Minister for Foreign Affairs Malcolm Kitteridge.
Malcolm Kitteridge was the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Cabinet of Governor-General John McDowell. Kitteridge negotiated several important agreements with Mexican Ambassador Simon Cardenes, chief of which was the 1884 Kitteridge-Cardenes Treaty, which clearly established the boundary between Mexico del Norte and the Vandalias, provided for an "open Caribbean", and set down the principle that each nation would encourage trade with the other by lowering tariffs.
