Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Courts of Arbitration In November, 1864, I had, at the request of General Banks, a long interview with Mr. Lincoln in which he questioned me, then lately returned from Europe, largely about trans-atlantic affairs. The Mexican Empire he ridiculed and said that he con sidered it a pasteboard concern on which we won' t waste a man nor a dollar. It will soon tumble to pieces and maybe, bring the other down with it.' In speaking of England, I suggested an arbitration court as possible at a future day. He thought it a very amiable idea, but not possible just now as the millennium is still a long way But he added: There is no possible risk of a quarrel with England as we have enough on our hands. One quarrel is enough for a nation or a man at a time.' As to the proposed court of arbitration he said Start your idea. It may make its way in time as it is a good one.' On arriving in Lon don, December esth, 64, I spoke of it to several friends, but found no one to treat it other than as a conceit of a well-meaning, weak-minded enthusiast, except Mr. Cobden to whom I wrote as he was out of town. From him I received more than one kind letter, and it was stated in the New York Tribune in a letter from Paris, though he never said so to me, that but for his untimely death, he would have brought the subject before the House of Commons.
