AUTHORITIES 



In addition to the authorities mentioned at the end of chapters, 

 innumerable bluebooks must be mentioned, amongst which 



The Proceedings of the Halifax Commission are reported in Accounts 

 and Papers, 1878, vol. Ixxx (c. 2056). 



Correspondence, relating to the Newfoundland Fisheries, the Bait 

 Acts, the disturbances in Fortune Bay, the proposed Conventions, Treaties, 

 and Arbitrations, have been almost annual between 1878 and 1906. Some 

 of the more important references are given in the foot-notes. 



Sir W. MacGregor made an interesting Report on the foreign Trade 

 of A 'ewfoundland in 1905, vol. liv (cd. 2480). 



The views referred to on pp. 217-18 included those of the Govern- 

 ment of Newfoundland. The ' arguments', on pp. 228-9, were put very 

 forcibly by Mr. Dana at the Halifax Commission. The British official 

 view differed from both from time to time. 



The best available account of the arbitration at the Hague, referred to 

 on p. 236, appeared in the Times and other newspapers of Sept. 8, 1910, 

 and is reproduced more or less in Appendix Y., fast, 253-62.
