Finally, / think there would have
been no war if the Maine had not
been blown up.
But Mr.. Cleveland did not rec
ognize Cuban belligerency; the
Maine was blown up; We fought
Spain and whipped her, and we
now have the Philippines and can
not let them go. In time we shall
establish a local government, but
we cannot withdraw entirely our
supervision of affairs in those is
lands, because if we did so some
other power would undoubtedly
take possession of them. Ger
many covets the Philippines, and
she would doubtless find an excuse
to get possession of them if we
withdrew.
"Germany's desire for the Phil
ippines is due to the new condi-
tions governing international rela-
tions. 1t is evident that the wars
of the world hereafter are to be
fought on the sea. Coal today is
as valuable as powder for war pur-
poses. Germany has no coal.
OF the nations of the earth, the
United States, England, China and
Japan have coal. Russia has little,
aud no other nation has control of
great coal fields. The Philippine
islands are full of coal, and would
be useful to Germany for naval
purposes. But for that very rea-
son we do want Germany to not
have the Philippines; and if Ger
many is to be kept out of the is
lands we must continue our con-
troll of them indefinitely, or until
new conditions arise which may
make it seem wise for us to let go.
sour interest in the Philippines
is not the only reason why we
should concern ourselves with the
Chinese question. A year ago the
cabinet at Washington said we had
no interest in China. Evidently
they did not look very far beyond
the present Today we have an
admitted interest in China, and in
the future that interest is to be
still greater. 1t may not be in the
near future, but within the next
fifty years it is quite possible we
shall be considering China as a
possible rival to our industries.
1T is poor craftsmanship that
does not look beyond the inmedi-
ate future. The makers of the
constitution worke not for their
generation alone, but for posterity.
We have now 100000; there
will be 15o,0O0,0OO beforelo Our
country is becoming crowded. We
must find an outlet for our pro-
ducts. The Asiatic market is one
of great value, and we should not
take any chance of losing it. For

Lord Charles Beresford as to the

United States should enter into an

that is, to keep the Chinese from
