But the corollary that this was condition Al upon real participation Ana actual consent Given before not after the determination of policy they could not grasp at All. .4s a form of words or a Graceful theory this in theli1 View might be acceptable but not As a working and governing Pron Ciple of Empire government. The Canadian government in the Exchange of despatches dealing with this misunderstanding made it Cleat that it had no objection to the ratification of the treaty by the King but in the absence of formal approval by its parliament Canada would be free from the particular engagements of the treaty. Insofar very considerable a the treaty affected the issues of War or peace Canada would be bound in common with All his majesty s dominions but no moral obligation existed to accept the de tailed provisions of the treaty or the formal commitments entered in to by great Britain with respect to the neutrality of the Etc. If the government hav ing accepted exclusion from the con Ference had not taken the course it Roll cd the highly important precedent would have been set that the Brit ish government without inviting or permitting the participation of the dominions could make political treaties binding in All their details upon the dominions. Under those conditions the dominions have been at one and the same time colonies so far As the determination of foreign policy was concerned. But full partners with re Spect to the Assumption of responsibility for these policies. Ii r. Canada by its negative attitude upon the question of the Lausanne treaty established the important principle that Thorn is Imperial part j Pership in the making of treaties Only when the nations making up the Commonwealth actually participate. Failing this the dominions that do not co operate Are not bound except in a technical sense by a treaty made by great Britain. By positive action Canada in. The matter of the halibut treaty with the United states established the con verse proposition that a Dominion can make a treaty dealing with its own affairs with another nation with out thereby involving great Britain or the other British nations in any measure of responsibility. This treaty which provided for a closed season for halibut in the North Pacific was enforceable against the world by reason of the that halibut fishing could not be carried on without either an american or Canadian port being used As a base and the agreement called for legis lation closing the ports during the closed season. The Canadian government regarding this a can Adian held that the treaty should be a purely Canadian treaty. Full Powers for Ernest Laponte As plenipotentiary were sought and obtained from the Xing and or. Lapointe repaired to Washington in february 1923, and signed the treaty As the sole British plenipotentiary the suggestion by the British ambassador at Washington sir auck land Geddes that he should add his signature was rejected by the can Adian government on the ground Dominion responsibility for external by John w.

Crichton does not stride boldly into the flame he would embrace but somewhat fearfully lurks at its edges reflecting but a Albert Durant Watson s collected bad with a slight mis quotation from Keats ode to a grecian the introduction by him is further repel Lant when it is Learned that the poet i them to goals of More Abun Dant life and Lead their hearts to Trust in higher flatly we have no to be rescued from anything by anyone the currents we float on Are most agreeable and we have Learned from experience that goals of More abundant life frequently turn out in to tease whisper on j be gaols. However the passage admits of different interpretations we Are in partia.1 agreement and space is running out. Watson turns out to be a poet of a totally different calibre from the others whose work we have with the Best of intentions passed some what discourteous on. He towers above them like a shaggy eras disdainfully1 above the Plain. The Daffodil than which no Flower has driven the poets to floor frenzies expresses a naive but Beautiful Conception of creation that is truly poetic. To nature themes he imparts the singing Lyric note. Our Only objection is that is is too Seldom in the Lyric mood. Oftener he draws the Mantle of out continued from preceding Page Pine. Canada trying to make a can Adian treaty find after All produced an. Imperial treaty and under the conventions was powerless to do any thing else. So it was argued. There there compliments from strict imperialists to the United states Senate upon its acuteness in detecting the Sham and for the promptitude with which it Hadj put Canada in her place As a subordinate Colony. There was much Adverse criticism of can Ada s action in the press of Britain and of Australasia Only in South Africa wag there Presa sup port for the View that the dominions had Power to make their own treaties. Or. Bruce the new prime minister Australia also took pub Lic objection to Canada s innovation. A comment from the times will indicate the line of. Criticism though the language of. Moderation employed does not do Justice to the heat of the general a Tacic. Says the times april what Are tha Points or disagree ment about the treaty Power of the dominions one school holds that the precedent set at Versailles May be extended from cases signed Hyall the in Rutish nations jointly to cases of separate treaties Between one Dominion and a foreign state concerning matters which affect that Dominion Only. This was the View suggested in the Canadian newspapers when the fisheries treaty was signed. This was patently in. The mind of the can Adian government when it requested that or. Lapointe should sign the treaty alone and not in company with sir Auckland Geddes. This too. Is explicitly the View of. The Cape times. This school maintains that since Versailles the Dom Inion governments have definitely possessed a quite separate treaty Power subject Only to the consent of their own parliaments that they have definitely acquired the right of advising the King to conclude trea ties separately and directly without that advice being tendered through or end fired by the Britis i govern ment. This is a Novelty the question came before the Canadian parliament in june 1923, when the government asked approval for the treaty in its orig Nal form minus the american interpolation. It was explained that Canada would obtain the ratification of the treaty As drawn if the United states chose to drop its reservation and ratify the original treaty it would become effective otherwise there would to no treaty. It May be Here noted that this expectation was realized. The United states Senate Droppert the reservation and the treaty As drawn came into effect october 1924. The defence of the treaty by or. King and by or. Lapointe minister of Justice was that it had to do Only with Canadian business. We not said Lapointe do to that this would defeat the purpose of the Canadian government by transforming the Canadian treaty in to Imperial instrument binding upon the whole common wealth. The purpose of Canada in thus limiting the scope and responsibility of the treaty was apparently not realized in Washington.

Their work is sustained by an intense religious Fervour embodied in verses which if they fall Short of the Cloud soaring magnificence of the great Adian views was finally signed Thi United states Senate in the closing hours of the session added in ratifying it a reservation which destroyed its Canadian character. This reservation provided that none of the nationals inhabitants vessels or boats of any other part of great Britain shall engage in the halibut fishery contrary to provision of the said states Senate it will the United be seen regarded Canada and presumably All the othere dominions As parts of great Canada s course in going it alone gave Rise at once to an Empire wide constitutional discussion. Had can Ada the Power to make a treaty which affected herself alone if she had the Power had she the right thus to flout the convention which. Imperialists were everywhere seek ing to establish that the Empire Al ways and spoke Exter Nally with a single voice. Upon both _ 1 these Points controversy Canada s Power to make a. Purely Canadian treaty was challenged by an argument which accepting the religious Poenis often attain Heig hts i authorities As they stood As final of pure and lofty poetic wonder or vibrate in scorn in Well turned lines of incisive truth. The of the Book on Norwood is attested by the fact that one closes it. With a vivid picture of the personality it deals bowl is Mac of the with and a More of. Him. Keen desire to learn seemed conclusive. Essentially it was that As the King could Only Kivo the Canadian plenipotentiary full Powers upon the advice of his British ministers this plenipotentiary was thereby transformed into a representative of the whole Empire whose Sig nature involved the apply the treaty to Australia to new to South Africa or even to the United kingdom. It is a Canadian concern we want this treaty to bind and affect As to the constitutional Point or. King held that the order in Council recommending the granting of full Powers to or. Lapointe was equivalent to advice which had been transmitted through the British minis ters. When or. Meighen replied that the Canadian government tin reality communicated with the Brit ish government and induced it to tender advice to the King or. King replied that this was hair splitting. Canada having thus secured the authorization to treat on her own be half had Felt it unnecessary that the British ambassador should sign it said or. King As it had no bearing of an Imperial Char the London times again Deal ing with the question held1 with or. Meighen that when the Secretary of state for the colonies delegated the Power of signature to or. Lapointe he assumed responsibility for the treaty on behalf of the British there the times went on to say a Funda mental problem awaiting the Confer ence of British prime ministers itt in. This fundamental As the times rightly described it came be fore the Imperial which met in London october 1923, and a. Solution was reached which is one of the great landmarks in the constitutional development of the Brit ish Commonwealth. The official re port of the conference records that the principles governing the relations 61 the Aplous parts of the Empire in connection with the negotiation Etc., of treaties seemed to be of the greatest therefore a committee under the chairmanship of lord Curzon minis Ter of foreign affairs was set up to study the problem upon this com Mittee All the Dominion prime minis ters served. The result waa the drawing up of procedure to be observed in the negotiation Signa and ratification of International this memorandum confirmed in every respect the procedure which. Canada had followed in negotiating tha halibut treaty. It recognized the next of any one part of the make a bilateral treaty whose obligations would rest upon it alone. Such a treaty should be. Bignell Only by fhe representative of Tho government of that part of the Empire and the full Power issued to him by the Kier should indicate that he was acting wholly on its be Lauire. The signature Adlan plenipotentiary half. This according the View of Tho Canadian government was precisely what had happened in re lation to the halibut treaty. The declared that before a treaty is negotiated by any of the governments of the pm every other government of the Empire should be advised so that if its interests Are also involved it May have an. Opportunity of participating in the should a. Second or third government thus come into the negotiations each government should sign by its own plenipotentiary. As regards treaties affect Long the whole Empire negotiated at International conference the precedent of Paris and washing ton was to be followed. 0 the scheme thus adopted is flex Ible and adaptable. A treaty can be made by one British nation or by two or three of them or by All of them in concert. Only in the latter Case Are the treaty Boll Gaitens Empire wide with respect to the More restricted treaties the extent of the obligation is determined by the Sig of a binds Only Canada and it 13 equally True that Tho Sig nature a plenipotentiary representing great Britain does not bind the dominions. In the memorandum there is no attempt to distinguish government of the Empire and another so far As the declarations of this document go All these governments have equal treaty making Powers. This declaration with its obvious implications is simply shattering to the centralist Conception of Empire government derived from the Austin Lan theory of had been manifested in the Long series of suggested expedients of which that of the Imperial Cabinet was the latest it admitted that each British nation had its own particular external affairs which it should attend to itself without worrying the sister nations. It involved clearly the right of any British nation to advise the King with respect to its own forewarn As to the appointment of plenipotentiaries and then As to the ratification of treaties. It implied not Only the right but the necessity of each nation having its own diplomatic equipment. It rendered obsolete Lloyd George s theory stated to the British parliament in 1021, that the diplomatic machinery for the whole Empire must be worked from. Lon Don. It is not surprising that when this treaty mocking. Was made Public there were those who could not believe that the right of the dominions to advise the King with respect to external affairs had been formally asserted by the con Ference. The. Times could not see that there was in the new proce Dure any departure from the Prin Ciple that full Powers to a Dom Inion plenipotentiary would be granted by the Kins with the consent and on the advice of the British gov or. Was equally sceptical. Speaking in the Canadian parliament March 21, he Eon tended that the advice of Canada to the appoint a plenipotentiary or to ratify a treaty would not be effective unless it carried the approval the British government. Or. King the Canadian prime minis assured the House that the re solution meant just what it appeared to that the Dominion government tendered advice to the King accepting full responsibility the British government acting merely As the Channel through which the advice was tendered. He gave this As the intentio.n., of the provision As explained by sir Cecil Hurst of the foreign office who drafted it. It is unfortunate that for the quieting of doubts there is not available precis of the within the distance from the coast that May be traversed in one hour 3y the vessel under suspicion. The conference agreed that Thia Vas a matter of common concern and. The drawing up of an agree ment in keeping with the american on behalf of the whole Empire was undertaken by the foreign office. In due time this convention was negotiated and it was signed q january 1924, at Washington by sir Auckland Geddes on behalf of the Empire express authority hav no been Given him to sign1 for can Ada and for the other dominions. Or. King in asking the Canadian parliament to approve the treaty discussion in the committee Lipon this question. It is no secret that one member of the Massey prime minister new Zea the very Point that was in or. Meighen s mind. He contend under the accepted scheme of Empire government As set Forth by. The Keith particularly the King could Only receive advice from his British ministers. In the discussion which ensued or. Massey stood alone the representatives of All the. Other governments agreeing that it was desirable that the dominions for the purposes indicated should responsibility for tendering advice to Hia majesty. No doubt so far a the past record governed. Or. Massey was right but the time had come to re place the old convention by a new and momentous precedent. V. But if this. Imperial conference Laid Down the procedure by which separate treaties can be made when circumstances Call for them it supplied a working example 01 co operation in foreign in a matter of com Moh concern. This had to do with the request of the United states government that Tor purposes of search at sea in the enforcement of ins United states liquor Law the British should waive. The principle of the three mile limit and consent in the ease of British ships to right of search acid seizure. It is now self evident to the majority of canadians that this Tion the whole basis of Tho con j country is to spend Money upon. Ference and its discussion was the understanding repeatedly made explicit that the conference was a naval defence it must to invested in a Dominion Navy. So far As there is controversy it has to do with fhe meeting of governments for discus i sufficiency of Tho expenditures made Sion not for legislation and that any agreements reached were absolutely by parliament upon Tho Canadian Navy. Tho Navy league of dependent upon the ratification of j once a propagandist organisation for the several governments and pearlta j Tho policy of contribution in now ments concerned. If any other Rule i trying to create opinion favouring were adopted it is Safe to say that j larger upon the i is very unlikely another conference flan Navy.

Thus As an outcome of the Imperial conference of 1923, the in j problem As it affects treaty making has been greatly simplified. By an understanding Between Tho various British governments pro vision is made for individual treaty making by a particular government. And for Empire treaty making negotiated by a single plenipotentiary with the approval of All the governments or by representatives of All the governments co operating As an Empire delegation in an inter National conference.
