Inasmuch as it is asserted by the Government of Her Britannic Majesty
that the privileges accorded to the citizens of the United States
under Article XVIII of this treaty are of greater value than those
accorded by Articles XIX and XXI of this treaty to the subjects of Her
Britannic Majesty, and this assertion is not admitted by the
Government of the United States, it is further agreed that
commissioners shall be appointed to determine, having regard to the
privileges accorded by the United States to the subjects of Her
Britannic Majesty, as stated in Articles XIX and XXI of this treaty,
the amount of any compensation which in their opinion ought to be paid
by the Government of the United States to the Government of Her
Britannic Majesty in return for the privileges accorded to the
citizens of the United States under Article XVIII of this treaty; and
that any sum of money which the said commissioners may so award shall
be paid by the United States Government, in a gross sum, within twelve
months after such award shall have been given.
