It should be known before new legislation is proposed whether the United States is under any treaty obligations which affect this subject
No acquiescence in wrong, no tame and spiritless submission to injury, can be the basis of respect, and friendship must be founded upon respect.
The question whether Article XXIX is still in force depends, so far as the construction of the treaty goes, upon the meaning of the words 'the term of years mentioned in Article XXXIII'
The first and second and the third and fourth of these provisions are reciprocal in their nature
