...necessity yield. Yet in arguing for the temporary suspension of the doctrine under the circumstances of our case we are far from advocating its abandonment. We still retain the right to protect South American States when they deserve protection; we can still preserve republican governments when they meet their honest obligations. We shall simply refuels to uphold South American States in shameless irresponsibility and wilful wrongdoing...
...supporting this doctrine of temporary suspension we not only do justice to an honest European creditor; we also greatly benefit the South American debtor. These states according to practically all authorities are exceedingly lax in meeting their financial obligations; by threatening them with the loss of part of their territory as punishment for their laxity, we should teach them national responsibility.

Such men are entitled to an intelligent verdict upon their policy. On the other hand, a poorly attended annual meeting affords no guarantee whatever of such a verdict. The men in charge of the Co-operative Society are entitled to an intelligent verdict, not only in their own interest, but above all in the interest of third persons and innocent persons whom they are morally bound...
