would resist the Ubiquitous attempt of the
United States to claim Behring Sea.
England was pressing for q settlement.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, he felt sure, as
British Minister at Washington. would do
all in his power to bring the matter to a
speedy termination. England had Endorsed
Canada s claims, and recently admitted
that the American contentious were un-
founded If the United States insisted
upon its pretentons, grave complications
would arise.
What the results would be be dared not
say, nor did he care TO think of the results.
Canada had resisted her wrongs; she
would continue TO resist them, and COM
pensation was inevitable. The Marquis of
Lansdowne, xGoyernor-General of Can
ada, took warm personal interest in the
question, and when he went to England he
took with him a statement from the Do
minion Government. The speaker said he
felt Sir Julian equal to the occasion.
Sir Richard Cartwright took occasion to
show what he considered the necessity for
Canada's demanding the establishment OF
an agency at Washington, as Canada alone
was unable to settle her grievances owing
to the intermidable delays in the Foreign
Office. He declared that the claims of the
United States were absurd.
