Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Shelby M. Cullom of Illinos: In the Senate of the United States, Friday, April 15, 1898 The Senate having under consideration the joint resolution (S. R. 149) for the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that the Government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect - Mr. Cullom said: Mr. President: On yesterday evening I had the honor of obtaining the floor for the purpose of making some remarks upon the resolution before the Senate and upon the subject under consideration generally. I stated then, before an adjournment was taken, that on the 10th day of December, 1896, I had the honor of addressing the Senate on the joint resolution (S. R. 168) introduced by me at that time, declaring the extinction of Spanish title and the termination of Special control of the islands at the gateway of the Gulf of Mexico. On that occasion, referring to the condition of affairs then existing in Cuba, I called attention to the magnitude of the problems which even in that early day of the struggle of the Cuban patriots for independence had grown out of that condition. Those problems I then took opportunity to observe would demand solution in the early future, and I ventured the assertion that the determination of the policy to be pursued in the solution of those problems would result in the independence of Cuba and lead to the conclusion that a people with such a history and such an education as the Spanish people have must be expelled from all participation in the control of any territorial possessions on this hemisphere.
