when such report is made and accepted,
1t will, in my opninion, be the duty of the
United States to resist by every means in
its power, as a wiliful aggression upon its
rights and interests, the appropriation By
Great Britain of any lands, or the exercise
OF governmental jurisdiction over any ter
ritory which, after Investigation, we have
determined OF right belong to Venezuela.
In making these recommendations I am
fully alive TO the responsibility incurred
and keenly realize all the consequences
that may follow"

The presidents message in brief declares
the Monroe doctrine to be whatever the
United States holds it to be at any time,
and that any one who infringcs thereon
will have to answer to the United States
After referring to the character of the two
from Lord Salisbury tho
president says Salisbury claims that in the
present instance new and strange extern
sion and development of the doctrine is
insisted upon by the United States, and
presents an argument to prove the same
The president says in regard to this:
"Without attempting extended argu-
ments in reply to these positions it may
not be amiss to suggest that the doctrine
upon which we stand is strong and sound
because its enforcement is important to
our peace and safety as a nation, and is
essential to the integrity of our free in
situations and the tranquil maintenance
of our distinctive form Of government. 1t
was intended to apply to every stage Of
our national life and cannot become obso-
lete while our republic endures.
If European power, by an extension of
its boundaries, takes possession of the ter
ritory of one of our neighboring republics
against its will and in derogation of its
rights, it is difficult to see why, to that
extent, such European power does not
thereby attempt to extend its system of
government to that portion Of this CONT
nent which is thus taken"
Further along the president says in re-
ply to Salisbury's contention that the
Monroe doctrine is not international law:
practically the principle for which we
contend has peculiar if not exclusive, rela-
ton to the United States. 1t may not
have been admitted in SO many words to
the code Of international law, but since,
in International councils. every nation is
entitled to the rights belonging to it, if the
enforcement Of the Monroe doctrine is
something we may justly claim. it has its
place in the code of International law as
certainly and rs surely as If it were spe-
cially mentioned"
He then states the demand made upon
Great Britain that she arbitrate the whole
question, and continues: 1T will be seen
from the correspondence herewith sub
mittcd that this proposition has been de
clined by the British government, upon
grounds which under the circumstances
seem to me to be far from satisfactory.
The course to be pursued by this govern
ment in view of the present condition
docs not appear to admit Of serious doubt. +"
Venezuela. he says, has never admitted
the claim Of Great Britain, and 1t is now
incumbent upon the United States to take
measures to determine with sufficient Ger
tainty for its justification what Is

Republic Of Venezuela and Brit

OUTLOOK Is MIGHTY wAnL1KE

Presidents Message Endorsed Everywhere
How They Feel in England.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1s-With few excep.
lions the sentiment all over the United
States is 'Arbitrate OF fight" Interviews
with congressman almost unanimously
approve the presidents position and favor
standing by the same to the arbitration
of the sword" There are a few dissidents,
but one, Cullom, thinks the message too
mild-docs not make the Monroe doctrine
sufficiently all-embracing. The absolute
or conditional dissenterS are Tillman Of
South Carolina, Elkins of West Virginia,
and Walker of Massachusetts,. Hit, proba.
bic chairman Of the committee on foreign
affairs, and Payne, of New York, possible
chairman of the ways and means commit
tee, declined to comment On the message.
Newspapers all over the country are the
Bame, or If anything more unanimous in
commentator. The only two that object
are the New York Post and The World.
The latter takes strong ground against
the position of the president and calls it a
serious blunder." Resolutions adopted
by Union and Confederate veterans offer
:ng their services in case OF war have been
received, while the Cleveland chamber of
commerce has adopted resolutions approx
ing the stand taken. William L. Whit
ney and Governor Mckinley are quoted as
indorsing the message.
kilograms from London show that tho
British press is equally unanimous in de-
manning that England ''stand to her
guns" The sentiment over there is voiced
fairly by The Times, which says: 'Does
President Cleveland seriously think that
we can admit the proposition that the
frontiers Of European colonies in the two
Americas are to be held at the good pleas
ure of n committee Of Washington gentle
men? What would the United States have
said in 1913 if we, as an American power,
had advanced the claim, based on this
principle, oprotect Mexico from wanton-
ly aggressive war by which President
Clcveland's predecessors settled the Texan
boundary dsputeP'
The Times in another article says:
Convinced as we are that rupture be.
tween the two great English-speaking
communities would be calamity not
only to themselves but to the civilized
world, we are nevertheless driven to the
conclusion that the concessions this coun-
try is SO impcriously summoned to make
are such as 40 self-respecting nation, least
of all one ruling an empire that has its
roots in every quarter of the globe, could
possibly submit to. The United States
themselves would never for n moment
dream of yielding to this kind of dicta-
ton. We are of the same blood and shall
not be less careful of our national honor,
1--WE desire to speak with all proper re-
serve, but We can confidently predict that
Great Britain will not admit the prcten-
sions put forward by President Cleveland.
No commission appointed by a power
which is not Il party to the dispute will be
recognized by us as having a title of any
sort to pronounce upon boundary ques-
ton. 1t will receive no assistance from
British authorities. Its decision will be
null and void from the outset"
