This is the way Mr, Gillett expresses bis sentiment “] am glad to advise that the atti- tude of the administration during the European war has my full and unqualified approval. I thipk it has been wise, impartial, dignified, tem- perate, asserting our rights as neu- trals firmly and considerately, ac- knowledging our duties as neutrals frankly and voluntarily, and dis- playing always friendly and sympathetic spirit which ought to qualify us for any possible role of peacemaker. “I trust this specific and unex- ceptionable disposition will contin- ue. I trust we shall not know any sudden episode to stir hot blood and provoke retaliation. We must remember that the nations that are struggling desperately {or their lives are accusSomed to the daily tor. tures and deaths of thousands, and in their intense absorption are li- able to ignore, even forget, that there are also nations in the world who are still at peace and who are it.
