Cannot shirk the Responsibilities.

If the President is waiting to hear from
the country on the Philippines question his
delay in deciding upon course of action
need not be a long one. There are many
complications to be disentangled, perhaps
before complete policy can be determined
upon. A conflict either with the natives or
with another European power besides Spain
is not to De lightly precipitated. Upon some
points, however, the mind of the President
and his advisers ought to be perfectly clear
One is that the people of the United States
have no wish to see the Philippines handed
back to Spain or allowed to fall into the lap
of Germany or controlled by a semi-civilized
native government. Furthermore, most of
them believe that this nation cannot shrk
the responsibilities which war has brought
upon it and be justified in the face of the
rest of the world. And they realize also
that the golden opportunity now before
them of extending American commerce and
promoting the influence of Ango-Saxon
civilization is not likely to occur again This
fact is obvious enough on the Pacific coast
at any rate, whatever some timid persons
in the east may think.
