"Attain, in proportion as there Is a correct sensing by each nation of what la actually Its own aelf-lnter-est. the hope' of constructive accom plishment In Internatlonsl negotia tions la advanced. In general, an International nego tiation results In a compromise, the term of which are. In effect, dic tated chiefly by balanced considera tion of domestic public sentiments.
