HALE'S MEMORANDUM
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Senator
Hale presented to the senate a mem
orandum on the recognition Of foreign
governments and foreign states by the
government Of the United States from
1879 to 1897. Assuming that the recogni-
ton of the Spanish-American repub-
lies by the United States and England
may be taken as typical, the conclusions
reached are:
First-Definite independence cannot
be held to be established and recogni-
ton is consequently not legitimate so
long as substantial struggle is being
maintained by the formerly sovereign
state for the recovery of its authority,
and
Second-A mere pretension on the part
Of the formerly sovereign state. or a
struggle SO inadequate as to offer no
reasonable ground for supposing that
success may ultimately be obtained, is
not enough to keep alive the rights of
the state and to prevent foreign couH-
tries from falling under an obligation
