The, Pre.ldenr. Cuban Policy.

Chairman HIT, OF the house committee
on foreign affairs. in his speech in re-
sponse. to the Democratic attacks on the
Presidents Cuban policy. and in oppos-
Ing the belligerency resolution, which is
now so ill-tlmed. exhibited q great
amount of common sense. He called at
tention to the fact that the President
had taken the sensible stand that the
recognition of belligerency at Hh!s lime
would weigh most heavily on the Gu
bans. and this fact disclosed the spirit
that animated the Executive. With the
declaration of belllgerency the Spanish
cruisers were free beyond the three mile
limit of Cuba 10 iiarrass on the high
seas. those ships carrying supplies to
Cuba, and the Cubans themselves recog-
nized that belligerency meant the cut
ting off of aid from this country.
4 In this the President Is right. There
IS no doubt that the only desire that the
Cubans have had that a belligerency
resolution should pass Congress was that
such an act would precipitate war be-
tween the United States and Spain. The
following, from the report OF Mr.. Hits
speech, is worth considering:
Every act OF the President. said Mr..
Hit, had shown that the spirit which
animated him in his publc,utterances in
the past. He had achieved much in
few months. but he said that he, thought
It unwlse for the United States at this
time to recognize the belligerency of the
Insurgents. Mr.. Hit admonlshed the
members that national action must be
vindicated before the world, and that we
are aCtuated by no vulgar greed to rob a
ne!ghbor or TO seize property OF others.
Let US remember" said he, that we
have a faithful pilot at the helm, and
that II the ship Of state is near the rap
ids We should be patient and ready to
support him if he takes the step which
the honor and the interests OF our coun-
try may demand"
Calm and conservative advice like this
is worth q dozen Of inflammatory utter
ances designed to make partisan capital.
The sober thought Of the American peo-
pie is not for. war at the sacrifice OF the
honor of the country. They are willing
TO trust the man at the helm and will
not be inflamed by political demagogues
who are seeking partisan issue. No
such issue can, be made of the matter,
try as the leaders without an issue may
to make It so.
Mr.. Adams. of Pennsylvania, was
right when, after pointing out the con-
sistent course of the President, and the
fact that not only had oil the interests Of
Americans in Cuba been protected, but
that none were now threatened, he de-
clared that the whole question is now
nearing solution of its own weight.
Spain is at the end of her resources and
reads the handwriting on the wall"
President Mckinley and General Lee
are better friends OF Cuba and the cause
of humanity than are the demagogues
who are seeking to create partisan
issue OF the situation. not for the good of
the Cuban cause, but for political bun
combe.
