It amounts to knowing, in the entire world, which is to triumph Eight or Wrong, and, IF THE NATION THAT EESPECTS ITSELF, HAS THE EIGHT TO ASSIST AT WHAT IS GOING ON, IN SILENCE AND WITH AEMS FOLDED. You are the representatives of Ameri- can intelligence; solid and serious studies have put you in contact with the past, even as with the present, in the study of universal thought. You are familiar with the great events in history, the uninterrupted wars, which have followed each oth- er through al...l ages, over eternally the same ques- tion on the one side Liberty, on the other Tyr- rany. On one side Justice, on the other Iniquity. You are of those, capable of lifting yourselves above all question of time, of placing yourselves outside all frontiers, in order to distribute, accord- ing to its merits, blame or praise. You possess the plain facts of the great problem, which is being solved on the Old Continent. You are able to judge by reasoning, not only by instinct. In other words, you are marked out as capable of being the arbi- trators, and of directing the spirit of our neutral- ity.
