The mispension of the neutrality bias at
the discretion of the President might have
Icaliail the universal and burning sense of
foreign insult by suggieiting an efficacious
remedy. l'ilfiirtunattly, the tune has gone
by for that. The people have lost faith iii
the courage and motives of Congress, and
will now demand something that cannot be
