like the principle from which It is de-
duced, the rule Is subject to exceptions
and there are In my opinion clear and
imperative reasons why a departure
from 1t was justified and even re-
quired In the present instance, These
reasons embrace, first, our treaty
rights; second. our national interests
and safely. and third, the interests Of
collective civilization
TREATY OF 1876,
Referring TO the treaty OF 1916, by the
thirty-0fth article OF which the United
States secured the right to free and
open transit across the Isthmus Of Pan
anna, and 10 that end agreed TO guar
antee TO New Granada her rights OF
sovereignty and property over that ter
rtory, the president says;
This article IL sometimes discussed az
II the latter guarantee constituted Its
sole object and bound the United states
to protect the sovereignty OF New Gran
ada against domestic revolution. Moth
ing, however, could be more erroneous
than this supposlt'on.
ENGAGEMENT WITH NEW GRAN
ADA,
The attacks against which the United
States engaged to protect New Gran
adian sovereignty were those OF for
eign powers; but this engagement was
only a means TO the accomplishment OF
a yet more important end, The great
design OF the article was to assure the
dedication Of the isthmus to the pur'
nose OF free and unobstructed inter-
oceanic transit, the contamination OF
which would be found In an inter-
oceanic canal. 10 the accomplishment
of this object the government OF the
United States had for years directed
its diplomacy,
The president says that long before
the conclusion OF the Ea.b ierran trea.
~ the course OF events hai shown that
a canal must be built by the United
States or not at all, Nevertheless, when
the well considered agreement was re-
iected by Colombia and the revolution
ensued. one OF Colomba's first acts has
been TO invoke the Intervention OF the
United states,
~ was" continues the president.
"under these circumstances that the
United states, instead OF using its forces
10 destroy those who sought to make
the engagements Of the treaty n reality,
recognized them as the proper custo-
dams OF the sovereignty OF the lsthmus.
