Mon. { Mr. Sergeant in the chair, on the
report of the Com 'nittee on Foreign Rela-
;ion.. Recommending the recognition of tho
South American PROVINCES, and proposing
an appropriation to carry the came into eff.
feet.
The resolutions with which the report
concludes are follow:
Resolved, That the House of Representa-
lives concur in the opinion expressed by the
presidenr, in bis message the Sth OF March,
1922, that the American provinces of Spain,
which have declared their Independence and
are IN the njoy nent of it, ought TO be recog
rized by ths United States as ind ependent
siRtlons-
Resolved, That the COMMITTEES of Ways
aod Means be instructed 10 report q bill
aPpropriating sum, not exceeding one hun
dred thon.and dollars, to enable the Presi-
dent of the United States to give due effect
60 such recognition.
Mr.. Trim5ie, Mr.. PoinSett, Mr.. Rhsa,
Mr.. NELSON of We. in succession, delivered
their sentiments, the two frat at cou.idera.
BILE length, generally in favor of the PROPOSE
.ions before the House.
These speeches being of greater length
than could be published TO day, are neces.a-
rily deferred.
The committee then rose, reported to the
house their agree ment to these resolutions.
The question bei3g about to be put on a.
greeting TO the first resoiu,iop-
Mr.. Tucker d Va. objected 10 the phrase.
ology of the resolution, and proposed TO substi-
tute the word ''nations" for "provinces, ;"
where it occurs.
Some other member mentioned the word
governments as proper, and MIR. Tucker
SO varied his motion.
Mr., RGsScH had no particular partially,
he sail, for the phraseoIogy of the resolution.
but he objected rs the word governments,
because, according TO our system, the word
egovsrnmenr is different in meaning from
the word nation He would not him. self
acknowledge any nation TO have free and
independent government which is not a gov.
eminent of the people.
After some further conversation in which
Mes,rs WoOI, FIigat, Rhea, 7ucker, and
H. Nelson, bore part, Mir. Tucker varied his
motion so as to make the resolve read, &c the
late American Provinces of Spain," which
amendment was agreed to.
