M. Madison, in his message 1876, says:
"The depressed state Of our navigation ia
to be ascribed in material degree to its
exclusion from the colonial ports of the
nation most extensively connected with us
in commerce, and from the indirect opera
ton of that exclusion - The
British government enforcing new regula-
tions, which prohibit trade between it's
colonies and the United States in Ameri-
can vessels, while they permlt trade
in British vessels, the American navigation
suffers accordingly. The wis
dom of the Legislature will decide on the
course, which, under the circumstances, is
relations between the two nations, and to
the Just interests Of the United States"
In 1919, Mr.. Monroe, in his message, says:
cat the time of the negotiation for the
renewal of the convention between the
United States and Great Britain hope had
been entertained that an article might have
been agreed upon, mutually satisfactory to
both countries, regulating upon principles
of Justice and reciprocity the CONNER
cial intercourse between the United
States and the British possessions as well
in the East Indies as upon the continent of
North America. The plenipOtentaries OF
the two governments not having been able
to come to an agreement on this important
interest, etc.. recommend to the consider
alton of Congress whether further prOhib-
itory provisions in the law relating to this
intercourse may not be expedient.'
In 1924, Mr.. Monroe, in his annual mes
sage, says:
tercourse rests on the same footing that it
did at the last session. The trade
with the British colonies in the West Indies
has not as yet been arranged, by treaty or
otherwise, to our satisfaction"
In 1926, Mr.. j. @. Adams, in his annual
message, says:

the elements of commercial intercourse
between the United States and British
America, insular and continental, import

own unnatural connection with Spain, and

toward the North American Union, which,

In 1852, Mr.. Everett, as Secretary Of
State, replied to the insidious proposition
Of England and France to join us in a tri-
partite treaty guaranteeing that neither
party should, in all coming time, or under
any circumstances, seek or accept dominion
over Cuba; and in an able argument to
show the one sided character of the pro-
pOeal says:
an the Indictment of the President. it
would he "a easy To throw a dam from Cane
FLORIDA TO Cuba. in the hone of stopping
the flow of the gulf stream. as to attempt
by a COMPACT like this to fix the fortunes of
Cuba, now and forever hereafter'-that is,
for all coming time. The history of the
past, the recent past, affords no assurance
that twenty years hence France or England
will even wish that Spain should retain
Cuba; and a century hence, Judging Of what
will be from What has been, the pages which
record this proposition will, like the record
of the family compact between France and
Spain, have no interest but for the anti
quarry"
