STATESMAN LIKE CONDUCT
The attitude of President Roosevelt
and bis administration toward Cuba in
the hour of her trial is statesmanlike
in a very high decree. In ordering
the marioes which spent a night in
front of President I 'alma's palace back
on the Denver with such promptiude.
In issuing a statement that the United
States will not take sides in the war
there, and in writing a friendly letter
to President Palma, copies of which he
has caused to be sent to the insurgent
leaders suggesting that a peaceable
settlement of the Cuban difficulties
should be arrived at. the president is
showing a commendable desire to pro
tect the integrity of Cuba, and to ob
serve the spirit of the attitude assumed
by this country toward the little island
republic in the beginning.
President Roosevelt has warned
President Palma that he will protect
American property in Cuba and that
he will protect the Cubaa people from
a condition of anarchy, even if It shall
become necessary for the United States
to land troops to do that. In so doing,
he ia but carrying out his duty as pres
cribed by the Piatt amendment. To
save any complications that might re
sult from American interference
and to do what he can to make sure of
the autonomy of Cuba, the president
urges that the war cease, and the differ
ences of the contending factions be
arranged peaceaolv.
Many ambitious rulers of strong
nations, were they in his place, would
make use of the Piatt amendment as a
pretext for taking possession of Cuba
even though tne latter country had
offered half the excuse for doing so
that has been offered President Roose
velt in the laat two weeks. We could
Imagine an Emperor William or a
Joaeph Chamberlain gobbling the.isUcd
and explaining the cause for the act
afterwards. That he has preferred to
warn the Cubans before acting, thus
showing his disposition to maintain the
yery broadest good faith toward them,
ia all to the credit of President Roose
velt.
