1116 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [PART Vv In 1907 Mr. Fielding and Mr. Brodeur, on behalf of the Canadian Government, negotiated a separate treaty with France which received the approval of His Majesty’s Govern- ment, and which, as supplemented by a Convention of 1909, has been ratified by both Governments. The principle regulating the conduct of such negotiations has always been as in the cases cited above—that His Majesty’s Minister in the foreign Court concerned should be a plenipotentiary for the purpose of signing the treaty, and that the whole negotiation should be carried on under the supervision and with the approval of His Majesty’s Government. The principles were laid down clearly in 1865, and they were more fully expressed in a dispatch from Lord Ripon 2 conveying the decision of the Imperial Government with regard to the resolutions arrived at by the representa- tives of the self-governing Colonies at the Ottawa Conference of 1894, which laid down the following rules :— Any agreement made must be an agreement betaveen Her Majesty and the sovereign of a foreign state, and it was to Her Majesty’s Government that the foreign state would apply in case of any questions arising under the agreement. To give the Colonies power of negotiating treaties for themselves without reference to Her Majesty’s Government would be to give them an international status as separate and sovereign states, and would be equivalent to breaking up the Empire into a number of independent states, a result injurious equally to the Colonies and to the Mother Country, and one that would be desired by neither party. The negotiations, there- fore, between Her Majesty and the foreign sovereign must be conducted by Her Majesty’s representative at the foreign Court, who would keep Her Majesty’s Government informed of the progress of the discussion, and seek instructions from them as necessity arose. In order to give due help in the negotiations, Her Majesty’s representative should, as a rule, be assisted by a delegate, appointed by the Colonial Govern- t Parl.
