mind the right of overhauling and
searching all neutral vessels for the
property and persons OF her enemies.
The American opposition to these
claims was expressed In the motto
Free trade and sailors rights" free
trade meaning that neutral property
on neutral ships should be unmolest-
ed by belligerent. and sailors
rights" standing for the doctrine that
the person of an American sailor on
was sacred from British insolence.
The impudent and oppressive en-
forcement Of these doctrines by Great
Britain caused the war. but theoret-
ically both questions were left unset

open questions today. The treaty does
not. therefore. mark any advance in
the doctrines Of International law and
does not contain a single covenant

peace among nations or any softening
Of the barbaric rules Of war.
