The exact character ef the un derstanding' is a matter of unofficial I report only. We may assume for prea i ent purposes that assurances have bean given by one or both of the Govern ments now undertaking to coerce Ven ezuela that In no event will their op erations in that ..Quarter proceed to the permanent acquisition of South American territory, continental or Sn- sular. : - v. . ; Up to that point,- namely, the at tempted !or contemplated acquisition of . territory, the Monroe Doctrine Is not concerned with the situation in Venezuela.' In resorting to - drastic methods for the collection of Just debts from a pertinaciously evasive delin quent, or for the protection of Ger man or British subject in. their Inter national rights, tbe.j two Governments are doing what We ourselves would do under similar circumstances. Indeed, they are doing what the United States Government has done in South Amer ica. i , ' . . !. f The first annual message of Presi dent Buchanan, In 1857, recited certain claims and complaints which this Gov ernment had against the Republic of Paraguay, or, rather, against the Die tator Francia and his successor, Lo pez. Citizen of the United .States established in; business in -Paraguay had , been despoiled of their property and treated in an arbitrary and In suiting manner by the local author! ties. Lopez had refused on frtvilous pretexts to sign tie treaty negotiated oetween Paraguay- and the United States. A United States vesseL the Water Witch, had been fired upon from a Paraguayan fart while ascending the Parana river on a scientific and entire ly' peaceful errand. President Bucban an accordingly informed the Congress that the behavior of the South -Amer ican Republic was such as to call for a demonstration of force on our part. Hs said in his message: - "A demand for these purposes sa tsiation andredresa win be made In a firm but conciliatory spirit. This will the more-probably be. granted If the Executive shall have authority to use other means in the event of a refusal. This is accordingly recommended. Congress responded with , a ; Joint resolution, that of June 2, 1858, author izmg ne lTresident Tto adopt suca measures an3 use such force as, in his judgment, may be,neeessary and ad visable in the event 'of a, refusal of Just satisfaction by the Government cf Paraguay. Congress also made an appropriation; to defray, the expenses of ,a commission to Asuncion, should Mr. Buchanan deem It proper to ap point jone "fof the, adjustment' of dif ficulties" with thefSoutti American Re public. , l f,' . .:., Using the power thus lawfully ac quired, tJucnanan sent down - both a Commissioner: and a fleet.; The .Com missioner was the Hon. James B. Bow- Un. of Missouri, who had gained as M Inister at Bogota, some experience with JSouth American Republics. The fleet was a powerful one for those times. lin, as the President1 politely put; It afterward, who fin, three weeks ably and successfully, accomplished, all the objects of bis mission. Congress em powered .Buchanan to use force " if necessary. Shubrick went out prepar ed to use force. He might have seized Lopez's war vessels If Lopez had pos sessed any; .he- might' have landed troops and taken command of Lopez's IH OREGON!

The details of this procedure may be strikingly dif ferent from those that mleht have been witnessed in the case of tb United States and Paraguay, but ' the principle of action is the same. Let this fact be obscured in- no American mind by a, perversion or misaDrehen- sion of contemporaneous occurrences at La Guayra and thereabouts. How can we deny or even begrudge to these two European powers ' the legitimate and . customary process of redress to which we ourselves resorted under sim ilar provocation during the administra tion of James Buchanan?, 1 ; - How can we do thee unless we make ourselves directly ; responsible, to all the other great powers of the earth for every deed or misdeed of every -resiqent, dictator, usurper or eeneral issimo exercising authority in fiouth America in a manner that infringes upon me rights of the resident sub jects of any European power?

The Paraguayan Castro, of that day had supposed that the dif ficulty of getting at him In his cap! tit thousand miles or more up stream. practically insured him againn" chas tisement. In January, 1859, Commodore Shubrick had taken his entire fleet as far up the Parana river as Rosario, ndihad ascended the rest of the way to Asuncion on the steamer Fulton, accompanied by, the , Water Witch. Commissioner Bowlin had not much trouble in bringing' Dictator Lopes to erma. .President. Buchanan was able to report In his message of December, 1859: ' It affords me much satisfaction to Inform you that all difficulties with the Republic of Paraguay have been satis factorily udjusted. It happily did not become necessary to employ the force for this purpose which Congress , ' had placed at my command under the Joint resolution of the 2d of June, 1358.
