like Cuba and Porto Rico, which are in
American waters, these islands are in

miles distant from Washington and more
than 5000 from our Pacific coast.
z. II would be a bad investment.
Even If paid 500, ,0OO, 900 to retain the
Philippines, 1t would cost US infinitely
more than We should ever get out Of 1t
to keep this elephant OF 1000, 900 AsiAtic
oaroarians on the other side OF the globe.
s. We shall have more than trouble
enough without them. That we are to
have Hawaii, Porto Rico and Cuba on
our hands ls the strongest possible reas-
on Why We should not break our back
with tae Philippines.
Tosolve che problem of governing on
American principles our new possessions
and dependencies apart from the Phil

OF the Constitution. These three un-
precedented problems will give our Pres
