Turner Discusses Boundary Tribunal Findings on Portland Canal
Former Senator Turner of Washington, a member of the American boundary tribunal, returned and declined to detail how the agreement was reached. The decision granting two islands near the Portland canal to the United States rested on Vancouver's voyage narrative. The commissioners concluded the islands at the canal mouth belong to the U S, while noting strategic value and implications for Canada. Turner called the accord a step forward in future disputes and credited Lord Alverstone for presenting the case on its merits.
