Kit ful strength appeared in the

to the extraordinary performances
of the companies in th. last quarter
nor to the fact that thfl principal

in the caflfl of ita own internal war
loana haa provided against a loaa of

' It has not been a necessity on our
! part to sell them. It has heen prof
' itable. but not e *ential. On OOfl
! hand, >' li eefle*_t___ to the sohrancy
of British trade that wc should buy
from her. On the other hand, it has
hen neceaaary to her very existence
that. she should be able to buy from
ue. And yet both in buying Bnd in
\ selling she has dictated thc terms.
\. a asller who must sell she im
l>o*es restraints upon the buyer; as
the buyer who has to buy she puti
restrainti opop the seller. It li very
eurious. The position of this coun?
try is one of potential self-sustain
ment. This is the only great coun?
try ln thc worid that eould leave ofT
trading with other people and not
only exist but flourish. We have
had the goods whieh others have im
peratively re-piired; we have had
' the buying power which other* have
Bfished anxiously to utili/.e. We
have had in our haml* all the power
to name the terms of trade, but we
have allowed them to be named not
only for us but for all the other neu?
trals. We have had an eeonomic
power such as no conntry ever was
able to exercise before, and wha'
have we done with it? We hav*
SttStained not one neutral trade right
in the world. We might have said
to th.- belligarents, "We will sell only
1 on these terms," and the term.* ipcci
f.ed might have eatabliflhed once for
all the prerogativi'S of neutral eom
nerce. Or we might ha\e *aiu, MWe
will buy from you only on theflfl
terms," naming them again. Kuropc
would have been obliged to M " !>'
any terms we had thought proper to
make, because heis was not the lot
of ehoosing. She had to trade. Our
goods were iiidispensahle.
It is not a queation of ethica. Nal
urally, the bfllligerenti would seek
to Impeifl their own laws upon trade.
We were not obliged to accept them.
The opportunity will end sudd.-nly.
When the war is over it will be tOO
late. And then. the accumulated
precedents of American lUbmiasion
wil! rise up to emburras* us. We
have not gained any rfllpeet Wi
*hail be unable to eommand eonsid
eration. We have been intc
chiefly in the profits of trade and not
in its right*.
