lAU3IER AVOIDS FONT.
United States Agrees to Arbitrate
After Venezuelan Prrcedcnt-Ofi-
cial Record Not to BE Made Pubic
at Present-UnitcdS States Does Not
Favor British Proposal.

Washington. June 1.-Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier's statement about the controversy
between the United States and Canada,
as telegra phed from ottawa, agrees with
the understanding of the case at this
Capitol as far as they go. But they evil
IDENTIFY do not tell the whole story.
In the first place, Sir Wilfrid confines
his revelations to what occurred within
the joint commissions conferences.
Even these he does not uncover every
thing, for he gives no account OF the
reasons why the proposal to arbltrate
came to naught. The fact is that the
United States agreed absolutely to the
proposal to arbitrate after the precedent
established in the Venezuela case. The
only point on which the two countries
differed was that the United states de-
manded that this arbitration should be
actually "on all fours' with the Nene-
zuela arbitration. In other words, the
arbitration about Venezuela covered
matters which had been in controversy
between the two governments for more
than SO years.
Our commissioners We're not disposed
to draw the line quite SO sharply as they
might on an equal lapse of time. but they
did insist that, as the commission had
been created distinctly for the settlement
of "eXisting differences" between the two
countries, and the scope of its authority
was thereby limited to such differences,
1t had no right to take up any new diff
ferences which might be added to the
catalogue at later dates; and hence, as
the territorial claims which now form
the gravamen of the controversy had
never been advanced by Canada till after
the creation of the commission. that body
was without authority to settle them.
This seemed like a sufficiently logical
proposition, but Canada would not take
that view of it. New conditions, she
thought, had arisen, owing to the recent
