Strana 82 - But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand ; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences; consulting the natural course of things ; diffusing and diversifying, by gentle means, the streams of commerce, but forcing nothing...
Strana 90 - Britain have attempted, as intended merely to illustrate more fully the situation to which you desire to call our attention and not as an invitation to discuss that course. Your Excellency's long experience in international affairs will have suggested to you that the relations of the two Governments with one another cannot...
Strana 83 - The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name during these days that are to try men's souls. We must be impartial in thought as well as in action, must put a curb upon our sentiments as well as upon every transaction that might be construed as a preference of one party to the struggle before another.
Strana 101 - * but as far as I know it has not been answered up to this day. " No fair-minded neutral, no matter whether he favors us or not, can doubt our right to defend ourselves against this war of starvation, which is contrary to international law. No one can ask us to permit our arms of defense to be wrested from our hands. We use them, and must use them. We respect legitimate rights of neutral trade and commerce, but we have a right to expect that this will be appreciated, and that our right and our duty...

This stark, consummate might Is girt with adamantine right — The right to live beneath the sun, The right to hold what...
Strana 16 - ... what has been won By toil and science, thrift and art, In camp and farm, in school and mart — A right which still without avail Revenge and cant and greed assail. Before such prowess rage must sink, And generous minds be bold to think. Hypocrisy hath here no place; Barbarian? — that imperial race? By Heaven, yon Germany, today Holding so splendidly at bay Those variegated tribes of men, Is not a thing to hunt and pen! Enough of blind, hysteric fear, Enough of menace, vaunt, and sneer, Enough...
Strana 108 - THE submarine Deutschland, which I have the honor to command, is the first of several submarines built to the order of the Deutsche Ozean Rhederei GMBH, Bremen. She will be followed by the Bremen shortly. The idea of the building of this submarine emanated from Alfred Lohmann, then President of the Bremen Chamber of Commerce. He brought his idea in the fall of last year confidentially before a small circle...
Strana 83 - ... we have suffered incalculably from the weak and vacillating course which has been taken with regard to Mexico — a course lamentably wrong with regard to both our rights and our duties. We interfered without consistency; and while seeking to dictate when we were not concerned, we utterly failed to appreciate and discharge our plain duty to our own citizens.
Strana 96 - All subjects of the Crown are notified that the British Government will not undertake to be responsible for the safety of any British subject leaving this port on a ship of either of the belligerent nations.
Strana 16 - Staatszeitung" erschienen war, in den „N. Spr." wiederholt zu sehen. Diese begeisterte anerkennung deutschen wesens aus englischer, wenn auch nicht britischer feder mag denn nun auch hier platz finden. Das gedieht ist betitelt: "Germany, 1915.
