"By instructions which | caused the
secretary of state to transmit to the

whereby the operation of the said
treaty will terminate in accordance

"'Your excellency will recall that

fully recognized the fact that this an
cient treaty, as is quite natural is nc
longer fully responsive in various re
spects to the needs of the political and
material relations of the two coun
tries, which grow constantly more i'm
portant. The treaty has also given
rise, from time to time, to certain
controversies equally regretted BY
! both governments.
In conveying the present formal
notification to your excellency am in
structed to express the desire of my
government meanwhile. to renew the
effort to negotiate modern treaty @.
friendship, commerce and navigation
upon bases more perfectly responsive
to the interests of both governments.
"T am directed by the president al
the same time, to emphasize the grea,
value attached by the government Of
the United States to the historic rela
