i But again and again I am told, "The U.
!, States, as a Power, are not indifferent; it
: sympathizes deeply with those who are OPP
+ pressed; and these viii respect the laws Of
nations, but they have no interest to make
r them respected by others towards others"
t. Interest! and always INTEREST," Oh, how

theinterest of justice and of right? FCheers.
!, Interest! But I answer by the very words

same INTEREST, Eyes, interest is his word)
in international law as private individual
. has in the laws of his country" TCheers.

!. vanced that principle of eternal justice a.
: gainst the mere fact of policy Now he is
! in the position to carry out that principle
$ which he has advanced. Laughter and APP

Y good as his word. [Renewed laughter -

q colleagues, the gentlemen of the bar, will
II remember their calling to be to maintain the
g actual principles of justice against the en-
,fl croachments of accidental policy that they
10 will endeavor to make policy subservient to
q justice, and not justice TO the wavering
n claims of policy; and that they will support
n their high situated brother in profession to
q carry out tic principle which he advanced.
