[19] OUB FKDSKD^ FfiAJSTOE I am no more than you are the dupe of diplo- matic incidents which are regulatedi bo it is said, by victories, followed, however, every time, by further Forfeits and further Humiliation, and the price of this Humiliation is the German vote, which is in the hand of Mr. von Bemstorff. I have not as a principle to hide myself behind, false appear- ances that permit me to cloak my real feelings, to fool my conscience, and to avoid responsi- bilities, la this hour, which i...s as important for the neutrals as foi* the belligerents, we have need of a CHIEF, a LEADER, not of a mere spokesman, who negotiates our capitulation at the price of our shame. Our Force and our Vir- tues, must come out of this war enforced, not weakened, dead perhaps. The position of neutrality, is one of those, which can be misunderstood and abused most easily. At first glance, it would seem that the neutrality, which leads to absolute inaction, is an ideal one. ''You are fighting, I look on." But this point of view is absolutely wrong, if one goes to the bot- tom of things ; even if we found ourselves before a people who respect our neutrality, which is not the case, the way in which we looked upon it would not be equitable.
