hension. As viewed in official circles here the
speeches were designed more or less for po-
litical effect. Sir Wlfrid merely stated the
plain rule Of three" of diplomacy when he
said that. failing com promise on the boundary
dispute. there were but two courses opon-ar-
hitration or an appeal to arms. The only seri-
