the result of this system is to define American rights and American obli- gations in the terms of European in terests, and to place the decision in the hands of the six European powers acting in concert We have in prac- tiee enjoyed such privileges as they have granted. We have, with objec- tions more or less violent and with protestations more or less loud, been compelled in the past to accept their version of onr obligations toward them. Specific rights at sea, such as are at present in question, we have commonly enjoyed, though we have never been in a position to exact or defend them.
 "I must emphasize the inexpediency of resistance to the fundamental decis- ions of the great powers. They are too definitely at one on the main pro portions of the International situation, and. when united, are too overwhelm- ingly powerful for us to think of sue | cessful resistance. So long as this is the systeTasand so long as the great European powers unite to support it, we must acquiesce in it's existence. "I would impeach the system my self. The international right Ameri. | ca must champion is the right to be consulted, the right to be considered in shaping the basic and fundamental elements in the international problem, the right to insist that the interna- tional elements in the international problem, the right to insist that the international horizon shall be so broadened as to include not only the affairs of Europe, but those of Africa, Asia and America. The obligation of America is defense of international right as l see it, is to insist that the definition of international right shall be international in scope and inter national in purpose.
 The principle itself is the vital
 thing; that the United States is a ne cessary elemtn of the international community to be consulted in all af. fairs of significance. This fact we
 must maintain and this fact we must defend"
