resent at least the fierce passion of

to serve their ends when I can. So
long at the power of recognition rests
with me the government of the Unit

hand of welcome to any one who ob
tains power in a sister republic by
treachery and violence. No perma

property rights whatever. Mistakes I
'lave no doubt made in this perplexing
insiness, hut not in purpose or ob
ject. More is involved than the immedi

lation of the United States with a
distressed and distracted people. All
America look! on. Test is now being
made of us whether we be sincere
lovers of popular liberty or not and
ttre Indeed to be trusted to respect
national sovereignity among our
weaker neighbors. We have undertak

whether we mean, or have ever meant,
to play that part for our own benefit
wholly or also for theirs. Upon the
outcome of that test (its outcome in
their minds, not ours) depends every
relationship of the United States with
Latin America, whether in politcs or
in commerce and enterprise."

Ernest Cheadle, of San Dego, Calf.,
a native of Albany, stopped for a short
