should be clearly recognized that the position of the United States, though incontrovertibly logical and containing the modern doctrine, was distinctly in advance of that then generally held; and, moreover, that it covered condi- ton of things grievously injurious to Great Britain, during an emergency the peril of which she did not exaggerate.
