[(4) Article XXII. of the Treaty of Washington is as follows: "Inasmuch
as it is asserted by the Government of her Brittanic Majesty that the
privileges accorded to the citizens of the United States under Article

treaty and to the terms of the question thereby submitted to the
commission, the President shall deem it his duty to make the payment
