"When a government by the people came into power in Eurasia the
President called our Legations home and dismissed the foreign
Ambassadors and Ministers and notified every Government that we had
dealings with that in the future the Government of Eurasia would
communicate with them by mail and telegraph and would publish in the
National Gazette of Eurasia all correspondence that passed between them,
so that the people of both countries should know the character of the
men to whom they had entrusted the management of foreign affairs. We do
not interfere in the affairs of other countries, but try to promote
peace and good will among all nations. We have enforced a law that met
with bitter opposition in England and the United States of America and
brought us to the verge of war, but the common sense of the working men
and women in both countries forced their Government to yield and it has
proved a blessing to the sailors. The law commands that if a sailor on
any vessel that comes into Eurasian ports, no matter what flag she
flies, makes a complaint of ill-usage, the party complained against
shall be arrested and tried and if found guilty sent to prison for the
term of years corresponding to the offense.
