"We will not give these people back to
Spain. Indeed, she could not reconquer
them If we let her alone. We will set
them on their feet; we will support them
in the exercises Of self-goyernment If in
the future it shall be found necessary we
will call other civilized and Christian
nations into cur counsel and invite their
CO. operation. But we will not annex
them to our Union; we will not treat
them as booty. and we will not govern
them Us ssrfs
my opinion is that if the United
States acquire the Philippine islands to
govern thsln as a subject or vassal state.
