When the acceptance of tho Piatt

the action of tho congress of the United

treating Cub a occupying a unique po

In certain respects, to como within our
system of International policy, and It ne
ccMurtly followed that ho must a no.
to a certain decree, become Included
within the line of our economic policy.
Situated as Cuba Is. It would not be wlae
for this country to permit the strategic

tary power.
It Is for this reason certain limitations
have been Imposed upon her financial

conceded by her to the United Staled.
The negotiations as to tho detail of
these naval stations are now on tho eve
of completion. They are so situated as
to prevent any Idea that there Is the
Intention ever to use them agairut Cuba,
