It would be calculated to excite national susceptibilities, and the cost would in that case far exceed any possible gain. No evil or inconvenience of any importance has hitherto, I believe, resulted from the absence of any acknowledged right of jurisdiction over the adjoining islands - a state of things which has existed for more than twenty years.
