"Get TOgethero
From the Worcester Gazette.

Why don't the anti-imperialists "get to-
sether and agree on their arguments?
Some of them would have hard work to
reconcile all the statements made indvidu-
ally. Here is Atkinson insisting that the
Philippines will prove bad bargain from
a purely financial point of view and he has
three columns of figures to prove it. AT
the same time, the same people are assaiI-
ing the greed CT the expansionists, who are
killing brown men in order to appropriate
their wealthy and productive islands. 1t
does not seem consistent to reinforce moral
arguments against the greed of conquest
by proof that such greed will not be sat
isfed.
