Schomberg linein Venezuela should be submit td to arbitration The reference to Cuba is infinitely more Injudicious It l3Fvirtually an expression of sympathy wvith fllibusterers i The Times The Times editorially rays President Presi-dent Cleveland has drawn a startling picture of the difficulties created by the vicious currency system and wo Should be greatly surprised if the plans he suggested are not warmly < welcometl by the business men throughout the states But flushed by electoral victories vic-tories it is probable enough that the Republicans will refuse to allow anything any-thing to be done in the direction indicated indi-cated Meanwhile the remainder of the message especially as to foreign relations will give the impression that he is marking time Nothing he saiya commits him to a new or aggressive policy whilst it will task the ingenuity of his opponenfs to make out that he has in any way compromised the dignity dig-nity or been careless of the interests of his own country The Dally Sewn The Daily News the Liberal organ will say President Cleveland Knows better than to treat the Monroe doctrine doc-trine as if it were a rule of international interna-tional law It is neither dignified nr politic for the administration at Washington Wash-ington to take up the quarrels of South American communities which do not observe the usages of civilized nations t America will find some day that this sort of patronage involves a corresponding corre-sponding responsibility and they will not like that at all The Standard The Standardthc Conservative organ says We cannot but regret the tone of President Clevelands reference to Venezuela If we may Judge of the jtone and substance of Mr Obeys dispatch dis-patch from the paraphrase thug imparted im-parted to Congress we are not surprised sur-prised that no answer has been received re-ceived and we further undertake to predict that when the reply reaches 1 the White house it will furnish the I president with a deal of matter for serious reflection We must be pardoned par-doned if we venture to say that the whole passage referring to Venezuela is a tissue of unreal assumptions and unsupported deductions If the Americans Amer-icans desire to carry out the views thus expressed they will do so after due calculation of the cost Even if we I were eager for arbitration the expert once of the Bering sea controversy I would hardly encourage us It is nol I easy to argue calmly when we find that president Cleveland has already prejudiced preju-diced the merits of the dispute But even strong states have rights and though Great Britain Is able to maintain main-tain its dignity and interest it ought not to be a mark for public affront in a presidential message We are much impressed with the currency proposals He suggests a palliative pal-liative and not a cure The Post The Post Conservative says As regards Samoa and Venezuela the message mes-sage seems to be framed on lines which Senator Chandler might approve In regards to Cuba there are similar suggestions of a disposition to conciliate concili-ate the feelings of popular agitators These things are incidents of every presidential campaign and President Cleveland never pretends to be superior to them The Chronicle An editorial in the Chronicle says It is very doubtful if Congress will accept President Clevelands currency plan The message sounds cautious but there is a welcome note in the direction of free trade The reference to Armenia must be regarded as the definite adherence to the United States to European concert Few honest critics crit-ics can say anything against President Clevelands relerences to Venezuela We agree with him that the boundary dispute dis-pute is eminently suited to arbitration and undoubtedly our government will take the same view It must be remembered re-membered that this question is quite distinct from that of the reparation due us by Venezuela for injuries When such reparation is made every Liberal in this country will acquiesce in President Presi-dent Clevelands doctrine Our bands are full enough without increasing our burdens in America but especially at the risk of creating a serious strain between ourselves and the one great power whose friendship is more valuable valua-ble to us than all of the others put together to-gether i The Chronicle concludes Its editorial by asking whether America is ready to undertake the responsibility thus incurred for the faithful discharge of their obligations by the American republics re-publics |
