British Authorities Cited On
Law of Self Preservation

There are possible cases in
the relations of nations, as Of in
dividuals. where necessity,
which controls all other laws,
may b" pleaded
The same plea OF sclf-defcnse was
made by Great Britain, when in 1907
she demanded that Denmark. u neu-
trail country. shall turn over to her
the Danish fleet for use against
France. When Denmark refused. an
English army landed at Copenhagen
and laid siege to the city and in that
way compelled the Danish govern
ment to surrender its entire naval
force as the price of safety.
The government OF the United
States likewise has had occasion more
than once to appeal to the right OF
self representation.
The chronicle=news., 1915-01-05
Germany in Self-Defensc.

The immediate cause of the war
was the refusal OF Russia to demo-
Billie the troops She was massinS
against the Austrian and German
borders. Germany was engaged in
the effort to mediate between Rus
STA ard Austria and had made some
progress, when Germany became
aware that the time she wa. being
induced to consume in trying to pro
serve the peace of Europe. was taken
advantage OF by her enemies in war
like preparations against her, 1t has
been claimed that mobilization is not
II cause for war, hut an absolute
right of sovereign state. Never
helesS. the maSSinS of troops agains'
a neighbours boundary has ever been
regarded as a menace calling for an
explanation. II is equivalent to what
would be the raising of a club by one
individual against another That
would be assault. The attack with
the club would he the battery. Us
ually assault and battery follow in
quick succession and the person
threatened by the raising of the club
is not required to wait untol he is
struck before defending himself
Thus, while it is true. that Germany
stands before the world ostensibly
the aggressOr by declaring war
against Russia, he fact is that in the
forum of law and conscience. the
blame for the starting of this war
justly falls upon Russia and her al
lies.
l.eber. Vol. II. page Az. in his
work on Political Ethics, says:
a war may be essentially de-
fensive. and yet we may begin it; for
instance, ii we must prevent an in
vasion which is under preparation.
Also Bethman in Vol. X, page o31
proclaims the same principle.
\ point of minor Importance, but
still worthy of consideration, is, that
the occupation of Belgium was neces-
sary to furnish an extended area for
the deploymcnt of The unprecedented
number of troops that would be en-
gagged. Germany also required the
Belgian railroad connections as a
means of transit into France and as ii
general base OF operations. MoltlSc,
in his Work on the F'ranco-Prussian
War. describes the difficulty of the
mobilization of the French troops by
the clOgging up of their roads. In
1870 it was possible for Germany to
carry the war directly into France.
since then a fortified barrier has
been created by France on her east
crn frontier, which made the use of
Belgium by Germany an absolute
necessity in an offensive campaign
against France. General Pisquart of
the French Staff years ago prepared
plans anticipating this situation
Eng glands preparation for the land
ing of troops in Belgium is corol-
larry to this proposition.

Naturalization in Practice.

The subject OF naturalization by
treaty is IA comparatively new inv,
in International law. 1t has been
tried in only few cases, and in these
has met with little success. By the
treaty of Amiens, March, 1909, NAL
ia was neutralized but England took
it and holds it. The neutrality of
Switzerland was only then respected
when she was able to defend it by
force of arms. When France, in
1860, took Savoy. which had bee..
ncutralizcd when it was part of Sar-
DINA, the guarantee vouchsafcd by
the Vienna and Paris treaties was
violated without much ceremony,
and not one OF the guarantors did
aught to maintain the guarantee. The
naturalization by the Vienna Con-
gress, 1915, of the Free State Of Cra-
COW was violated by the elimination
of it's neutrality and independence
when it was arbitrarily annexed by
Austria
An instructive illustration OF the
practical working Of naturalization Is
further afforded by the following:
Russian Note. 31st Oct, 1870, de-
nouncing the stipulations of the Cen
eraI Treaty of 30th March, 1856:
His Imperial Majesty cannot ad-
nit, de facto. that the security OF
Russia should depend on fiction
which has not stood the test of time,
and should be imperilled by her re-
spect for engagements which have
not been observed in their integrity.
In further Russian Note. LIST
