Current Comment.
Conquest vs.. Colonization

From the Houston Post.
Colonization in its true sense. the
sending out of representatives of your
race to populate and develop fertile
but waste lands. will generally pay. 1t
has been going on successfully for sew
eral hundred years IN the mainland OF
North America. but the annexation OF
alien races Is entirely another thing.
We sometimes speak Of our purpose to
enter upon a COLONIZATION" policy in
acquiring Spain's former island possess
sions. but this Ii not strictly accurate.
What we contemplate Is imperial con-
quest of lands that offer no chance for
colonization by Americans.
