ments was signed In single copy which

Nov. II, 1899
In signing the convention the follow
ing declaration was made by the pleni-
no%entiaries OF the United States:
ffNothing contained In this convention
shall be 40 construed as to require the
United States of America to depart from
its traditional policy of not intruding
upon. interfering with or entangling itself
in the political questions or policy or in
ternal administration of any foreign
states. nor shall anything contained IN
the said convention be construed to i'm

of America or its traditional attitude to-
ward purely American questions.
I respectfully recommend that the at
tention Of the senate be called to the i'm
portance Of immediate action being taken
on the convention in view of the fact
that a sufficient number Of ratihcations
will soon be obtained to authorize the or
ganiZation of the tribunal and the large
mart taken by the United States in the
preliminary work renders 1t desirable that
fhis country should not occupy q sec
ondary place. Respectfully submitted,

this particular young man and all the
others is that he refuses to touch a dol

world began?
There certainly was and is one such
