"I

for
us
to
prohibit

so
long

That
I

was
because
the

(from
the

for

of

came
to

In

after

had
left

undertaken

.
.
.
But
...
the

is
giving
very
serious
consideration
to
the
question
of
whether
we
would
not
be
wise
to
close
the
port
of
Prince

to
the
American
fleet
under
these
con
ditions.
...
I
would
regret
to
have
to
take
that
step
.
.
.
I
would
rather
approach
those
questions
around
a
common
table
in
the
hope
of
being
able
to
reach
a
solution
which
would
be

satisfactory."
Mr.
Hanson
said
he
understood
negotlaUons
were
under

on
the
subject
between

and

Mr.

said:
"I
can

that

has
not

a

moment
in

step

reasonable

to

The

will

to

It
