November 13. 1903.- I communicated to Mr. .Hay this morn- ing the substance of Your Lordship's telegram of the 11th instant. , "His Excellency stated in - reply,' that the United States Government, although they regretted that European powers should use force against Cen tral and South American' countries, could pots object to their taking steps to obtain redress for injuries suffered by their subjects, jrovided that no ac quisition cf territory was contemplat- I , ;-i ' : Both powers assured, us - in explicit teem that ' there was not the slightest intention on thir part to violate the principles of the Monroe Doctrine, ahd this; assurance was kept with an hon orable, good faith which merits full acknowledgement on our part. At tho same time,, the existence of hostilities In a region so near our dvn borders was fraught with such possibilities of danger in the future that it was ob viously no less our duty to ourselves than our duty to humanity, to endeav or to put an end io that. Accordingly, by an offer, of our good services In it spirit of v frank friendliness to all the parties concerned, and In a spirit which they quickly and cordially responded, we secured a resumption of peace -the contending parties agreeing that the matters which they could not settle among themselves should be referred to The Hague Tribunal for settlement. The United States had most fortunate ly already been able to set an example to iother nations by. utilizing the great possibilities for good contained In The Hague Tribunal, a question at issue between ourselves and the Republic of Mexico being the first submitted to thi:. international court of arbitration. "The terms which we have secured as those under- which the Isthmian Canal is to be built, and the course of events in: the Venezuelan matter, have shown not merely the ever growing influence of the United States in the Western Hemisphere, but also. I think I may safely say. have exemplified the firm purpose of the United States that its growth and influence and power shall redound not to the harm but to the benefit of our sister republics whose strength Is less. Our growth, therefore, is beneficial to humankind In general. We do not intend to assume any posi tion which can give Just offense to our neighbors. Our aaherenre to the rule of human right is not merely profes sion. The history of our dealings with Cuba, shows that we reduce it to per formance. ,' '' ; j The Monro Doctrine : is not Inter national law, and though I think one day it may become such, this is not necessary as long as it remains a car dinal feature of our foreign policy and as long as we possess both the will and the strength to make it effective. Tj'-Is last point, my fellow-citlzens. Is all: important, and is one which as a peo ple we can never afford to forget. ' I believe In the Monioe Doctrine with all my heart and soul; I am convinced that the Immense majority of our fellow countrymen so believe In it;- ' but . I would infinitely prefer to see usi aban don It than to see us -'put It forward and bluster about it, and yet fa II to build up the efficient fighting strength which in the last resort can alone make It respected by any strong for eign por prose Interest It may ever happen to be to violate It. j . Boasting and blustering are as ob jectionable among nations as mon individuals, and the public men- of . a great nation owe lt to theif sense of national self-respect to speak cour teously of 'foreign powers, just as a brave and self-respecting man treats all around him courteously. But though to boast Is bad. and causelessly to in sult another, worse; yet worse than all Is to be guilty of boasting, even with out insult, and when called to the proof to be unable to make such boasting good. There -is a homely old adage which runs: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick; it win go far. If the Amer ican Nation will speak .softly, 'and yet build, and keep at a pitch of the high est) training, a thoroughly " efficient Navy, the Monroe Doctrine will go far. I ask yon to think over this. If you do. you will come to the conclusion that It Is "mere, plain common sense, so ob viously sound that only the blind can fail to see Its truth and only the weak est and most Irresolute can, fail to de sire to put It into force, "Well, - In the list two yea rs lam happy to say we have . taken long strides in advance as regards our Navy. The last Congress. In addition to smaller vessels, provided nine of those formidable fighting, ships upon which the real efficiency of any Navy in war ultimately depends. It provided, moreover, for the necessary addition of officers and enlisted men to make the ships worth having. Meanwhile " the Navy Department has seen to It that our ships have been constantly exercis ed at sea, with the great guns, and In maneouvers. so that their efficiency as fighting units, both Individually and when acting together, has been steadily Improved. Remember that all of this is necessary. A war ship Is a huge bit of mechanism, 'well-night as delicate and. complicated as It is formidable. It takes years to build It. It takes years to teach the officers and men how to Co.. kum. ilv, handle It to good advantage. It Is in absolute impossibility .to Improvifie a Navy at theoutset of war. No recent war between any two nations has last ed as long as it takes to build a bat tle ship; and it is just as impossible to Improvise the officers "or the crews A to- improvise the Navy. "To lay up 'a battle ship and , only send it afloat at the outset of war, with a raw crew and untried officers, would be not merely a folly but 5 a crime, for it would Invite both disaster and disgrace. The Navy which so 4 quickly decided in -our favor the wr In 189S had been built and made ef- fic-lent durirg the preceding fifteen years.
