trine. The only condition against which
objection could be raised was that re-
garding sanitation and he thought ic
was only proper that our country

Mr.. Jones replied that the Monroe

condition. The right Of the Unite
States to intervene in the internal af.

tantamount to assuming the right to-
turn out tie government of Cuba

Mr. Jones ther6upon modified his

that portion of the condition or sec
ton providing the rnited states could
intervene "for the maintenance of 10
government adequate for the protac
ton of life, property and individual

position was a piece of arrant hypoc
