There has been no time since
the destruction of the enemy's feet
when we could or should have left
the Philippine archipelago. After
the treaty of peace was ratified no
power but congress could surren-
der our sovereignty or ALLEVIATE a
foot of the territory acquired. The
congress has not seen fit to do one
or the other, and the president bad
no authority to do either, if he had
been so inclined, which he was not.
So longas the sovereignty remains
in us it is the duty of the execu-
tive, whoever he may be, to up
hold that sovereignty, and if it be
attacked, to suppress its assailants.
Would our political adversaries do
less?- President McKinley's Letter
