Causes of discord existed, great questions re. | inained unsettled, dangerous passions remained untamed, and time brought changes and dangers which baffled the foresight of lite wisest While hoping for the best from the \ Czar's efforts to limit armaments, I and gladly gleaning from his" proposals whatever good they might be made to yield, the British peop c were not to forget that the main prop of peace was still the danger and cost of war, and that they would be wanting in their duty to the world no less than to themselves if they failed to secure their position by their own strength.
