be the prospect of the other half. To what
extent can Turkey be reduced, and still

OF peace. She asks money grant to safe
guard her interests against any surprise not
relying upon mere political arguments,
When one power comes fully armed on the
scene. Our request is not an act of hostility
against any power nor powers, nor mere
IDLE demonstration: but an act of precaution.
