...merchants of both countries should have nine months to settle their affairs and leave. Those nine months have now expired. No one, if he remembers the destruction of American property on the high seas, can say that we are grabbing what we can from a defence-less enemy. The argument that their industries should not be returned until this property is paid for is certainly convincing...
