"As military governor of the islandof Cuba and representing the presidentof the United States." he said. "I callthis convention to order. It will beyour duty first of all to frame andadopt a constitution for Cub i, andwhen- that has been done to formulatetrncit in jour opinion ought to be therelations between Cuba and the LnitedStates.
Cuba and the United States."The constitution must be adequate
to secure stable, orderly and free government. When you have formulatedthe relations which, in your opinion,ought to exist between Cuba and theUnited States the government of theUnited States will doubtless take suchaction on its part as shall lead to afinal and authoritative agreement be-tween the ieople of the two countriesto the promotion of their common interes-ts- . The fundamentaldistinction between true representativegovernment and a dictatorship is thatin the former every representative ofthe people, in whatever office, confineshimself strictly within the limits of hisdefined powers. Without iuch restraintthere cannot be free constitutionalgovernment. Under the order pursu-ant to which you have been elected andconvened you have no duty and no au-thority to take part in the present gov-ernment of the island. Your powersare strictly .limited by the terms ofthat order."
