present condition and past history OF
American relations with European
powers.
The history OF the diplomatic rcla-
lions between England and the United
States In Itself suggests a rich field for
study. and one Of the most interesting
and heretofore unwritten chapters Is
the famous Trent AFFAIR. an incident
which can be wildly recalled by the
surviving veterans OF the civil war
The story OF this celebrated event, up
on the solution OF whose delicate prob
lem hung, for time. the existence OF
this country. has been. for the first
time. completely told In all it's detail
by Prof. Thomas l.. Harris Of the Uni
ycrslty Of Chicago In a book called
THE Trent AFFAIR"
II Is we'll known to the student OF
history that disturbed relations have
existed between England and the United
States In almost unbroken succession
since the war Of the revolution. First
after the revolution came the British
claim Of the right OF search and the
war Of 1912 resulted. Then came the
troubles Of 1884. growing out Of the
same claim. and again In 1855. at which
time the Cuban outrage created such
general indignation. Towards the
close OF 1860 British and American in
tcrnatlonnl AFFAIRS had assumed a much
moro favorable aspect than usual.
President buchanan In his message
congratulated the country upon the
friendly relations since the Clayton
Bulwor treaty had been settled and the
right OF search claimed by England
again adjusted The prince OF Wales
had just paid visit to this country.
and rs the London Post OF November
10. 1860. said: I'VE believe an alliance
ha0 been consolidated which will en-

the two nations. but OF the civilized

AS Prof Harris says: "Mr. Mason was
