catastrophe which every lover of the
republic is interested TO avert.
Going to international questions the
president said: "Our platform of 1896
declared The Hawaiian islands should
be controlled by the United States
and no foreign power should be per-
mitted to interfere with them This
purpose has been fully accomplished
by annexation, and delegates from
those beautiful islands participated In
the convention for which you speak
today. In the great conference of ma
lions at The Hague we reaffirmed be-
fore the world the Monroe doctrine
and our adherence to it and our de-
term lnation not to participate in the
complications of Europe. We have
happily ended the European alliance
in Samoa, securing to ourselves one of
the most valuable harbors in the
Pacific ocean, while the open door in
China gives to us fair and equal COM
petition in the vast trade of the
Orient. Some things have happened
which were not promised. A Just war
has been waged for humanity and with
1t have come new problems and re
sponsibilities. Spain has been elected
from the western hemisphere and our
flag floats over her former territory.
Cuba has been liberated and our
guarantees to her people will be sacred
ly executed. A beneficent govern
ment has been provided for Porto
Rico. The Philippines are ours and
American authority must be supreme
throughout the archipelago. There will
be amnesty broad and liberal but no
abatement of our rights, no abandon
ment of our duty. There must be no
scuttle policy. We will fulfill in the
Philippines the obligations imposed by
the triumphs of our arms and by the
treaty of peace; by international law;
by the nations sense of honor; and.
more than all, by the rights, interests
and conditions of the Philippine peo-
pies themselves. No outside interior
ence blocks the way to peace and
stable government. The obstruction
lists are here not elsewhere. They may
postpone, but they cannot 1es-at the
realization of the high pul pose of this
nation to restore order to the islands
and to establish a just and generous
government, in which the inhabitants
Shall have the largest participation
for which they are capable. The or
ganized forces which have been mis-
led into rebellion have been dispersed
by cur faithful soldiers and sailors,
and the people of the islands, delivered
from anarchy, pillage and oppression,
recognize American sovereignty as the
symbol and pledge of peace, justice
law. religious freedom, education. the
security of life and property, and the
welfare and prosperity of their sew
eral communities.
we reaSsert the early principle OF
the republican party sustained by un
broken judicial presidents, that the
representatives of the people in con-
gress assembled, have full legislative
power over territory belonging to the
United States subject to the funda-
mental safeguards of liberty justice
and personal rights, and are vested
with ample authority to act for the
highest interests of our nation and
the people entrusted to it's care. This
doctrine, first proclaimed in the Cause
of freedom, will never be use II a. q
weapon for oppression am glad to be
assured by you that what we have done
in the far east has the approval of the
country.
The sudden and terrible crisis In
China calls for the gravest cousidera-
ton and you will not expect from me
now any further expression THAI to
say that my best efforts shall be
given to the imme diate purpose OF
protecting the lives of our citizens who
are in peril, with the ultimate object
OF the peace and welfare of China, the
safeguarding of eli our treaty rights
and the maintenance of those prlnci-
pies of impartial intercourse to v h'ch
the civilized world is pledged.
Il cannot conclude without congrat-
ulating my countrymen upon the
strong national sentiment which finds
expression in every part of our COM
mon country and the increased re-
spect with which the American name
is greeted throughout the world. We
have been moving in untried paths,
but our steps have been guided by
honor and duty. No blow has been
struck except for liberty ana humanity
and none will be-"
