To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The political importance of extending American jurisdiction over the islands is not to be overlooked. The Caribbean is within the pe- culiar sphere of influence of the United States, especially since the completion of the Panama Canal, and the possibility of a change of sovereignty of any of the islands now under foreign jurisdiction is of grave concern to the United States. Moreover, the Monroe doctrine, a settled national policy of the United States, would have caused this countr}^ to look wi...th disfavor upon the transfer of sovereignty of the Danish West Indies to any other European nation. In view of these considerations, the treat}^ of cession of these is- lands to the United States is a matter of no small moment to this country. I do not hesitate, therefore, to recommend that the Con- gress be urged to take action during the present session to enable this Government to discharge its conventional obligation to Denmark by the pavment to the Government of Denmark of the sum of $25, - 000.
