the Sin OF april accompanying H. with similar

convention between the three P"wes relative 10 Cuba have
been among the first subjects 10 which attention has
been cBs! hy the President.
The substantial portion the proposed l.
preesad In snge a.tIce, in the following terms:
"lhe high contracting parties hereby seScaly and col

The President, has given serious attention :hs
proposal the of The British and French Ministers
accompanyng il, and instructions Uf the Earl of
Mansbury anI NJ De TuTgo transmitted with The project
of The convention, and he directs 10 make known 10 You
the view which he takes nj this important and delicate sub
lect.
The Presdvn. fully concas with his predecessors, who
have on Than occasion authorized the declaration
referred IN by Lord Mdnsbuy and NJ De Turgo' that the
United States could with Indifference the Island oi
Cuba fall the of any other European Govern
men than Spain; however because should be dis
satisfied with any natural increase territory and power
the part OF England France France has within twenty
years acquitted 1ast domain Cn the northern coast 0 AIN.
ca with fair prospect Of indefinite extension. England
within half century has addcd very extensively 10 her EN-
pre These acquisitions have created uneas!nes on the
part Of the United States
In like manner the United have within the
period gren ly increased territory The largest addition
was that of Louisiana which was purchased from France.
Th. acccs-i5ns of territory have probably caused no u
c.-incsa i great European Powers, they have been
b70uI about hy The Operation u natural causes nnd with!
ont any disturbance Of Tie international relations Of the
principal States They have been followed also b. great
increase OF mutually beneficial commercial intercourse be-
~ cen the United States md Europe.
Bat would be different in reference IN the irnns
fer of CuJa from Spain to any other European Powell
That event could not take place without serious dcanSe-
meat the International system existing, and would
ncG: dt signs IL 20 this hemisphere which could
no, but alarm in Ire United States We should
view il in Sucwhat ;h2 same glt IN when rance ana
England would Hiew the acquisition nj some important
island in the Mediterranean by the United States with this
difference is ,ruc thai The attempt OF the United States 10
establish themselves in Europe would be novelty, while
The appearance of European Power in his part Of the
world is familiar fact But this difference in Tie two eases
is merely historical, and would not diminish The anxiety
which, political grounds wou! be caused by any great
demonstration OF European power in new direction IN
America.
Lord Mlns5uy states that Great britain could never see
with Indifference the of Cubn BY any Power hu!
