The arguments ty which Mr. Olney sup-
ceive the careful econ
am not writlag to you for the purpose of
liscusaing them My object In addressing
ter of some importance Mr
donbtless, to the idadequacy of my own ex-
planation, has misapprehended the purport
of the proposal which I had the honor to
make to him He states that “It appears to
be a fundamental condition that the bound.
iiney, owing,
arbitrators, shall not operate upon territory
bona fide occupied by a Britlsh subject-
shall be deflected in evory tach case 20 a8
to make such territory part of British Gu
lana.”
This was not the intention of my proposals
and the language of my dispateh of 234 May
does not, I think, fairly bear this constrae-
tion. I proposed that “the tribunal should
not have power to include such districts as
the territory of Venezuela,” but 1 did not
propose that they should necessarily be as-
sumed without further proof to be part of
British Guians. 1 only stipulated that the
ownership of them was not to be decided by
the tribunal, which In our judgment, was
inadequate for this purpose. though It was
¥
adequate for the assignment of the unsettied
listricts, I'he settled districts, shown to bo
in disputes by the inquiries of the commission

tintion
