ELIHU ROOT, AS PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, AT THE FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY, IN WASHINGTON, APRIL 28, 1910 I shall ask you to listen for a few minutes to some remarks regarding the protection which a nation should extend over its citizens in foreign countries. I do not select this topic because I have anything new to say about it, or because there is any real controversy among international lawyers concerning the principles involved or concerning the fundamental rules to be applied, but because there is a considerable degree of pub- lic misunderstanding about the subject, and situa- tions are continually arising in which a failure of the public in one country or another to justly ap- preciate the extent and nature of international obligation leads to resentment and unfriendly feeling that ought to be avoided.
