realize her responsibility as a self
governing republic and to restore
peace in the island Her attention is
called in no uncertain language to the
responsibility which the United States
bears to the island. and the certainty
that such responsibility will neces-
sarily be exercised should peace not
be preserved.

the plans they had already former.

arrive that peace already has been So
cured, and therefore there is no need
for the American governments inter
vention, either to restore peace or to
insure permanent tranquility
