he has at present only given notice for revision, and would have -
to give a fresh notice and another 12 months t warning before he
could tear the treaty. But as a matter of fact, what would
such a denunciation amount to ? He has got other engagements
with us which we no doubt have every intention of seeing respecteclj
( and 1 should say if he were to do anything so theatrical and
ridiculous as to say he denounced the treaty, he would forthwith :
lose his billet. There is nothing to prevent us that I see from •
i deposing him and putting up some one else, in the first place,
no doubt, we should stop his subsidy and give him an ultimatum
as we did before.
Similarly if he wastes time unduly over the discussion of
the revised text, we should I presume, tell him that he can de- •
lay as long as he likes but that meanwhile we should enforce
adherence to the terms of the treaty.
^ou will gather from the foregoing that 1 should not ap
prove of your asiiing him the question, or requesting the pro
mise contemplated on page 2 of your letter under reply, or of
your taking up that line in any way.
Please try and tackle him article by article as 1 have
suggested if you can devise no better means of arriving at the
necessary result; 1 am sure it is not the least use, especially •
in this weather, attempting to attack the instrument as a whole.
1 send you my copy of his proposals and your notes with
rough pencil marginal notes in case they may be of use. Please
return when done with.
