ID. White that The Berlin treaty requires
the concurrence of the three powers and
called attention to the dangers which
were sure to arise If there was anything
like IL violation of the treaty. The Amer

iatury ans ~cr which has caused much
satisfaction here. 1t recognized the nee
eSsity for unanin,ty upon the part of all
three powers undeC the treaty, as con-
ditlon of amy settled policy or permanent
