The Republic" He said:
What. in principle, Is tho difference
between the assertion by congress- OF

II the latter Is a violation or the
declaration OF Independence, We have
been violating the declaration OF In

The statements in the declaration of
independence are TO be construed IN
the light OF contemporary history. III
we assume control over a people mere
ly In the spirit OF conquest and merely
TO extend our control and merely from
properly denounced as imperialists; but
II we assume control over people for
