246 CASE OF THE UNITED STATES. 



the questions submitted for decision, was proposed on the part of 

 Great Britain. The right to submit such question being secured to 

 Great Britain under the general arbitration treaty of April 4, 1908, 

 between Great Britain and the United States, pursuant to which the 

 Special Agreement of January 27, 1909, was entered into. Great Brit- 

 ain introduced among the questions to be submitted Question 6 

 which arises out of this belated interpretation proposed by New- 

 foundland. 



In the circumstances above set forth, the United States must re- 

 serve further discussion of Question 6 until it has been informed, as 

 presumably will be done by the British Case, of the grounds upon 

 which Great Britain supports its contention on that question.
