Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Address of the President to Congress December 2, 1913

File No. 493.11/389.

The Counselor of the Department of State to the Secretary of State.

[Memorandum.]

September 18, 1913.

The crisis of 1900 is not a precedent in this instance. That was a purely anti-foreign movement, not resisted by the Government; the present crisis that of a domestic revolution. Where governments send their military and naval forces to foreign countries in case of domestic disturbances, it is not customary for them to make the expense a charge against the foreign country.
