Representative McCrea ". chairman Of the
House committee on foreign affairs. intro
duced late yesterday afternoon a resolution
embodying the policy of the democratic
members of the committee on the subject
of Hawaii. The resolution is as follows
Resolved, first, That 1t is the sense OF this
House that the action of the United States
minister in employing United States naval
forces and illegally aiding in overthrowing
the constitutional government of the Ha-
waiian Islands in January, 1S93 and In set
ting up in its place a provisional govern
ment not republican in form and in opposi-
ton to the will of the majority Of the peo-
pie. was contrary to the traditions Of our
republic and the spirit of our Constitution.
and should be, and is, condemned.
Second, That we heartily approve the
principle announced by the President of the
United States that interference with the
domestic affairs of an Independent nation is
con trary to the spirit of American institu-
tions and 1t is further the sense of this
House that the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands to our country or the assumption
of a protectorate over them by our govern
ment is uncalled for and ineXpedient; that
the people of that country should have abb
solute freedom and independence in pursu-
ing thei: own line of policy. and that for
eign intervention in the political affairs of
the islands will not be rega -ded with indif-
ference by the government Of the United
States.
