Mr.. X. says, that we are now in rho. same
situation, that the British note would have
placed ms in. "Ihe object of that, SAYS he.
mas been accomplished already" Even If
this were the fdct, il does not prove that we
should have taken the Treaty with this sin
upon its head" AT that time, the French
decree was not in force against our rights.
he government had given us some ass,,ran-
ces, that it would not be enforced. In the
one case then Great Britain had no right to
require OF us to resist that decree, and in
any way too that she might please to call
resistance. The subsequent execution of this
Decree called upon usto change our relations
as TO t,ance--to exclude her trade us well as
that OF her enemy. e, =.

aud not the United States tina, has recorded
from the ground taken in that no.e 2heii

French decree. .No5o all that she asks of
us, rs the condition of repeating her orders

should suspend trade as to France, blu, mere

the two administrations. In 1908, we offer
ed to repeal the embargo as to Great Britain,
and To continue il as to, France In 1909.
u. Britain offers to revive trade with us.
without stipuating and claiming from US any
particular attitude as to her enemy. -
, Both administrations have acted according
to the laws. Under the Hon Intercourse.
MIR. ] would have accepted the same pro.
positions, as MIR. Nj. has done.
