But, fortunately for Us. Spain conciud-

explained and ratified by another treaty
concluded In 1919. By which We both
agreed not only that free ships should

London that Spain had taken American
goods from a vessel flying the British
flag. British squadron would be on Its

The same thing would happen il British
goods were eoniiscated because they
were under the American flag. With
less alacrity. and with very much less
OF sympathy with us, the same thing
would happen IL Spain made the mis-
take OF trying to enforce her Anticipated
notions Of warfare upon either of the
other powers OF Europe.
All this is by way Of argument We
believe such questions will never arise.
II Spain attempted any such policy as
that. we have faith that our navy would
make such reprisals as should drive the
Spanish flag forever from the seas.
