I Cleveland'5 Second flessage
I The president has sent a second
questine that the Venezuela hnnnrl
the English reply to Olney'e note re
ary dispute be submitted to arbi
tration. Tho British prime misister
ueciinea amitration and claims
that while the doctrines enunciated
by President Monroe were at the
time satisfactory to Great Rritinn.
yet they are generally inapplicable
to toe Btate oi tnings in which we
nve toaay, ana especially inappli
cable to the boundary line dispute
between Venezuela and Great
Bntian. The president holds this
view oi tne matter to be far from
satisfactory and maintains that "if
uie oaiance oi power is justly a
cause for iealous anxietv amontr
A 1 11 J ...
the governments of the Old World,
anu a reason tor our absolute non
interference, none the less is the ob
servance of the Monroe doctrine of
vital concern to our people and
their government." The British
ministry also holds that the dor.
trine "does not embodv anv nrinci
pie of international law. which is
founded on the general consent of
nations, and that no nation, how
ever powerful, is competent tn insprt
into the code of international law
this novel principle, never recog
nized by any other nation. The
president says that while it may
not oe admitted by bo many words
into the code, vet it ia a doctrinp
wnicn eiiects tne peace and seen-
my oi tne nation, and therefore
finds its recognition in those man
ciples of international law which
are based upon the theory that
every nation shall have its rights
protected and its just claims en-
iorcea. it is recommended that
congress provide for the appoint
ment of a commission by the ex
ecutive to examine into all the
merits of the case and reDort as
speedily as possible. When such
a report is made and accepted it will
oe me auty oi tne United states
to resist by every means in its
power, as a willful ajnrreesion unnn
it rights and interests, the appro
priation dv ureal lintain of any
land, or the exercise of govern
mental jurisdiction over any ter
ritory, which, after investigation.
we have determined of right be
longs to Venezuela. In matin?
these recommendations, I am fully
anve to tne responsibility incurred,
and keenly realize all the conse
quences that may follow. I am
nevertheless firm in my conviction
that while it is a grevious thing to
contemplate the two great English
speaking peoples of the world as
being otherwise than friendly com
petitors in the onward march of civil
ization, and strenuous and worthy
rivals in all am of peace, there is
no calamity which a grert nation
can invite which equals that which
follows supine submission to wrong
and injustice and the consequent
loss of national self-respect and
honor, beneath which is shielded
and defended the people's safety
and greatness."
