HUBERT L1RKIN
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS CLASH.
Continued from Page 1

Of humanity, ordered to re-embark something
more than simple apology is needed. There is
questioning the gentlemanly department of Rear
Admiral Davis His letter to Governor Swetten-
ham proves it. Possibly he exceeded the bounds Of
international law. or courtesies. On this point we
simply quote John Westlake. who is professor of
international law at the University of Cambridge,
and who the representative of Great Britain
at the international court of arbitration at The
Hague He makes a clear statement. When asked
for his opinion he said
Il am unable to see any justification in inter
national law for the action of Governor Swetten
ham, 1t was rather informal the part of Adj
miral Davis if he did not ask for the governors
permission before landing men, but the landing of
men, though they armed. not even
technical breach of international law. as it APP
parent that there was no design to exert American
authority"
The British press seem to be unanimous in
demning the action of the governor, because it
may have wounded the susceptbilities of the Amer
leans. And why notl careful perusal Of Gov
ernor Swettenham's reply to Rear Admiral Davis
courtly letter of explanation can not fail to show,
if not hostile, at least "a mind your own sbusi-
ness spirit. This has been confirmed by his ac-
ton last October when he refused permission to
laborers to leave Jamaica to work on the Panama
canal unless certain demands made by him were
conceded. The dispatch tells the demands:
"He refused to permit the recruiting of laborers
unless five shilings per head paid to the island
government for the laborers, and also the sum Of
$500 for the agents license, After considerable
discussion the demand was granted The Governor
then insisted that the United States guarantee to
compensate the laborers for any damage or injury
they might sustain during their employment on the
canal. The demand was positively refused"
All this would indicate spirit of hostility to-
wards friendly nation by of the highest Off
cials of a rival nation. 1t unmasks the claims Of
cousinship and proves that the Governor of ia
maica would, If he dared. give more peremptory,
and insulting orders, when 'he found his duty to
ask the representatives of our government to re-
embark" The action taken by Rear Admiral Davis
in landing for the alienation of suffering human
ity. was good in law and morals and appeals to the
common sense of humanity. His letter viii raise
him in the public estimation of every loyal citizen.
There may be some who, trucking to Anglolhaniac
influence, will find fault with the Rear Admirsls
hasty action but they no part of the vox popu1
who are ever ready to maintain with strong hand
our national dignity against all arrogant and over
bearing rivals F. D.
