Salisbury said:
Il thank Nr, Bayard for HIS presence
here. and for his joining IN this historic
meeting. by the few words he has
uttered. he Eas raised his own plane OF
observation SO high a bove the mere level
OF party that, though contrary TO our
practice TO make observations on the
internal policies OF other nations, may
be permitted, without impertinence, to
congratulate him upon the splendid pro-
noulcement Which the people he repre-
sents has made in behalf of the principles
which lie AT the basis or all human So
-eiety.
1T is rather like Bathos, to turn from
that matter TO the not very important
controversy which his country and ours
have had during the recent months I !
only do SO for the purpose OF expressing
my belief that the controversy is at an
end. In the discussions we have had |
with the United States on behalf OF their |
friends in Venezuela, the question has
not been whether there should be arbi- |
tration, but whether the arbitration |
should have unrestricted application.
We have always claimed, respecting |
those who. apart from historic right. had |
the right which attaches to settled es-
Adjustments. that the settled districts
should be excluded from arbitration, |
our difficulty for many months has been |
to find how TO define the settled districts. |
and the solution has come, think. from |
the country Mr.. Bayard represents lin
the suggestion) that we should treat the |
yolonial empire just as we treat ind.
viduals: that the same lapse Of time
which protects individuals I'm civic life
from having their titles questioned.
should also protect the English colony |
from having its title questioned: and
where the lapse OF time could not be
claimed. though there should be an cx-
animation OF the title yet all that equity
demanded In consideration Of such title
should be granted. 1t Is a very simple
solution, and, believe. IL Is not using
unduiy sanguine words. when say that
l believe IL has brought the controversy
TO an end.
1T is a matter OF no small satisfaction
80 the government. at a time when anx-
ious social questions. which are OF far
more importance than political ques-
tons. are troubling America. and there
