RUSSIAN STRANGER: I say, little boy [Secretary of State William Seward], do you want to trade? I've got a fine lot of bears, seals, icebergs and Esquimaux–They're no use to me, I'll swap 'em all for those boats you've got." [Billy, like other foolish boys, jumps at the idea.]

"Canadians are becoming weary of negotiating with Washington through London, and of the solemn and elaborate farces called arbitration which for one hundred and twenty years have been robbing Canada to enrich the United States."
Daily Mail, London, dispatch from its Toronto correspondent, Oct. 1903

"[The Downing Street decision represented] the most cold-blooded case of absolutely giving away our interests . . . My view in watching the diplomacy of Great Britain as affecting Canada for six years is that it may just as well be decided in advance that practically whatever the United States demands from England will be conceded in the long run."
Clifford Sifton, letter to J. W. Defoe
