The death of Mr. Roosevelt makes all his recent utterances
of double importance. The-following extracts from an article by bins on " The Freedom of the Seas and the Enslavement of Mankind," which appeared in the New York Tribune of Novem- ber 23rd last year, are well worth the consideration of our readers:—
"It is utterly impossible in view of the immense rapidity of the change in modern war conditions to formulate abstract policees about such matters as contraband and blockades. These policies must be actually tested in order to see how they work. Both England and the United States have reversed themselves in this matter on several different occasions. This is interesting as a matter of history, but from no other standpoint. If we are honorable and intelligent we will follow the course in this matter which under existing conditions at this time seems most likely to work justice in the immediate future."
