DISPUTES WITH U.S.A.
Conciliation Treaties With Dominions WASHINGTON, March S. ' The United States is negotiating conciliation treaties with individual British Dominions providing that any dispute between the United States and a Dominion can be referred to a permanent conciliation commission composed of five members —the United States miming two—of which one will be an American, one a non-American. The Dominions, two, of whom one is a Dominion member and one a non-Domin-ion, the Governments agreeing on the fifth. Each Dominion will have a separate commission. Either Government concerned may submit a grievance, or the commission, seeing a dispute developing, may offer its services. Its findings will not be binding. Treaties would replace a portion of the so-called Bryan Conciliation Treaty signed between England and America in 1914. The present negotiations are necessitated by the Statute of Westminster making out of date the Bryan Treaty in its references to the Dominions.
