II am not disposed to accept without ques-
toning either the accuracy of these statements
or the soundness of the reasons on which they
are predcated. Two families with feud be-
tween them might, so long as they Kept the
peace and observed the law, resent any effort
OF an outsider to harmonic them; but if they
should break forth into open war, so as to dis
turb the general peace and visit universal
harm upon the whole neighborhood, the law
abiding members of the community would
have right to call halt without being guilty
OF impert!nence. Why should not the same
rule apply. morally and legally, to the family
OF nations?"
