LONDON UNIVERSITY.

THE INTERPRETATION OF TREATIES.

SIR JOHN MACDONELL (Quain Lecturer on Comparative Law) delivered the third and final lecture of his Treaties," at the London School of Economics, Clare Market, W.C., course upon "International on Thursday, the 6th inst., the subject being the interpretation of treaties. What availed it, asked the lecturerer, to have done with secret treaties, or to ensuring their safe custody, or to draft them with greater care and candour, if they were not interpreted alike? There being no common court to which all parties agreed to resort, and by whose decision they would be bound, treaties might remain unfulfilled, and there might be permanent dissent as to the obligations under them. True, there were rules to which diplomatists professed to adhere. Bat, being numerous, vague, and difficult to apply, disputants could generally pray in aid some of those rules in support of conflicting contentions. The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 contemplated arbitration in case of disputes as to the meaning of treaties, but arbitration was a far from satisfactory method of interpreting treaties. It could not lead to uniformity. It was compatible with as great diversity in interpretation as existed at present. The Covenant of the League of Nations, arts. 13 and 14, also contemplated the settlement of questions arising under treaties by a court of arbitration or a permanent Court of International Justice. But, until there was agreement as to the rules of interpretation, there was every prospect that the experience of the past would be repeated; diplomatists were generally able to put their hands upon some of the many rules which appeared to favour their own construction; the correspondence between them with respect to the meaning of treaties consisting of the bandying to and fro of references to rules more or less generally accepted. The lecturer remarked that there had been, to the best of his knowledge, no thorough, critical examination of the rules of construction specially applicable to treaties. There was, it was true, a large literature dealing loosely with this subject; a literature revealing the frequent discord between diplomatists and jurists; the former inclined to construe treaties in accordance with the system or policy of which they formed a part and which they helped to support. There might actually co-exist two authoritative constructions of the same words; one group of countries permanently adopting one construction, another group adopting another. The lecturer gave as an example the interpretation of the "most favoured nation clause" in treaties of commerce. There were and long had been

two very different views as to its meaning; this country and some others adopting one construction and the United States consistently adhering to another, with very important practieal results. The lecturer then proceeded to trace the history of the rules of construction. In the Digest were to be found a few rules as to the construction of contracts, and many more as to the construction of wills and fidei-commissa. These had been extended to treaties. The origin of certain other rules of construction was to be found in books of scholastic logic. The subject of the interpretation of treaties was much studied by writers on law in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries; and among those who had attempted to give a complete account of such rules were Grotius, Wolff and Vattel. The lecturer then entered into details as to the rules which had been laid down by jurists as applicable to the construction of treaties. He warned his hearers against undue estimation of their value. Most of them belonged to what might be called a mechanical theory of interpretation. Some of them assumed that what was inherently vague could be made clear; that what was unprovided for could be provided for by interpretation; that the authors of treaties had always present to their minds a long list of rules to which they desired to conform; and that there was a sort of magic in those rules which enabled one to extract out of treaties what was not in them. The lecturer particularly emphasised the danger of importing into the construction of treaties between nations all the technical rules applicable to the interpretation of private documents. He gave as an instance a speech by Mr. D'Israeli in 1847, in which the statesman sought to apply a rule of English law to the question whether certain provisions of the Treaty of Utrecht were "merged in certain other provisions Treaties of Vienna. Repeating his warning as to the small value of many " in the of the rules of construction to be found in treaties of international law, he emphasised the necessity of agreement on the subject by those whose business it was to draft and construe treaties.

28. WILL-ANNUITY-LIABILITY FOR PAYMENT OF DEATH DUTIES ON CESSER.-A. B., who died in 1918 leaving property of the value of £15,000 and upwards, bequeathed his business to his son, and directed that the acceptance by his son of this bequest should be conditional on bis agreeing to pay an annuity of £500 to his (the testator's) daughter for ten years from the date of testator's death if the daughter should so long live. The annuity was not charged on the testator's estate or on the business, and the liability to pay it is a personal one on the part of the son. Opinions are asked on the following questions: (1) If the daughter survives the above period of ten years, will any and, if so, what duties be payable on the cesser of the annuity? (2) If the daughter dics before the expiration of the above period, will any and, if so, what duties be payable on such cesser ? HENRICUS.

CORRESPONDENCE.

This department being open to free discussion on all Professional topics. the Editor does not hold himself responsible for any opinions or statements contained in it.

THE POOR LAW AND THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH BILL. - In the debate which took place on the second reading of the Ministry of Health Bill, Mr. J. H. Thomas said that: "Poor-law administration stank in the nostrils of every progressive man or woman, and much of the responsibility was due to the Local Government Board." Well, I am not prepared to disagree with this statement as to the Poor Law administration (though I should add that there has been great improvement of late); but I much fear lest, in consequence of this very strong feeling against the administration, the undoubted excellencies of the Poor Law itself should be forgotten. The main features of it are (1) that it gives under 43 Eliz. c. 2 a legal right to the necessitous to relief; (2) it provides officers who are personally responsible for the due administration of it. Assuming, as seems probable from the statement of intention which appears in the Ministry of Health Bill, clause 3 (3), that the guardians of the poor will be abolished and their powers transferred to the town and county councils and to their committees, it is essential that these two great principles should be preserved. Lawyers who know that this right of the poor dates from the time of Elizabeth, and that in the vast changes made by the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 it was fully maintained (see Merthyr Tydvil case, 82 L. T. Rep. 662; (1900) 1 Ch. 516), will be surprised to learn that this ancient and elementary right is in any danger. But it is; for when Major Astor was asked by Mr. N. M.Lean in the House of Commons whether this right would, in case of transfer from the guardians, be preserved, he evasively replied on the 17th Feb. that the "point should not be lost sight of." Now, nothing would have been easier than to have replied in the affirmative if the Government had intended to preserve it. And the danger is apparent not only from this evasive reply, for we know that the Government has declared i's intention to act on the lines of the Local Government Board report made under the chairmanship of Sir Donald Maclean; and his report, though stating in detail the duties of the guardians which are to be transferred, not only omits to mention the duty to give relief to all the necessitous poor, but actually suggests abolition of the Poor Law, which of course would include the repeal of 43 Eliz. c. 2, and it makes no suggestion of re-enacting this its most essential provision. The wording of this clause of the Ministry of Health Bill is also very ominous. Fourteen times over in clause 3 the Bill speaks of the transfer of "powers and duties"; but when it comes to the guardians it only speaks of their abolition and of the transfer of their "powers "-nothing is said as to keeping on foot "duties," and nothing about keeping up the rights of

the poor. The Health Bill, as a whole, is an excellent one; but may I suggest (a) that a definite promise be obtained from the Government that this right of the poorest be kept alive, and (b) that this clause be amended so as to show that such is the intention. J. THEODORE DODD, M.A., J.P.

FUSION OF THE PROFESSION.-I see by your journal that the question of fusion of the two branches of the Profession in England has been again under discussion. Perhaps it may be useful for your readers to consider the system prevalent in all the English-speaking provinces of Canada. Here we have no fusion; the professions of a barrister and a solicitor are distinct; a man may be a barrister and have only the rights of a barrister, and a man may be a solicitor and have only the rights of a solicitor; but the fact that he is a solicitor does not debar him from also being a barrister, nor does the fact of a man being a barrister debar him from also being a solicitor. If a solicitor, being also a barrister, so chooses, he may carry an action through all its stages, or, if he sees fit, he may engage another barrister to take the case at the trial, or at any other stage, either alone or in conjunction with himself. Solicitors pass one kind of examinations and barristers another and somewhat more exacting. Usually practitioners combine both branches, but there are a few cases where a man is only a barrister or only a solicitor, or where a man, being both a barrister and solicitor, practises solely in one or other capacity. In legal partnerships the junior members of the firm usually do solicitors' work and the seniors the barristers' work of the firm. This arrangement on the whole works well. A CANADIAN. Toronto, Feb. 26.

LEGAL OBITUARY.

Mr. FERDINANDO STRATFORD COLLINS, J.P., solicitor, of the firm of Messrs. W. H. and F. S. Cllins, of Ross, died on the 9th inst., aged sixty. Mr. Collins was a member of the Law Society and of the Solicitors' Benevolent Association, and a past president of the Herefordshire Law Society.

Mr. A. H. F. LEFROY, of Toronto University, died on the 8th inst., at the age of sixty-six. He was the second son of Sir John Lefroy, Governor of Bermuda and Tasmania, by his first wife, daughter of Sir J. B. Robinson, Chief Justice of Upper Canada. Educated at Rugby and New College, Oxford, he was called to the Bar by the Inner Temple in 1877. In the next year Lefroy went to Canada, where he practised and took silk. For some years he has been recognised as one of the foremost authorities on Canadian constitutional law, and his latest work on the subject was dedicated to his third son, who was killed on the Western front in April 1917. He was editor of the Canadian Law Times, which had developed under his control, and was a regular contributor to the Review of İmperial Legislation, published by the Society of Comparative Legislation. At the time of his death he was engaged upon a new edition of Mr. Frederic Harrison's lectures on jurisprudence, of which he writes enthusiastically in a letter just received by the writer, and refers to it as being complete so far as he was concerned with the work upon the volume.

Mr. THOMAS KIRKPATRICK NUTTALL, a member of the Liverpool Chancery Bar, died on the 7th inst. Mr. Nuttall was called by Lincoln'sinn in 1890.
