And whereas it is provided by Article XXXII of the treaty aforesaid
that--
The provisions and stipulations of Articles XVIII to XXV of this
treaty, inclusive, shall extend to the colony of Newfoundland so far
as they are applicable. But if the Imperial Parliament, the legislature
of Newfoundland, or the Congress of the United States shall not embrace
the colony of Newfoundland in their laws enacted for carrying the
foregoing articles into effect, then this article shall be of no
effect; but the omission to make provision by law to give it effect, by
either of the legislative bodies aforesaid, shall not in any way impair
any other articles of this treaty.
And whereas by the second section of an act entitled "An act to carry
into effect the provisions of the treaty between the United States and
Great Britain signed in the city of Washington the 8th day of May,
1871, relating to the fisheries," it is provided--
That whenever the colony of Newfoundland shall give its consent to the
application of the stipulations and provisions of the said articles
eighteenth to twenty-fifth of said treaty, inclusive, to that colony,
and the legislature thereof and the Imperial Parliament shall pass the
necessary laws for that purpose, the above-enumerated articles, being
the produce of the fisheries of the colony of Newfoundland, shall be
admitted into the United States free of duty from and after the date
of a proclamation by the President of the United States declaring that
he has satisfactory evidence that the said colony of Newfoundland has
consented, in a due and proper manner, to have the provisions of the
said articles eighteenth to twenty-fifth, inclusive, of the said treaty
extended to it, and to allow the United States the full benefits of
all the stipulations therein contained, and shall be so admitted free
of duty so long as the said articles eighteenth to twenty-fifth,
inclusive, and article thirtieth of said treaty shall remain in force
according to the terms and conditions of article thirty-third of said
treaty.
