They Are Almost Universally in Favor of

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The news
papers reaching the state department
in the official mails from the east show
that the almost universal expression
in the public press of Japan is in favor
of the United States holding perman-
emily and governing the Philippine
Islands. The position taken is that
this will be in the interest of peace
and commerce and good government.
The editorials insist that this is the
only issue of the matter that will
satisfy the highest interests of the
islands and the demands of civiliza-
ton. The papers declare that the
United States in assuming the control
of the islands will receive the moral
support, if not the active cooperation,
of Japan and Great Britain.
