From the Dominican Republic, for- merly oceupied like Haiti, but now re- leased under a heavy American bond issue, and from Mexico as joint spon- sor, came the following: “No state may in the future directly or indirect- ly, nor by reason of any motive, oc- | cupy even temporarily any portion of | the territory of another state. The consent given to the occupying state by the state occupied will not legit- imatize the occupation, and the occu- pant will be responsible for all oc- currences resulting from the occupa- tion not only with respect to the state oecupied, but to third parties as well.” No Action. Paraguay proposed: “That inter- vention or any act of a state within | the territory of another state without |2 previous declaration of war, with | the intent to decide by force, material |pressure or moral coercion, internal }or external questions of the other |state, will be considered as a viola- tion of international law.” In its report the Commission said that it did not act on some of these proposals because they seemed to be “manifestations of a means of obtain- ing the Commission’s views regard- ing pending American political ques- tions.” That these pending political ques- tions of American conquest in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama _ will be brought up at Havana is the spectre before the eyes of Hughes, Fletcher, Morrow and their associates. Presi- dent Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg may go to Havana to overawe the as- semblage at the start. They propose that Latin America forget its past indignation and accept the overlord- ship of the Washington government henceforth as a matter of course.
