the claim of Ktrssli to exclude ships

pottunity of doing so , but that in confining

she by implioalion renounced anx claim that

'Pacific ' ocean' did not and does not include

conclusion that our inherent right to

a vast extent of ocean could be
effectively icnoimcod by mcro reticence * or

the justicoof Mr Hluinc's contention that the
