OTTAWA. Ont. July - In the House Of Com

NIT the subject to arbitration. well justified
the decision Great Britain and Canada had
reached In declining to allow the question to
again go before the Joint High Commission.
He believed that the Government and Commits
sioncrs Of the United States had lost conf
dence in their own claims to this strip OF dis
puted territory
Sir Charles suggested that the Government
introduc" into this Parliament two bills. one
providing for n railway from kitcimat Arm by

for the protection Of British and Canadian in
tercsts by enacting that no license to mine In

stated that he had little hope now OF q COM

tons had not advanced the position one iota
from that Of January last The alternatives. he
gravclv stated. we're arbitration and war. but
nobody for one moment could seriously enter
tain the opinion that the latter would ever by
any possibility arise. Arbitration, he emphati-
caIly declared, must come. ami although an
agreement upon the terms OF arbitration
had not yet been reached. he thought that
Canada's wsest course to pursue was to ex-
erclse further patience and forbearanco. The
