22 WITH MR. CHAMBERLAIN IN THE 



people to reflect upon the advantage or disadvan- 

 tage of undertaking the responsibiUty of the existing 

 relations." 



The Fisheries 



** Do you expect to settle all questions at issue 

 between Great Britain and the United States or 

 to confine your attention to the North Atlantic 

 Fisheries ? " 



** I think the differences with regard to the Fisheries 

 are the chief object of the Commission, but I do not 

 think they preclude the introduction of other ques- 

 tions." 



" As the best solution of the problem, has not Lord 

 Salisbury in his published despatches proposed a 

 return to the Treaty of Washington (without com- 

 pensation for the inshore fisheries) ? '' 



'* It was proposed in those despatches as a tem- 

 porary solution pending further and fuller dis- 

 cussion." 



** In your opinion, Mr. Chamberlain, would it be 

 wiser to work back towards the last method of 

 settlement (the Treaty of Washington) or to take up 

 the Treaty of 1818 and attempt to revise it ? " 



*' It is not open to anticipate what the result of 

 the discussion will be." 



The Behring Sea Seal Fisheries 



" Have you determined to include the Behring 

 Sea Seal fisheries in the proposed settlement ? "
