Unless it were possible, then, to persuade the great maritime powers of Europe to unite in the suppression of these piracies, it would be very imprudent for us to entertain any thoughts of contending with them.*'* . *Adams, "Works," VIII, 218.
Digitized by VjOOQIC I04 The American Navy The two ministers had an extended corre- spondence, and though Adams said: "I will go all lengths with you in promoting a navy, whether it be applied to the Algerines or not," he still doubted the economy o...f dealing with Bar- bary by force. Jefferson's tone was now, for him, strangely combative. He wrote, August 20, 1785 : "The question is whether their peace or war will be cheapest? But it is a question which should be addressed to our honor as well as our avarice, nor does it respect us as to these pirates only, but as to the nations of Europe. If we wish our commerce to be free and uninsulted, we must let these nations see that we have an energy which at present they disbelieve. The low opin- ion they entertain of our powers cannot fail to involve us soon in a naval war." Jefferson's views involved an association which would furnish one or more cruisers each to act against piracy in the Mediterranean.
