§ Sir WILLIAM BULLasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether advice has been given to His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington to further, by direct or indirect means, the reciprocity treaty between Canada and the United States?
§ Sir E. GREYThe answer is in the negative. The matter originated purely with Canada. But it is of course within the duty of His Majesty's Ambassador to give such assistance as the negotiators for the Dominion may request, and all British subjects are entitled to receive.
