THE NATIONS DUTY.
President ROosevelCs Message on
the Dominican Situation.

President ROosevelt's message trans
hitting to the senate the new Dominican
protocol of an agreement providing for
the collection and disbursement by the
United States of the customs revenues of
San Domingo for the adjustment of all
the obligations of that government was
Thursday made public by order of the
senate in executive session.
The document includes the new agree
ment, as well as the original protocol and
award Of the commission of arbitration.
for the settlement of the claims of the
San Domingo Improvement Company,
under which agents of the United States
are already collecting the revenues at Ger.
tain of the ports of the Dominican gov
eminent.
Few documents that have come to the
senate in relation to many of the South
or Central American or West India re-
publics have attracted 50 much attention.
Because of the controversy that has arts
ell us to the right of the executive to en-
ter into treaty arrangement with any for
eign government without advice and con
sent of the senate, extraordinary interest
has been aroused.
The message of the president outlined
the policy of the administration i'll rell-
ton to the Monroe doctrine. holding that
it demanded this government take charge
of the customs Of American states wher
it is manifest they are unable to maintain
their own integrity.
In addition to the presidents discussion
of the Monroe dictrine in the case of
San Domingo the protocol itself makes
a SPECIFIC declaration of its application
and in that respect is unusual III treaty
making. The declaration occurs in the
second paragraph, which rectes that
the government of the United States
views any attempt on the part of gov
ernmcnts outside of this hemisphere to
Cypress the destiny of the Dominican re-
public as a manifestation of the unfriend-
ly disposition towards the United
States
