American Cases
The American precedents arc ho

the report says: THE question of ,rt.s
vention began in 1917. The Spanish o.,
ernm Mt appealed to European powers 81,
aid. The car openly took sides with
Spain. In 1917 the Russian governmor
instructed its ambassador in London to
press on the British government tbo
great Importance of European interven.
ton. President Monroe decided as early
as April, 1918, to discourage European me-
diation. In August he made a formal Dro-
posal to the British and French govern
ments for a concerted and contemporary
recognition of Buenos Ayres, which by
the de facto independence made that
country the natural object of first step
towards the establishment of a general
policy. In December he notified both gov
ernments that he had patiently waited
without interfering in the policy of the
allies, but as they had not agreed upon
anything, and as the fact of the indie
pendence of Buenos Ayres appeared es-
tablished, he thought that recognition
was necessary. In January, 1873, ne an
nounced to them that he would actually
consider this measure. To this all par
ties had agreed as early as 1917 and 1918
tween Spain and her colonies, both the
United States and Europe asserted the
time had come, SO they disagreed only
as to the mode.
When President Monroe interposed TINS
fiat, that no interference could be coun-
tenanced by him except upon the basis
of independence, he dictated in advance
the only mode of intervention winch h0
meant to permit. If he waited Deioio
carrying it out, it was only because III

American power he felt that Isolated az
