May it not be that, in the not distant future, International Law, while ^7 mainly basing its doctrines upon what nations have slowly developed in practice, may also draw inspiration, more and more, from "That Power in the Universe not ourselves, which makes for Righ- teousness". An American, recalling that greatest of all arbi- trations yet known, the Geneva Arbitration of 1872, naturally attributes force to the reasoning of Grotius. The heavy damages which the United States asked at that time ...and which Great Britain honorably paid were justified mainly, if not wholly, not on the practice of nations then existing, but upon what it was claimed oiLght to be the practice ; not upon positive law, but upon natural justice; and that decision forms one of the happiest land- marks in modern times : it ended all quarrel be- tween the two nations concerned, and bound them together more firmly than ever. But while there may be things in the life and work of Grotius which reveal themselves differently to those who study him from a near point of view, and to those who behold him from afar, there are thoughts on which we may all unite, lessons which we may learn alike, and encouragements which may strengthen us all for the duties of this present hour.
