TREATY PLAN
SETTLING DISPUTES AMERICA AND DOMINIONS COMMISSIONS MOOTED By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright (Received March tt, 5.35 p.m.) WASHINGTON, March 7 The United States is negotiating conciliation treaties with individual British Dominions. It is sought to provide that any dispute between the United States and a Dominion shall be referred to a permanent conciliation commission composed of live members. The United States would nominate two of the commissioners, one of whom would be an American and one a non-American. The Dominion concerned would also nominate two, one being of the Dominion and one not. The respective Governments would agree as to the fifth member. Each Dominion would have a separate commission. Either the Government concerned may submit a grievance, or the commission, seeing a dispute developing, may offer its services. Its findings would not l)e binding. The treaties would replace portion of the so-called Bryan Conciliation Treaty, which was signed by England and America in 1914. The present negotiations have been necessitated by the Statute of Westminster out-dating the Bryan' Treaty in its references to the Dominions.
