Therefore Admiral Dewey with his
Asiatc Squadron was asked 10 blockade
the Philippine Islands. 81 will not only
blockade them" said he, "but 1 will take
possession of the islands"
AT first II was thought undesirable TO
allow him to attempt TO take them by
himself. as here was no near feet that
he could call TO his aid but he pleaded
bis cause with so much e7rnestness that
the Board Of Strategy allowed him TO
go on his way. They knew that as soon
as he left Hong Kong all communications
with the Board Of Straegy would cease,
so they left him TO his own resources.
He said that he would be able TO take
the Philippine Islands all by himself.
and the Naval Board allowed him 20
try it. with the result now known 10
the world.
As soon as the Philippine Islands were
ours the question arose 'What shall we
do with them?' The first impulse was
TO give them 10 Great Britain. But this
the Powers of Europe would not allow.
The next was TO sell them 10 Great Brit
ian, but even this might make trouble
for us with China and Japan, Germany
and Russia. FOR these countries look with
jealous eyes upon the possessions Of Vic
toria, so it was decided that we should
keep tho islands and establish a colonial
government
The colonial system IS one that the
United States has always fought. II
means the establishment OF colonies all
over the world which pay tribute 10 the
mother country.
Great Britain has the largest colonial
government on the face OF the earth
II controls Ireland. Scotland and Wales
and other less important countries. India
is a colony OF Great Britain so is Aus
tralia: and each year she adds another
to her long list. The Monroe Doctrine
keeps her from gobbling up Venezuela
which she has long eyed with onvious
looks. But she has others quite as inn
