White seconded.
In the course of clear and eloquent
statement of the American case he said
the United States Government had ac-
the conference with alacrity because of
the opportunity it was expected the con-
ference would afford for preaching the
true faith regarding the immunity from
capture of private property at sea. He
admitted, however, that the United
States Government recognized it would
be hopeless to expect any decisive re-
suit from this conference, owing to three
causes, first, absence of instructions
from powerful Governments. second,
doubts as to the competence Of the con-
ference, and third, the length of time
necessary for discussion of all the
bearings of the case.

that these supplied one of the best argu-

that this privateering had not the
slightest effect in ending, or even short

position that the Americans were ami
