In my opinion the Canadian Govern- ment's overn ment's eontenttons were extreme. Th treaty of 1818 was too literally inter- preted and the . Canadian legishetiot passed from tune to time to'curry ou the terws of the treaty, :,s interpreted was oonsequeutly of to irritating char- acter. . The enforcementof these role and. regulatioes, thus established, al most led to serious trouble. It wa there ore important that' the situation should bo reviewed he thoeinterest of al parties eciueer ned. :-ort] limberly in a dispatch co the Canadian enthori ties iu 1871, stated that he could -not support the C4inadian contentioe ; thee their interpretation of the trtiaty w too literal and that it must be niter preted'on the br.oetcler Hues of inter- national comity. The Government i therefore blan"owbrtllyfor their narrow views •of the treaty of 1818. It is said, and I must admit- with plausibility, tli;tt the Goveinment Complicated matters first, by their narrow inter- pretation, second by their legislation, Lased upon this interpretation, and thirdly by the harsh measuree em- ployed to vindicate their contentions. From these extreme contentious the Government backed down a ;r'eit,t Ileal, and it would appear that the new Treaty is. a' complete " giye away. " But I think they were more to blame for asking too much during the past than for giving up by. the New Treaty the extreme contentions previously held. 1 believe the Treaty under con- sideration isa' t andr i i nus fair lute ale,-' tsatioa of the convention of 1.818 and I am willing. therefore to accept of is as the best solution of a question which has caused Coeeidei'able irritation be- tween the two countries for nearly one hundred years. The settlement of this question will likely 'facilitate ;:reer• trade relations between Canada and the U. S. If. this Neill be' the outcome of this treaty `settlement we can well afford.to give .the Americanstgreatel fishing facilities.
