Canary and Marshal Islands were closed against British shipping, alto that British ships were not allowed to participate in the coasting trad® of Belgium, France, Russia, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Brazil and the United States, Lord Lansdowne (Minister for Foreign Affrirs) replied “It is ®x- “ treraely unfair that the British coasting trade is open to foreigners who “ refuse to reciprocate. If we pre- “ served our coasting trade exclusively “ to ourselves, the remedy would prove “disadvantageous.
