Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Venezuelan Question and the Monroe Doctrine: A Lecture Delivered in Response to an Invitation of the Literary Societies of the University of Wisconsin, January 10, 1896 Ladies and Gentlemen of the Literary Societies: I take pleasure in complying with your invitation to speak to you upon the Venezuelan Question, though I should hardly venture to do so if I were not confident that it could be presented without impropriety, even though Commissioners have been appointed by President Cleveland to examine and report upon the whole subject. It will not be my purpose to advance opinions so much as to place before you such elements of the question as will enable you to read intelligently those accounts in the newspapers and journals which will necessarily come to your attention within the next few weeks or months. After describing briefly the region involved, it will be natural to present, as best I can, the crucial points in the Venezuelan claim; also those in the claim of Great Britain, and then to consider the relation to these claims of what we know as the Monroe Doctrine. It is a very interesting fact that the country in question is the very first part of the American continent that fell under the eye of Christopher Columbus. In the course of his third voyage, in the last days of July, 1498, having been driven, as he says in his own narrative, by the intolerable heat, under the equator, to a northwesterly course, he came in sight of land.
