and thanks the minority in congress
for seeking to secure a "just distribu.
ton OF the war tax equally upon the
wealth and corporations OF the coun try
as we'll as upon its labor"
1t endorses the Cuban war for the
purpose for which it was begun, and
calls upon congress to disclaim all in.
tentlon to exercise sovereignty ove1
that island.
The resolutions also favor building OF
