HC Deb 27 July 1911 vol 28 c1794
Mr. HUNT

asked whether the American Government has agreed to reduce the number of their warships on the Great Lakes so as to keep the terms of the existing treaty with this country before the new treaty of arbitration is signed between the United Kingdom and the United States?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The question of the Rush-Bagot Agreement has not been introduced into the negotiations for an Arbitration Treaty.

Mr. HUNT

What is the use of making treaties with countries when it has been proved that they will not keep them when made?
