tion Of bold American policy"
The truth is that this particular CORE
/ spondence was called for by congress
/ weeks ago. and has been delayed in trans
/ mission principally because Mr.. Foster

part Of it, i'm conjunction with Mr. Ham
lin. was absent in Europe. Now. how

I policy which this government has pEr-
1 sued ever since the first years experience
/ after the Paris award showed the in
! efficiency of these regulations 10 protect

neglected Ia urge an extension Of the
/ rules upon Great Britain. This has been
done courteousIy at all times. and Great
/ Britain has responded in like spirit.

! protested against what they termed the
! abuse Of the right Of search on the part
of our patrol vessels. and on our part
/ the British have been told that their ve-
fusal To permit the sealing up OF fire
arms carried by seaiers amounted To
/ evasion of the spirit OF the Paris award.
| But in all this there has been no exhibit
i tion of affecting or anything like Jngo-
/ ism on part. and while the recent
success of MIR Foster in securing the ad-
{ . he ..t tons ton Of fHa
regulations over the entire North Pacific
ocean beyond the fortieth degree has
! strengthened our positions in the British
+ negotiations, II cannot be said that there
/ has been any change in the line Of policy
/ that was laid down ny Secretary Oiney in
the last administration.
