not be so false to all of the traditions
that have made it the force that it ia as
to deliberately forfeit an unsought OPP
portunity to assume the position which
the occupation of the Philippines would
give it, when by so doing it would bene-
fit the world as much as it would bene-
fit itself.
This is all strong, says the Dallas
News, far stronger that the recitation
of wornout sentimental traditions. But
it would require a great deal of space
to cite all the sound reasons for hold =
ing the Philippines.

What Shall We Do With Them?
Hartford Courant,


The point of difficulty in the Dego
tiations will be reached when the ques
ton Of the Philippines is reached
danger, too. Six months ago not one
American, in public life or in private
life, had so much as thought of those
remote islands as a possible American
possession. Even now we do not be-
lieve that many of our people really
covet the islands for their own sake
as desirable addition to our national
territory. But a great many Americ-
ans feel that there should be some
thing to show in that
part of the world for Dewey's brill
liant victory and Merritt's costly expe-
dition. There is q sentiment in them
which responds to the sentimental say
ing about the flag staying up where it
has once gone up. They hear of a con-
tention on the part of Spain that che
must retain the Philippines in order
that she may find employment for the
soldiers to be Withdrawn from the
West Indies in suppressing the Agui
naldo insurrection. They know how
Spain suppresses the insurgents. They
have had object-lessens at their own
doors. They are unwilling even pas
sively to sanction such cruelties. They
know that the world would not hold
them blameless.
The question bristles with difficult
les, from whatever side it is approach
ed. We don't want the Philippines
for ourselves; we cannot in good con-
science leave them to the tender mer-
cies of Spain; the brown and yellow
men could not maintain independence,
and are not fit for 1t; any naval station
we might help ourselves to there would
have to be held for all time to come
with the strong hand, at an enormous
cost OF worry rs well as of money; nor
would 1t be for our own or the
worlds interest to precipi-
tate Q war among the jesl
GUS European powers over the parti-
ton of the islands. Probably the cheap
est and safest way out, il feasible
way, would be.to take the islands body
ly in lieu of q war indemnity and sell
them Immediately to the Dutch (who
know more about managing Malays
than anybody else does) for whatever
price We would get, having first made
for general guaranty
of Hollands title and undisturbed pos
session in perpetuity. The Ladrones
or the CarOlines would still be avail
able for coaling station purposes.

The Kansas City Star is an eloquent
advocate Of the conquest and retention
OF the Philippines. 1t submits q few
practical reasons why the islands
should become American territory,
which are as follows:
l. Spain cannot hold and govern
the islands. The independence Of Cuba
and the cession of Porto Rico to the
United States will give strength to the
insurrection in the Philippines and
will render impossible the mainten-
snce of Spanish rule.
:. Aguinaldo is not the person to
govern the Philippines. His ideas of
humanity and justice are, apparently,
little different from those of the Span
lsh rulers who have plundered the is
lands. His truculent attitude toward
the American army and navy Is proof
sufficient that his motive is not the
welfare OF the Philippines, but that he
is animated rather by a desire for per-
sonal glory.
3. If the United States does not oc-
cupy and hold the PHILIPPINES, thew
will become the possession of other
powers, and, since England does not
want them, those powers will be such
as are not friendly to the United States.
Is there any precedent in history, is
there any principle of common bust
ness sense, that would excuse the Unit
ed States in turning over to hostile ma
tions colony which it may rightfully
Claim ss prize of war, aud which is
not more than sufficient to indemnify
1t for the sacrifice of blood and treas
ure which Spain has forced it to
make?
4. Spain has ruled the Philippines
after fashion, for nearly 400 years.
Manila was nearing the century mark
when the pilgrims landed at Plymouth
Rock. III Spain, with it's oppression.
Is cruelty and its weakness, could hold
the Philippines as long as it has, what
becomes Of the argument that the
United States, with its beneficept in
situations and its tremendous power.
could not govern these islands?
D. The United States needs the
Philippines and the Philippines need
the United States. The day has gone
by forever when this country is to shut
up within itself. 1t can no longer ex-
plot itself as the champion Of freedom
and witness, without q protest, injus-
tice and oppression anywhere on the
face of the earth. With the power to
prevent it, and with its professions as
the advocate OF liberty and fair dealing,
1t cannot take the position of q supine
spectator vhile the great military ma
lions OF Europe proceed to dispoil the
helpless empires of the Orient of their
territory. Upon the United States rests
strong moral obligation to assert its
influence In Asiatic politics, and il can
