The Presidents Philippines Policy,
From the New York World

In his speech at Ocean Grove MI. Mckinley gave
this brief definition of what he called 1.-The Presi-
dents policy in connection with the Philippines -
Peace first, then, with charity for ALL establish
government of law and order protecting life and
property, and occupation for the wellbeing of the
people, government in which they shall partici-
pate under the Stars and Stripes.
He prefaced this declaration with the assertion
that ''our flag does not mean one thing in the
United States and another thing in the Pnilip-
pines
of the people, by the people, for the people" Does
il mean this in the Philippines?
At home our flag means government with the
consent of the governed" Are we asking the con-
sent of the Filtpinos to establish Il government
for them, as the President puts it?
At home our flag mean mo taxation without rep
resentation. Mr. Mckinly purposes to tax the Fill
pinos. Does he mean to give them representation
in our Congress?
At home our flag means the supremacy of the civil
over the military power. VIII it signify any such
thing i'll the Philippines for years to come even
after the inhabitants have been subjugated?
The most that the Presidents policy promises
after occupation" by our forces, is government
established by him, through military power, in
in which the inhabitants shall participate under
the Stars and Stripes"
government for the Filipinos may be- it is not the
sort of government that our flag means in the United
States; it is not form of government recognized in
Constitution; il is nota government established
authorized by Congress- but is directly contrary
TO the letter and spirit of the resolution adopted by
the Senate after the ratification of the treaty with
Spain.
1t is in fact military satrapy that Mr. Mckinley
proposes government by proclamation.
