The answer to the pleading of the
Beers for our intervention has already
been given. We have completed 1t off,
cially by our friendly services In the
transmittal OF proposals, which were at
once declined by Great Britain. 1t takes
the acceptance Of two powers to enable
third to act as mediator, and in this
case one OF the beligerents has positively
refused the offer. That refusal put an
end to our friendly services. We can do
now no more than we did then without
taking a dangerous departure from our
national policy OF noD-intervention In
the affairs OF the Old World. That de-
parture would involve our choosing be-
tween accepting a rebuff In silence, or
taking up arms to make good our pre-
tensions to adjudicate a quarrel In which
we had no conceivable public interest.
An Individual who would intervene In
the quarrels of others, but shrinks back
on the brink OF fight and goes his way
In peace, thanks God he Is rid of a
knave, but nation cannot do the same
thing without showing itself craven In
the eyes OF world apt to remember the
precedent. Such nation invites humili-
alton, and usually has not long to wait
for it.
