the report of the subcommittee.

Hill, of Ohio, chairman upon the Grapo
resolution, declaring the policy of the United
States in reference to the inter-oceanc canal,
and requested him to report the same with
substitute and resolutions accompanying,
to the house, with recommendations for their
adoption. The report reviews the entire
question, and concludes "Your committee,
therefore, as all affirmation of the Monroe
doctrine, believes that Americans must rule
America, and that as notice to all the world
that the United States cherishing the friendly
spirit of all nations, will adhere to strict neu
trality in all transatlantic affairs, and expect
a like non-interference in all American
affairs, whether in the northern or southern
or western hemisphere, and that we recon-
mend the adoption in the following resolu-
ton: That the establishment of any form
of protectorate by any one of the powers of
Europe over any independent state of this
continent, or the introduction from any
quarter of scheme or policy which would
carry with it the right of any European power
to interfere with their concerns, or to control
in any other manner their destiny or trans
fer to any such power by conquest, cession or
acquisition in any other way OF any Of those
states. or any portion thereof, is measure to
which this government Is opposed, and
which, should the attempt be made, it will
regard and treat as dangerous to our peace,
prosperity and safety. That the construction
| Of any public works connecting the waters OF
| the Atlantic and Pacific by any European
government, or whether the same be con-
structed at Panama or elsewhere, would br a
violation of the spirit and letter CT the Mon
roe doctrine, and could not be sanctioned by
the government of the United States. That
should a canal be consL. ucted across the 18th
mus of Panama, or elsewhere, this govern
ment will insist that it shall not be under the
control of any European government OF
power ; that it shall be free to the commerce
of the world upon equal terms, and that NJ
discrim nation shall ever be made against tht
United States in peace or war, and that tht
president be requested to take steps necessar!
and proper for the abrogation OF any existing
treaties whose terms are in conflict with thi
declaration of principles.
