CANADA s SIDE
IS PRESENTED.
Alaskan Boundary Commission
Listens to Oral Argument by
Atty. Gen. Finlay,
MUCH INTEREST," PROCEEDINGS
Because II Was Asserted Some of the
Canadians Would Seriously Resent
An Adverse Decision.

London, Sept. 15-The Alaskan
boundary commission re-assembled at
the foreign Office today and the oral
arguments began. Additional interest
was lent to the proceedings by the
statements attributed TO some OF the
Canadians that their country would seri-
ously resent on adverse decision. New
ertheless only few spectators, in
Guiding the wives OF the commissioners
and of counsel, were present when
Atty.-6en. Finlay rose and commenced
the presentation of the Canadian argu-
ment. IT was evident that the com
missioners at first were not deeply in
terested In the attorney-gera rails state
ment. Having considered the docu-
ments already presented the commits
sioners felt that they were as familiar
with these facts as any Of the counsel.
The arguments were more for the pur-
pose OF removing any doubts which
counsel feel may exist In the minds
of the members OF the tribunal, The

by Ambassador Choate, entered the
chamber. They were conducted to n
table directly facing the commission

ers. The attorney.general briefly de-
scribed the historical aspect OF the
question and took up the treaty under
which the commission was appointed.
He then presented the Canadian con-
tention, each point Of which has al
ready been stated In the argument OF
Clifford Sifton, the Canadian minister
OF the Interior and urged the commits
sloners 10 strictly conflne themselves,
In considering the questions, to the
terms OF the controversy between Great
Britain and Russia OF 1926, and not to
depart therefrom.
The interest of the commissioners
grew as Atty.-Gen, Finlay proceeded
with his analytic study Of the question.
Speaking OF the location OF the line
along the coast from the head OF Port
land channel as fixed by the treaty
the encouragement pointed out that
the report Of the United states coast
survey In 1898 showed that the Wash
ington government had adopted the
view that the line should follow the
general trend OF the coast which
supports the Canadian contention.
Senator Turner at this point inter-
rupted the speaker, saying that the re-
port referred to the trend OF the gen.
eral coast"
Atty. Gen. Finlay remarked that this
was subtle distinction, and Chief
Justice Alverstone ended the discus
sion with saying that It made little
difference, as II was merely the d.
rection OF the surveyors"
