 ants of the United States, whose vessels resort to the treaty coasts 

 for the purpose of exercising the liberties referred to in Article I 

 aforesaid, are entitled to have for those vessels, when duly authorized 

 by the United States in that behalf, the commercial privileges on the 

 treaty coasts accorded by agreement or otherwise to United States 

 Wading vessels generally ; and the United States requests the Tribunal 

 lO answer and decide this Question accordingly.
