the problem-and that for the reason
that every nation shares with all 9TH
ers joint and equal sovereignty over
the high seas" 5a--'.s.~ EA
But this suggestion OF international
naval cooperation for the mainten-
ance Of the freedom of the seas ana
the integrity of the maritime law OF
nations, so far from disposing me to
criticize Washington's policy of abb
stention from participation in Eur
opean politics. only strengthens and
confirms my approval and admiration
of it. 1t is still true that America
has no interest in the European bal
ance Of power or no concern with the
dynastic, racial and religious struggles
or with the territorial ambitions and
other rivalries which lead foreign
countries to attack one another. Eur
ope has complex of political interests
which have only a remote relation to
America. And 1t would certainly be
most unwise for us gratuitously to
implicate ourselves in the ordinary
combinations and collisions Of her
friendships, or enmities.' Our geo.
graphical location, our national inter-
ests. and cur history and traditions
still admonish US to follow the advice
of Washington, Why, indeed, should
we today any more than in Washing
tons time 'entangle our peace and
prosperity in the tolls of European
ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or
caprice'g'
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-02-22

in the last half century the nations Of
the earth have come into closer re-
lations with one another than ever
before, that the welfare of each is
much more intimately bound up with
the welfare of all than in any pre-
ceding period in the history of the
world, and that the preservation of
universal peace is a matter Of individ-
uaI concern to each member Of the
family of nations, America, for in
stance, being profoundly affected and
IL may we'll be endangered by wars in
Europe. Asia or Africa.
"This is a change brought about by
historical evolution which, of course,
could not be foreseen. The tremend-
Gus problem created by it has not yet
been solved. And though / profound
ly sympathize with the object of the
proposed leagues and concerts to en-
force or establish universal peace !
am unable to convince myself that any
method hitherto proposed of accomp-
fishing that result will be found eth
err feasible in itself or desirable for
adoption by the United States.
Perhaps some progress might be
made IL we focused attention on the
fact that every nation besides being
exclusive sovereign over its own ter
ritory and territorial waters has also
Joint and equal authority with every
other nation on the high seas, which,
as we say, are therefore free to all.
On that actual juridicial basis 1t seems
to me possible, and indeed probable
that an international structure might
be reared for bringing together the
nations Of the world and commits
sioning those with navies jointly to
maintain the freedom OF the seas and
to restrain and punish any belligerent
who infringed on the rights OF neu<

Il mean his advocacy of military pre-
paredness and his general attitude to
the question OF peace and war.
Though Washington was a great
general and fought victorious war
for nationaI independence he was no
glorifier Of militarism. On the other
hand he was equally removed from
pacifism. He regarded war as one. Of

necessity Of placing ourselves in q
