It was better, of course, if they could submit to reason the difenities which arose between nation and nation, but he was afraid the day was far distant when we could trust ourselves absolutely to any kind of tribunal other than that of our He was own right arm. (Hear, hear.) not one of those who believed that we should scrap all those efforts which were being made to bring about peaceful srbi, tration when difficulties arose, but be- tween such efforts and peace-at-any-price there was wide gap, and until human nature changed it would still be neces- sary for the strong man to arm himself in order to keep his house sale.
