Diplomatic Relations Remain Unbroken

"Now then, in this matter of interional relations, not only where diplomatic relations remain unbroken, but even in times of war, there are rules governing the con-duet of one nation towards its enemies it must afford protection lurider certain circumstances. True Ipatriots, then, will do well to bear these things in mind and take no faction that will disturb foreign reations. Therefore, whatever patrio-jo movements do not violate inter-ational treaties and are not in-[fractions of our own laws, these will, naturally, receive the protection of the authorities. They will be aided. But if they go beyond due limits and fare outside of righteous laws, or if blackguards take advantage of them to do evil, fabricating rumours, jand starting violence, ruining the fair name of our country and brit ing ill to us all, I, the Governor will [proceed with them to the full limit Jof the law, pardoning none. Let alli take due notice."
