In his last Message, in 1908, M.
Jefferson said:
The suspension Of our Foreign
Commerce produced by the Injustice
OF the be!ligereut powers, and the
consequent losses and sacrifices of
u citizens, are subjects of just con-
Germ. The situation into which we

Mr.. Madison. in February, 1915,
in 4 special Message to Congress,
holds the following language:

merce will claim the legislative at

seasonabIy devised as shall secure to
the United States their just probation
of the navigation Of the world. The
most liberal policy toward other MI
tons, if met By corresponding M:p1si-
tons, will in this respect be found
the most beneficial policy toward our
selves. But there is no subject that

And again, in his regular Annual
Message in December Of the same
gear, Mr.. Madison says:
