MINORITY VIEW ON
 ISLE OF PINES CASE
They Hold That Americans On the Island Were Justified In Investing
 By Language of Treaty.

Washington, February 12.-The Senate In executive session today made public the majority and minority reports from the committee on foreign relations on the treaty ceding to Cuba the title of the Isle of Pines. The majority view is sub stantally as given in the majority re- port has already been published. The mi nority report which is signed by Senator's Morgan and w. A. Clark upholds the contention of Americans, who have in vested on the island, that they were war ranted in doing so by the language of the Platt amendment and the Cuban consti- tuition. as we'll as early announcements made by Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn that the title was vested in the United States by the treaty of Paris. The minority report wills that if the is- land is turned over to Cuba. it will be unsafe to leave Americans there. for if they were maltreated this government would be compelled to protect them. It is stated that from the hour this gov- ernment again sent soldiers to Cuba the destiny of that republic would be that of Ireland or Egypt and the republic would disappear.
 Senator Morgan. who drafted the re- port contends that the adjustment of ti- tie in fact amounts to a sale, which Congress alone is empowered to make. In that respect the report says:
 "rhe treaty now under consideration has become proceeding against our own people in a more pronounced sense than it can be regarded as a means of doing jus tice to Cuba, and in the changed condi- tions that are extremely difficult and em- barrassng, if not dangerous to all con cerned, it is safer. wiser and more just to submit our present differences with Cuba to arbitration. It is still better that Congress should settle the question of tl- tie by law and make provision for talk ing proper care of the people and the interests of both governments, whether we retain the title or concede 1t to Cuba The Platt amendment is not broad enough to cover the present situation. and the treaty making power cannot make It broader without the action of Congress"
