The United States contention was that the boundary should follow a line approximately parallel to the coast and thirty marine miles distant therefrom; the Canadian, that it should follow the summit of the first range, crossing many of the inlets near their mouths. The decision of the Joint Commission of 1903 did not concede the United States claims in full, but gave them an unbroken littoral, substantially what they had contended for. =Index=: =D= Effect of Russian occupation, 38; early history of, 119; history of dispute, 340-341. =Bib.=: Hodgins, _British and American Diplomacy Affecting Canada_; MacArthur, _The Alaska Boundary Award_, in the _Univ.
