these hours Of uncalculating Irritation
when the councils OF despair prevail
over those Of wisdom.
The supreme council Will, we have
no doubt, appreciate the motives
which have prompted US to use what
perhaps will be, considered a. too
strong language at this extremely
critical jnncture. It was our plain
duty not only ~ the representatives
Of Hungary. but ~ citizens of the
great community of civilixed nations
whose tranquility requires peace Of
mind to be restored as well as peace
among nations to set this forth.
