In an interview between a representa-
tive of The Associated Press and Cliff
fcrd Siftin, the Canadian minister of
the interior and agent Of Great Britain
the latter said:
The award was substantially in fav-
or of the United States all along the
line. We have, it is true, succeeded in
esta blishing two of our main conten-
tiors-firstly, as to the Portland canal
and secondly, as to the existence of d
mountain boundary line; but, while
finding in favor of our contentious upon
these phases of the case, the tribunal
has worked out q line in such a way as
to deprive us of all practical benefit.
While We get Wales and Pearse Islands,
which the Americans have been in pos
session of for some years, they are de-
prived of value to Canada by the fact
that the two islands which lie imme-
Giately outside and command the en-
trance to observatory inlet and to Port
Simpson are given to the United States.

the heads of inlets. it has apparently

When questioned regarding the con-
duct of the case by the representatives
of the United States, Mr.. Sifton said:
Il have to say that the agent and coun-
sci of the United States have acted with
perfect courtesy and good faith
throughout"
A Canadian who has been most init
mately associated with the Alaska case
said:
