having repeatedly met without being able 10
get al any conclusion.
The following preamble and resolutions were
submitted by MIR. Thompson Of Ohio; referred
to Committee of the Whole on the State OF
the Union; and ordered TO be printed:
The settled policy Of the government has
been, since seventeen hundred and ninety-three,
to form no political relations or entanglng al
liances with any foreign nation. But since the
famous declaration in the Presidents Message
OF 1929, there appears to be manifest devia-
ton, or disposition to deviate, by the Executive
Department ofthe Government, from that well
known maxim of policy. To check such as
sumption, and all assumption, it is proper anG
fiji that the Legislative branch OF the Govern
ment should frequently recur 10 first principles,
and express their opinion as check and direc-
tory to the Executive bi anch-Theretore:
Resolrsd That it is the opinion Of this House
that the policy recognized in President Wash
ington's proclamation of 1898, repeated and
enforced by his farewell address relative to our
foreign affairs, has been, is now, and ought to
be in time to come, the settled policy OF the
Government.
Resolved, That every declaration of policy
belongs exclusively to the Legislative branch
of the Government, and unauthorized by the
Executive
Hesoiued, That no office can be created, or
officer nominated or appointed by the Execu-
tive branch without the authority OF the Con-
gress
The Panama question being the order of the
day, the House resolvepitsef into Commit
tee Of the Whole, on the Safe of the Union,
and
resumed the consideration of the resolution re-
ported by the Committee Of Foreign Affairs, as
proposed to be amended by Mr. McLane Of De-
laware and Mr. Rives Of Virginia.
Mr.. Hemphil of Pennsyly ania, and MIR. Fran
els Johnson, Of Kentucky, spoke in favor of
the original resolution; and on motion of MIR.

with leave to sit again, and the House adjourned.
