50 COUNTEB-CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN. 



58 CONCLUSION. 



In conclusion, His Majesty's Government submits that this ques- 

 tion must be decided by the plain language of the treaty, and not by 

 other reasons, and that the treaty applies to all bays without quali- 

 fication: that in any case the evidence before this Tribunal does not 

 support the argument presented in the Case of the United States; 

 and that the construction for which Great Britain contends, and for 

 which, as has been shown, she has from the first contended, is correct.
