1t is asserted at the state department
the Cutting case, and that the attitude OF
the government has not changed in any
respect. This case is the fruit OF natural
friction or antagonism between the sys.
TENS OF government OF two peoples who
differ radically in character and customs.
The position we have taken is based upon
the assumption that all tho material facts
and the legal features OF the case are as
they have been set forth in the CORE
spondence and reports already made public.
But in matter involving possible warfare,
1t is held to be incumbent upon us to be
sure that there is nothing OF Importance
behind the official information in hand,
and to this end the best efforts OF the
department are turned. The foundation
once firmly laid, the decision will have to
be made whether the differences found to
exist shall be reconciled through the fur
ther efforts OF diplomacy or by war; but in
no event will this government assent to
the doctrine that an American citizen can
be arrested, tried and punished abroad
for an offense committed within our own
domain.
