There would have been today a kindly attitude between Spain mid the United States and her South American daughters. There would have been the salvation of millions and millions of money to this country now expended to our loss. There would have )een an exemption to us of the complications that lave been brought upon us by our possession of the Philippine Islands. involving the Asiatic problem. I say to the amle Senator that all of the complications of this day. in my judgment. now irritating the United States would have been saved America had that .var with Spain been avoided. for I charge that all that we are now suffering from in this hour of confusion and prospective danger is the direct result of the diliculties into which we were hurled by those precipitous discussions. untimely. unljust. unfair. and destructive of the prospect of peace. which America could have enforced under President McKinley and his beilign inlluence had lie been but pemiitted to do that then by his own partywhich the Democracy now asks that Wilson be permitted to do under time leadership of his partyto execute his duty within the Constitution unhampered by those agencies or legislative bodies wherein they aie not called upon by law to intrude. My eminent friend says that here is an exhibition of subserviecy on tlhe part of the Senate.
