"Fhe Liberals arc aware that International
obligations must ha respected as long AS tho
circumstances under which they were made
remain unchanged VIZ have fslt from

tts authors. Wo know the rnEaEotnnnts n
government have entered into must be re-
spected | defy any one 10 put lis hand on
any statement by any responsible Ientle Of
tho Liberal party to the contrary. It u I'M
possible to describe the policy OF the
future under circumstances ar which
we can know nothing certain and
ef which 70 can only mike n forecast Eng
lands policy could not be nh imitation of the
policy ST any other power. There Is no
power In Europe except England which has
not known the horrors Of foreign invasion In
tho present century. 1t Ia natural that the
foreign policy OF every other State should he
greatly influenced by tho dread of a reCllr-
renee Of such disnsters. 1t Is not to be won
dered at that other States view with suspi-
COn tho policy and every movement Of ma
tionalitias for disturbance of the balance of
power and say that England, which IL to n
great extent free from apprehension OF this
kind, may aee. unmoved, great deal that
passes In Europe which naturally exGtes the
suspicion and apprehension Of other nations.
England is. through her many colonial pos-
sessions and her Indian possessions, more
liahlo to vital injury than any other State.
Tho conclusion derive from these consider
ations are that England iS less lifted by her
position and tho nature uf her resources than
any other power for a policy Of military nd
miniatration TIE prime minister spoke the
truth when be said tho resources of England
o. " o.. srent that II sho went % war she would
not have to consider whether she could main
tain the war for ono or for three campaigns.
That bell, We to bs true, bu IL f5 also lrru"
t"nt England is less prepared than any other
power Tor the first campaign, and no minister
ought to threaten war or 20 to war, unless ho
asks himself the question, whether the cause
II so obviously just IN the eyes Of tho whole
people that they will be ready to mako those
protratted sacrifices which would be necss-
sary for the prosecution Of the war for one
or for three campaigns. Or for five campaigns.
Nor does 1t follow from these opinions TINT
the policy of England ought to be one of sell
fish and timd Isolation
| believe tho resources of England to bo SO
great that her alliance will always hr courted
in Europe. That alliance ought to be used for
thp purpose of forming and joining In IL com
hinution the States Of Europe for tho purpose
OF preserving peace and Independence, re-
pressing the aggressive ambition of any
strong. the free against the oppressnr This
is tho policy which has always been in the
main advocated by the Liberal party. IT IL
the policy believe, that will now be adopted
by the Liberal party 1t has not been the
policy nf the present government.
