ARGUMENT OF THE UNITED STATES DELIVERED TO THE TRIBUNAL OF
ARBITRATION AT GENEVA, JUNE 15, 1872.

The right to do this unquestioned; other nations no parties to the con-
flict

Abstinence of intervention by another Power is not neutrality

It is a maintenance of previously existing relations

Other Powers have to decide in such case only whether they acquiesce
in the exercise of belligerent powers by the Sovereign..

Non-acquiescence is intervention..

Questions arising beyond territorial limits of the Sovereign should be de-

cided as they arise....

Such course secures impartiality and, when justified by results, an
equality between contending parties which resembles what is known
as neutrality when exercised between rightful belligerents

This principle recognized by United States Supreme Court

Previous instances in point.
