Central Amarican. Mexican. Asiatic. and African countries. I believe I could say. although I am a little modest about universal affirmations. I believe it is almost true as a universal affirmation. that you cannot find. with the exception of the Burlingame treaty. any one in that whole list that relates to a commercial connection that does not either terminate itself by a certain date or provide the mode of its ternination. Almost all of them have a given date when they expire. Sonie of them have a time within which either party may give notice. but there is a clause in almost every one of them providing that by a certain process either country may free itself from the obligations that it assumed. The Burlingame treaty is peculiar. it relates to a commercial and personal connection of emigration and of trade. but it does not say that it shall last ten years or twenty years. or any other period. It is interminable in its provisions. It does not provide that we shall give notice in a certain way. or that they shall give nitice in a certain way.
