7432. RETALIATION, Humanity and.—
A uniform exercise of kindness to prisoners
on our part has been returned by as uniform
severity on the part of our enemies. * * * It is high time * * * to teach
respect to the dictates of humanity; in such a
case retaliation becomes an act of humanity.—
To Sir Guy Carleton.
