In 1906 and 1907, as the published correspondence® shows, every effort was made by the Imperial Government to secure the co-operation of the Newfoundland.Government in negotia- tions with the United States for the settlement of a modus vivends regulating the fisheries in Newfoundland waters, and it was after the fullest consultation and agreement with the Governments of Canada and Newfoundland that it was arranged in 1909 to submit the questions at issue with regard to the American rights of fishery to the Hague Tribunal On the same principle the Commonwealth of Australia and the Dominion of New Zealand were consulted with regard bo the proposed agreement with France as to the New Hebrides, though unfortunately in the case of these Dominions full co-operation was not secured. A representative of New Zealand, however, took some part in a later negotiation of the details of the arrangement, and in carrying out the arrangement steps have been taken to keep the Governments of the Commonwealth and New Zealand fully informed. But by far the most striking example of arrangements for such consultation are the cases of the General Arbitration Treaties with the United States of America, that ratified on June 4, 1908, and that of August 1911, and the Pecu- niary Claims Treaty of 1911, in which it is expressly provided that His Majesty’s Government reserve the right, in the case of any questions affecting the interests of a self-governing Dominion, to obtain the concurrence of that Dominion in the special agreement which is required under the treaties for the reference to arbitration.

Under the Constitution the Senate occupies an anomalous position, inasmuch as its consent is necessary for the ratification of any treaty, and it does not feel itself in any way bound to accept a treaty because it has been made by the Executive Government. It is therefore reasonable to expect that the United States L Parl. Pap., Cd. 3262 and 3765.
