Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The South African Republic: Speech of Hon. Richard F. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, in the Senate of the United States, Saturday, April 14, 1900 Mr. Pettigrew. I ask that my resolution may he read. The President pro tempore. The Chair lays the resolution before the Senate. The Secretary read the resolution submitted by Mr. Pettigrew February 2, 1900, as follows: Whereas from the hour of achieving their own independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other people to free themselves from European domination: Therefore, Resolved, That we watch with deep and abiding interest the heroic battle of the South African Republic against cruelty and oppression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined contest for liberty. Mr. Pettigrew. Mr. President, it is my opinion that the Senate should pass this resolution of sympathy for the people of South Africa. If we do not, it will be the first time in our history as a Republic that we have failed to express cur sympathy and interest, in emphatic terms, for any race or people whatever who were striving to maintain free institutions. We are parties to the agreement resulting from the conference at The Hague last year; and while I do not believe that America should take up the quarrels of other nations or become complicated in European controversies, it does not appear to me that the Administration has made an honest effort in good faith to comply with and carry out the terms of The Hague agreement. For that agreement provided - Title Second. - Or friendly offices and mediation. Art. 2. In case of serious dissension or of conflict, before the appeal to arms, the signatory powers agree to have recourse, as far as circumstances will permit, to the friendly offices or to the mediation of one or of several friendly powers. Art 3. Independently of this resort, the signatory powers think it to be useful that one or mere powers who have no part in the conflict may offer of their own volition, so far as circumstances may make it appropriate, their friendly offices or their mediation to the states engaged in the conflict. The right to offer these friendly offices or mediation is absolute in the powers which take no part in the conflict even during hostilities. The exercise of this right shall never be considered by either of the parties to the contest as an unfriendly act. Art. 4. The duty of a mediator consists in conciliating the opposing claims and appeasing the resentment which may have sprung up between the states engaged in the conflict. Art. 5. The duties of a mediator cease from the moment when it is officially declared by either party to the strife, or by the mediator himself, that the methods of conciliation proposed by him are not accepted.
