New the first theory holds that the recognizing nation need only be satisfied that the petitioning government possesses the essential characteristics of a state, namely that it is the sovereign power in a free and independent nation, and that it is willing and able to fulfill its international obligations. These are the only justifiable conditions, which may be imposed upon a nation asking for recognition, and when a state fulfills them, recognition naturally and automatically follows...
...dust in which it works; but the account of Professor Reisner's discoveries just made public by the University, tells a romantic story. Here is a subject ready to the hand of a sentimental philosopher--the story of an ancient race, long ruling the Upper Nile, and once sovereign over all Egypt, now laid bare in its decay by the spade of scientific investigation...

They are saying now, "We will concede this, we will grant that: but the institution of private property, or of a sovereign state, or of centralized government, must not be touched." They cheek with the blighting hand of Expediency the clear-cut stroke of Justice. They may be Statesmen, but they can never be thinkers. They may follow: but they never lead.
