said the peace convention did not pre-
vent war, but compelled the nations TO

France was willing to invoke arbitra-
zion when certain that the offer would
be accepted, but nothing had happened

that an offer of mediation would be
fayOfably received. If such an offer
were rejected continued the minister OF

Is the duty OF the government TO retain
The entire liberty OF that policy"
