pondent learns that the whole con-
troversy centers upon Canada's eff
fort to acquire an outlet to the sea.
1t is known authoratively that the
Canadian agent asserts that under
the Russo-British treaty Of 1925,
the line crosses numerous inlets. in
Guiding the headwaters of the Lynn
canal. The contention seems to be
that the inlets less than six miles
wide situated in the disputed region
belong to Canada.
United States Consul Foster vigOr-
ously opposes this view, holding that
the treaty clearly places the line
thirty miles inland. following the sim
uosities of the coast. thus separat-
ing Canada from all the arms of the
ocean and putting Porcupine creek
and the gold. districts under Ameri-
can jurisdiction.
The American representatives are
confident that their position is unas-
sailable. The commissioners expect
that the complete consideration of
the entire case will take less than
two months and that even should the
commission fail to render a majority
award. the facts will be clearly es
tablished. This will lead to an ear
lier settlement in the future.
