FIRST DAY OF THE
ORAL ARGUMENTS
CANADIAN COUNSEL ARGUES ON
ALASKAN BOUNDARY QUESTION
AND THINKS HE HAS SCORED
A GOOD POINT.

London, September 15.-The first day of
the oral arguments in the Alaskan bound
airy question was taken up by Attorney
General Finlay, who partially presented
the Canadian view of this important con-
troversy. When the tribunal adjourned,
at a few minutes after o'clock this af-
ternoon, until tomorrow morning, the
Canadians were gratified at scoring what
they believed to be the first good point.
During the afternoon session the attor-
ney general sought to establish the posi-
ton Of Portland channel and fix the en-
trance thereto. He interpreted the words
"a la hauteur de- in the Russo British
correspondence, leading to the signature
of the treaty of 1925, not as showing that
the boundary lies ION the same parallel
and the lower end of Prince of Wales
island, as claimed by the United States,
but off Of as asserted by Canada. The
effect of this would be to fix the line at
"a degrees, 45 minutes, as claimed by Can
ada. Chief Justice Alverstone agreed with
Attorney General Finlay
When the American counsel have the
opportunity to speak they say that they
will show that the Canadian themselves
have given various interpretations of the
phrase, and they are inclined to minimize
the Importance of Lord Alverstones state
ment.
