A movement has been set on foot f +
the abrogation Of that clause Of the

the construction Of war ships on the
lakes By either Of the parties to the

move. The result fit would be the
building offortifcations and ships Of
war for which there would be no real
use. AS long as England is willing to
take the risk Of American invasion the
United States should certainly remain
satisfied with thingsas they are.
