LONDON PRESS on THE COMMISSION.

London. Aug 27 The Times" this morning
referring edtorially TO the American Peace
Commission SAYS:
The Commission is strong in personnel and
in policy and must b. taken to represent Pres-
dent McKinley's concurrence In the inclination
Of the Republican party toward policy OF
colonial expansion The nomination Of Mr.
White may he due to the Presidents resolve not
to ignore the interests and susceptibties Of the
Church Of Rome in the final settlement Of the
Philippines
IF It is true that President Mckinley Is. as
he seems to be- resolved to hold something more
than Manila. the logic Of the situation will
probably lead him in the end to the occupation
OF the whole archipelago. Moreover. bereft Of
Manila the Philippines would obviously be moth
ing but costly burden. which Spain would soon
probably attempt to relieve herself Of In
manner little acceptable to the United States.
especially looking to the immense war bill Spain
has to pay and the absolute necessity for re-
trenchment."
