creep out, but then they would only do so TO die
It Is therefore say that every nation is under the
necessity OF mutual intercourse with other nations and
therefore II must have what call foreign policy
thar is rule regulating and also promoting the nature OF
this intercourse 10 become subservent to the moral
and material interests OF It's own country, But you will
perhaps object TO me that you have foreign policy You
have such decisive ruieand that is the principle not to
NEEDLE with European eoncerns-not to care about the
condition OF Europe. Well this is the policy OF the silk
wom-that is when the entire foreign policy is summed
up II results in not having any foreign policy al all But
you say Europe rs too far-oo remote,hat its viciss-
tudes cannot Affect your own Interests However 10 this

Europe Yon can therefore not remain indifferent to the
condition OF that in Europe which reacts upon your
condilIon in so many respects
And, not being able to remain Indifferent, then you
cannot take for true policy not to have towards Europe
any policy at all So you must adopt real effective pol
cy that Of not being Indifferent but Of being interested
in the condition OF Europe. Never will you have more
important opportunity for hat-never could the adoption
more glorious and favorable to you, bene-

the European continent! II the condition OF oppres-

satellites Every knows that that condition entirely
impossible to endure.
For months and months you know that the European
continent is approaching fast 10 crisis OF revo utlon
