161 CONCLUSION. 



It is submitted on behalf of Great Britain to the Tribu- 

 nal of Arbitration, that the questions raised in this arbi- 

 tration are of far .ureater importance than the mere pres- 

 ervation of a particuhir industry; they involve the right 

 of every nation of the world to navigate on and fish in 

 the high seas, and to exercise without interference the 

 common rights of the human race; they involve the ques- 

 tion of the right of one nation by Proclamation to limit 

 and interfere with rights which are the common heritage 

 of all mankind. In defence of these rights and in the 

 interests of all civilized nations, the above arguments are 

 respectfully urged upon the consideration of the Tribunal.
