declaration Of Policy and Resolutions
Adopted at Washington.
WASHINGTON, March AT a caucus
of the democratic members OF the
house of Representative the following
declaration of policy and resolutions
as to the Philippines We're adopted by
u practically unanimous vote:
We hold that the constitution of the
United States WAS ordained for an lntelll'
gent, liberty-l loving and self-goVernihg
people, and can not be successfully applleu
to a people of different virtues and condi:
lions. We therefore hold that's colonial
policy Is contrary to the theory OF our gov
ernment and subversive OF those prln'
ciples OF civil liberty which we have been
taught to cherish. We believe, with the
declaration of independence, that all gov
ernments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed, and we are
unalterably opposed to the establishment
of any government by the United states
governed, and in conformity with these
principles we Instruct the minority mem
bers Of the foreign affairs committee to
introduce and urge the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the United States here,
by disclaim any disposition or lntentlon 10
exercise permanent sovereignty, Jurlsdic"
ton or control over the Philippine islands,
and assert their determination. when an
independent government shall have been
erected therein, to transfer to said govern
ment, upon terms which shall be reason
able and Just. all rights secured under the
cession by Spain. and thereupon leave tbs
government and control Of the islands to
their people.
Another resolution. by Mr.. Griggs,
of Georgia. was adopted, as follows:
We, the democratic members Of the house
of representatives, in caucus assembled
commend the signal loyalty and valor OF
our soldiers and sailors in the performance
of every military duty to which they have
been assigned by proper authority. how:
ever much we may deplore the policy OF
the administration now directing their
movements. and we pledge to them our
hearty support and sympathy under all
circumstances wherever engaged.
