    ENGLAND'S MALIGNANT NEUTRALITY.
The application of this so-called neutrality to both the so-calledbelligerents was not designed nor was it practicable. In referringto the obligation of the neutral to furnish no assistance to eitherof the belligerents, one of the oldest and most authoritative ofinternational law writers says: "I do not say to give assista
...nceequally but to give no assistance, for it would be absurd that astate should assist at the same time two enemies. And besides itwould be impossible to do it with equality: the same things, thelike number of troops, the like quantity of arms and munitionsfurnished under different circumstances are no longer equivalentsuccors. " Assistance is not a theoretical idea; it is a plain, practical, unmistakable fact. When the United States had, at vastcost and by incredible effort, shut the Southern Confederacy fromthe sea and blockaded its ports against the entry of supplies, whenthat government had no resources within its territory by which itcould put a ship upon the ocean, or break the blockade from within, then it was that England allowed Confederate officers to camp uponher soil, organize her labor, employ her machinery, use her ports, occupy her colonial stations, almost within sight of the blockadedcoast, and to do this continuously, systematically, defiantly.
