SPANS DOGGED DETERMINATION

Congressman Swanson Does Not Favor
Territorial Acquisition.


Hon. Claude A. Swanson, the talented
Congressman who represents the Fifth
District, was in the city yesterday
on his way 20 attend the meeting OF the
Bar Association ct Old Point to-day.
When asked in regard TO the acquisl-
ton Of territory by reason OF the present
war. no said:
III Cervera's fleet has been destroyed
as reported. think the war will termi-
nate very soon, provided the administra-
ton will be satisfied 20 make peace by
obtaining what was intended when war
was DECLARED. But It IS difficult to say
what the administration viii require as
terms of peace with Spain.
II fear the intention OF the adminis-
tration IS TO insist upon the acquisition
by this country OF all the colonies now
possessed by Spain. II this is insisted
upon, the war will possibly be very
much prolonged and complications with
other poBars might arise.
II think IL a serious mistake for this
country 10 enter into a policy OF acquir-
inS colonies or extending our possessions
outside OF the North American continent
THE present wretched condition OF
Spain IS conclusive argument against the
wisdom n such a policy. The history OF
the world shows that the easiest Of all
empires 70 create Is a naval empire. and
that they ara tho easiest Of all to de-
stroy.
Portugal had n vast colonial empire
which she created and for over go years
was supreme upon the ocean. Her SUI
premacy continued so long as her peo-
pie at home could stand the tax upon
their resources 10 maintain this foreign
splend6r
Holland created such an empire and
for nearly a hundred years was supreme
and continued SO as long as she could
stand the tax 20 90 so.
Spain created q colonial empire sur
passing either or these and she continued
supreme until her home resources had
been exhausted in tho efforts
No country can maintain colonies Mt
distance except az a greater expense
than the benefits received
Britain's vast colonial empire instead
or being a benefit viii ultimately prove
a disadvantage 10 her. She holds
Canada only by giving her more BENEFITS
than she receives
"Capada, pays no taxes 20 the British
goverhment and IS relieved entirely from
all expense OF navy and army for ma
tioual defense.
Il believe IN adherng 20 the traditions
OF the fathers and conhing our territory
10 this hemisphere. To hold she Philip
pine islands would require a large army
and navy and The expense OF maintaining
this far exceed IN the revenue or benefits
that we would derive from the possess
sion
No country has been permanent sue
cessful or prosperous that has sought
10 extend its boundaries beyond IT'S
haunts prescribed by nature
Il view with grave apprehension the
departure now sought 20 be- made In our
foreign policy and the creation OF an
imperial policy for the country"
In speaking OF the annexation Of Hawaii
Mr. Swanson said ne was unalterably OPP
posed 10 II. TIE thought a coaling station
In Hawaii and one In the Philippines
was all we should acquire
Tle IS OF the opinion that Congress will
vote 10 annex Hawaii II a vote can be
reached al this session.
