10 the Spanish appeal for arbitration
makes retreat Impossible. In that we
did not offer TO buy the islands; we did
not merely make proposition that was
to be discussed: but we positively af-
firned that when the protocol was sign
ed. when we took possession of Manila,
our title to the Philippines was perfect
and not open to question. To abandon
the policy OF expansion, therefore,
would be to seek for some power on
which to confer the territory, unless we
should choose to acknowledge the inde-
pendence of the people

thing as the independence of the ISL

maintain that the chief danger and
their main objection to the acquisition
Of the archipelago, is the ignorance of
the people who inhabit it They affirm
that they are not only incapable of self
government, but also incapable of be-
coming territorial subjects of America:
that they are intractable and violent
and would involve US in constant tur-
mOil and expense; that it would become
necessary to keep large standing
army there 10 preserve semblance OF
peace, etc. So it is manifestly absurd
from their own point of view to ask
these people to govern themselves. They
must admit that it would mean domes-
tic revolution. chaos and ruin.
To give the islands TO Spain after we
have already acquired full title to
them, as we assert in our reply To the
Spanish representatives is quite an
other thing than leaving them with that
broken and bankrupt nation. If most
Of us were shocked at the proposition
to leave TIE people la the rrvengeful rule
of the Spaniards what would be our
emotions if the President should decide
that after destroying every right OF
Spain to island sovereignty, we should
relieve ourselves OF the obligations of
ownership and possession by restoring
Spain's title? Can we give the islands
to any other nation? To do so would
