Republican Organ Very Frankly Dis
cusses that Startling Question.
Chicago

Since this nation began. it's policy to-
ward Cuba has not changed. Hamilton
and Jefferson. founders of our two
great schools of political thought, and
all their successors. however widely
they differed on other questions, al
ways agreed upon this.
For more than 100 years American
statesmen of all parties have looked
forward to the ultimate annexation OF
Cuba. None has denied hat our inter-
ests and safety alike demanded til.
Cuba Spain should have no other heir
than h United States.
In the courS of time we were COM
PEELED in vindication of u national
honor and in defense OF our highest in
t~erests to fight for Cuba. In that
cause thousands of our citizens gave
their lives and we spent half a billion
of our public treasure. Cuba became
ours and is ours oday by a title dis
puted by no other nation.
Ali the world holds us to the same
responsibility for Cuba's future. All
the world wonders at our negligence in
permitting Cuba today to slip about in
our hands.
The president com%prehends these
facts. His cabinet sees them. An over
whelming majority of congressman OF
OOli pal llCS IhC l. ~
in Washington or out. one public mar
of weight who does not understand
that all for which we poured out oul
blood and our treasure is In peril. Yet
the administration drifts and congress
drifts. For the first time in our history
we have no Cuban policy.
The seeds of IawIessness and war arr
planted in Cuba more thickly than il
Hayti, or Venezuela. or Nicaragua
They are ready to give forth a pesti.
lential crop. The dominant faction in
Cuba, now engaged in the task of con
stitution making, represents neither
the interests nor the desires of those
having any real stake in the island. L
is composed in part of theoretic dream.
ers, in part of men willfully blind to the
historic n geographic facts.
If left to their own devices. these mer
will tear the island loose from its
moOrings. Only by the ~thwarting OF
their plans can Cuba be saved to the
United States and civilization without
another war.
Cuba will be no friendly state. If il
come to pass, soOner or later, we shall
be called on to suppress it. either tC
keep the island from the hands of a
European power or to protect the in.
tereStS of u own citizens.
We have spent American blood an6
American money once to save Cuba.
Will the ~indecision of our statesmen &c
so far as to force us to spend them both
again?
