Excerpt from The Rights and Duties of Neutrals
It may also be said of foreign publicists, without any impeachment on their fairness, that most of them naturally take views suited to the position occupied by their own countries. They are neither able fully to enter into the belligerent needs of a state, the weight of which depends upon the stress which it can put upon its enemies by sea nor do they adequately feel the difficulties to which a country at once largely producing and maritime would be exposed if some of the more extreme theories of neutral duty were established as law.
