ARGUMENT OP CHARLES B. WARREN. 1143 



the limits of the bays referred to. If the measurement was to be 

 from some arbitrary line to be drawn across each bay on the non- 

 treaty coast, is it not reasonable to conclude that the Commissioners 

 of the two Powers would have agreed upon such lines, or at least 

 upon a method for their determination? And would this most im- 

 portant matter have been left open for future disputes, and ultimate 

 adjustment by some other negotiation? 



Referring now to the chart 



SIR CHARLES FTTZPATRICK : You will identify that chart, so that we 

 may know what you are referring to, when we come to read your 

 remarks in the record? There is only one chart immediately before 

 the Court, and you will identify that in some way, so that we will 

 know what you are referring to in your remarks in connection with 

 it? 



MR. WARREN : I have handed to the Tribunal a set of charts show-

 to say now to the chart which shows the non-treaty coasts of New-

SIR CHARLES FITZPATRICK : That is No. 2440 ? 



MR. WARREN: Yes; No. 2440; and it is a hydrographic chart of 

 Newfoundland, and the adjacent coast of Labrador, from the latest 

 British and French surveys. 



THE PRESIDENT : You are now about to refer to chart No. 2440 ? 



MR. WARREN: I am talking only of chart No. 2440, now, when I 

 proceed to make these illustrations. 



THE PRESIDENT: Exactly. 



MR. WARREN: And the counsel for Great Britain have been sup-

I refer first, if the Tribunal please, to White Bay, so called, on the 

 eastern or outside coast of Newfoundland, well toward the northern 

 extremity of the Island. And having stated my submission, I ask, 

 Mr. President, whether or not the line making that a geographical
