The United States must think of
the future as we'll as the present and
do everything possible to safeguard
the position of neutrals against the
excessive demands of belligorents. Ma
tions of war are carried far by pop
ular passion and the plea of mill
tary necessity. and il is natural for
them TO think of themselves first and
of the interests OF n-cOmbatants
aftcrward Yet the existence of the
tendency 10 brush neutral interests
aside does not relieve neutrals Of the
obligation 10 hold fast to the rights
embodied in the existing code of in
ternational law-Tights which all ma
tions have acquired because they work
for the benefit of the community Of
nations.
Admitting the difficulties in the way
OF compromise favorable TO nell
trails We must still work hopefully TO
that end One failure need not dis
discourage us. Neutral influence will
become more potent the longer the
war lasts. Least of all should we
think Of meeting first rebuff with
a retaliatOry measure like an en-
largo against all the belligerents.

ammunition or to torpedo such vessels,

The underlying principle OF the Ameri-
