pass the house at this session of con-
gress. | do not know member Of the
house committee on foreign affairs VINO
is in favor of it, nor do | think it posi-
BILE to obtain from the house committee
any resolution of any sort a this session.
The disposition of the house committee is
to leave the mat tier to the incoming ad-
minis tration Personally, while l enter
tain the liVeliest sympathy with Cuba,
/ am opposed to the conduct of foreign
affairs by congress. l think there is
dothng more dangerous to the public
peace than the discussion in congress of
serious international controversies"
Mr.. Pearson, of North Carolina, an
other republican member of the commit
tee expressed his position in this wise:
II have no criticism or comment to make
on the action of the senate committee as
to the merits of the question of recognize
ing the independence of Cuba. 1 feel
delicacy in expressing positive opin-
ion in the absence of positive informa-
ton. Before taking so grave a step,
leading to unknown and momentous con-
SEQUENCES 1t seems to me that the infor-
nation should not only be accurate, but
official. The republican party has prom
ised the country prosperity and the ques-
ton presents itself: Will war or rumors
of war or apprehensions of war lead to
the promised result?
differing, as l do, almost wholly from
Mr. Cleveland's views and policy on most
subjects, 1 am constrained to say that
the state department, since the appoint
ment of Mr. Olney, has been ably and
wisely conducted and his foreign policy
discreet, firm conservative and success
full 1t stands out in bold contrast with
the many and various failures in the do
nestle policy of this administration, and
l do not feel that it would be exactly
right to turn over a war along with the
deficit to the incoming administration"
