Sir James Ferguson, who was all
over the United States last autumn,
and sides with the South, took the
same line of argument as Mr.. Gre
CORY. Mr.. Mines defended the course
pursued by the government, and Mr..
Lindsay, vehemently contended that
the blockades are illegal and ought to
be disrcgarded.
The Solicitor General (Sir Rounded
Palmcr), in a speech of great ability,
full of argument, and extremely elo-
qucnt, proved to demonstration that
it is impossible for Great Britain not
to acquiesce in these blockadcs; that
to force them would be an act OF
war, and would be a departure from,
principles, which if Great Britain was
a belligcrcnt she would be obliged
stoutly to maintain and act upon.

While, according to Wilson, he was
the leader Of his party. and, while he
acted accordingly, with considerable
effectiveness, incidentally stimulat-
ing partisan opposition because he set
himself up as a partisan leader
opposition which he might otherwise
have escaped in part-it cannot be
said. believe, that he did not
recognize the place Of Congress in
our system and what was due it.
On the contrary, he went even
beyond the necessary bounds in OBJ
serving its place and powers. He
fought to get through Congress what
he believed to be in the nations in
tcrest, and, when necessary, sought

get its backing. But in all matters
Of national Importance, particularly
in the field Of foreign affairs. in
respect Of which he, rs President,
was vested with great power. he went
out his way TO keep Congress in
formed nf developments and to reveal
his thinking to it.
Time and time again, although be
knew that he had power to do things,
he appeared before Congress to lay
before it the situation and the es-
scntial things which lay in his
thought He did this :or many rca-
sons, particularly because, knowing
that grave action might be necessary

CAREFUL OF POWER.
This attitude bc carly revealed. On
April 20, 1914. when the trouble with
Huerta became acute, in his first
message after the Tampico incident,
he said:
"No doubt ! could do what is ncccs-
sary in the circumstances to enforce

For example, the late change at
Turin has been owing partly to a It's

less men and women at Turin, and
partly to a speech by Baron RicasoIi,
very excellent in itself, but which was
supposed to countenance the warlike

With the average Republican ad-

away from the body; and then if it
