50 articles
are scheduled, and in which the United
States agrees to abolish the duty on
sugars under the grade of 16 In the
letter accompanying this draft, Secretary
Frelinghuysen insisted upon the exclusion of
third parties as indispensable. He strongly
urged the acceptance of the American PROPOSE
ton, and the minister Endorsed his views. On
Feb. IL, 1885, Lord Granville wrote to Minister
West that il. was impossible to accept the pro-
posals of the United States He said they>would
revolutionize the conventional stipulations
which governed the commerce Of all nations,
would render the favored nation clause a fruitful
cause of dispute, and would infringe inter
national law. Lord Granville infinitely criti-
cised the points of the proposed treaty. He ex-
pressed his regret that he was compelled TO re-
jecr it. and his hope that an agreement would be
effected sooner or later.
Lord Granville forwarded copy of this dis
patch to the Colonial Office, accompanied by a
note, in which he said that the concessions pro-
posed by the United States were more apparent
than real and that the proposals lacked the
essential elements of stability.
