Said m Washington five months ago that
t,nirfs Of national honor and or vital IN

,..atf.s I am not here to take That BACK.

a. giving il proper consideration. That
was even recognized under the code duello,
here they had TO call in seconds to dls-

TIN, code ducllo, ! believe that ciViliZa-

Tv. COZ three hundred years ago II a
Wau was sued In England ana ne h , NO no
co.G defence but good right arm, he Dc
..arJ.d the wager Of battle. and the judge
took th, HtiCantS into a twenty-four 1901
rims and the one that knocked the o'le'
..t yff. "a long sword won in law.
ask YOU whether that method OF settle
w,rt between individuals was any more
ridiculous than is the present method OF
settling International controversies py wal
WHAT does il prove If We have been IN
suited by some other nation and we send
olt our army and il is beaten? Does II
prove that we were wrong? No, II proves
THAT the Lord was not on the side OF the
weaker battalions. But II we conquered, 1t
would show that the Lord was with us
right through That is all absurd.
! ask you If when question or lnterna-
.ional honor comes NJ YOU wouldn't rather
have it settled ny learned and competent
Judges and by rules II law and justice and
equity.
So we made a treaty. / said at din
ner I'm Washington that II would be of the
b 'ghcst Importance as an example to the
world if We would make a treaty that
would cover points of national honor and
~ vital Importance to the nation. That
statement was taken up by Sir Edward
,n,y ana by Mr.. Balfour on the floor OF
,lr House OF Commons. Ambassador JUS
,,r.HI. the French Ambassador. VINO sat
