'EHE MONROE DOCTRINE UPHELD.
An Uneqlfxocal Statement Of the
Position Of ehf United States in the
ven1usIss Matter
WAsHTNeToN, d. c.. Dec. l7.-TLe
following message from President Cieve-
land was sent to congress today:
To the Congress.
l In my message addressed to congress
the Sd inst. called attention to the
pending boundary controversary be-
tween Great Britain and the Republic OF
Venezuels and rscited the substance Of
representation made by this govern
ment to her Britannia majesty's govern
mcot suggesting reasons why such
dispute should be submitted to arbitra-
ton for settlement and inquirinR
whether 1t would be 90 submitted.
The answer Of the British government.
which was then awaited, has since been
received and together with the dispatch
to which it is areply, ,is hereto appended.
Such reply is embodied in two COM
munications addressed by the British
prime minister to Sir Julian Pauncefote.
the British ambassador at this capital.
It will be seen that one OF these commu-
nications is devoted exclusively TO OBJ
servations upon.the Monroe doctrine and
claims that In the present instance q
new and strange extension and develop.
ment OF this doctrine il insisted on by
the United States, that the reasons JUS
tifying IN appeal to the doctrine enun-
ciated by President Monroe are generally
inapplicable ITO the state Of things ID
which we live at the present day. and
especially inapplicable u q controversy
involving the boundary line between
Great Britain and veneaula.
Without attempting extended argu
ments in reply. to these positions 1t MAJ
not be amiss to suggest that the doctrins
upon which we stand is strong an(
sound because its enforcement Is impof
tant to our peace and safety ~ . natios
