Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Great Britain's Sea Policy: A Reply to an American Critic, Reprinted From "the Atlantic Monthly"
To take one small but significant point first. Mr. Bullard, like most people, sees the need Of continuity in foreign policy, and the great objec tions to a system in which a new government, or even a new in?uence at court, may upset a nation's course. -but he does not see that such continuity implies some sort of compromise. A continuous foreign policy in a country governed alternately by Foxites and Northites is possible only if both parties abate their extreme preten sions. And Mr. Bullard, if l'read him aright, expects it to be continuous F ox. As a matter of fact, we have had lately a continuous foreign policy in Great Britain, because Grey, while moving always as best he could toward arbitra tion, equity, and a cordial understanding with all powers who would agree to it, was felt also to be keenly alive to his duties as the steward of a great inheritance.
