Minister Grey also touched on the 1)1 provision against trust owned Bhips, 8V and gave notice that if that were to n , apply to ships of all nations. Great Britain might desire to supplement her protest further. Now that fte proposal for arbi- 81 , (ration has been squarely presented, the means by which the question D | might be presented to the Hague are " a center of Interest.. The existing arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain exptr^i by limitation next June. If the controversy were to be delayed until then there would be no treaty under which ^ ' the dispute might be arbitrated. In any case of special agreement approv- tQ ed by the Senate would be required ' before the dispute conld be referred P> 1 to the Hague, and there is a variance ^ of opinion as to whether a majority ^ of the Senate would permit the caao; to go there. j ^ Several senators, among them' 1 those considered the best lawyers ini 1 the upper house of Congress, havej declared tbat the Lnited States sure- T ly would losr-tta case at the Hague. ' Meanwhile. Secretary Knox will 1 prepare a reply to the British note. It will be of the same friendly tone t) as was Minister Grey's communlca-' hi tlt-n, entirely lacking any elements ?j of belligerency. tr Today was a regular cabinet meet- T lng day, and the subject was up for w informal discussion by President B Taft. Secretary Knox and the rest of B the President's official family. p!
