To the man In the street the treaty '
means this: Four neighbors owning ad- i
joining property meet at the home of |
one of them and confer together re- t
garding their mutual interest In a
neighborly fashion. The decision that 1
they reach is that the title of the
property of each of the four is good
and they agree not to dispute it, and
alio that they shall not trespass on the
property of each other. Should any
difference arise In the future over any
question of the title or trespass be
tween any two then all four will meet
to confer and talk It over In a friendly
manner. %
The four neighbors, having thus agreed
as to what they shall do In case of
a disagreement, further agree on what
course to take in case any outsider
attacks the title or trespasses on the
property of any one of them. Again
they agree to come together, to confer
and to discuss how bggt to aid In the
defense of their neighbor. In entering
this conference they make no pledge In
advance to act cither Jointly or sep
arately unless the result of the confer
ence commends Itself as something
that each can lawfully do and is for
the best Interest of each.
It is an agreement to respect and
to confer, but Is not an alliance.
