en 1922 Eugene Irving McCormac The "Polk Doctrine" and Minor Diplomatic Questions James K. Polk: A Political Biography https://archive.org/details/jameskpolkpoliti00mcco/ Berkeley, Cali. w:University of California Press 857085372 698–699 https://archive.org/details/jameskpolkpoliti00mcco/page/699/ Moreover, Polk's announcement regarding Yucatan was quite in line with that of his predecessors with respect to Cuba, and the degree of importance does not affect the principle involved. For example, when Secretary Clay, by order of President Adams, notified France and other powers that we could not consent to the occupation of Cuba and Porto Rico "by any other European power than Spain under any contingency whatever,"¹⁸ he was thinking of the transfer per se and of the effect upon the United States, and not of the wishes of the Cubans.
