BECOMING A BABY EMPIRE
0ne View ofthe Expansion Policy Of the
Administration.

Alter an existence of century and
quarter as country where the gov
ernment derives its authority solely
from the consent of the governed, the
United States is turning its back upon
its own historysand traditions. From
free Democracy 1t is in danger of be
coming tyrannical, imperialistic oil.
garchy. The republic seems to be ell
tering its second childhood as a baby
empire.
AS sign that it has deserted the
principles of individual freedom upon
which it was founded, it is at this pres
ent moment trying to cram it's rule, at
the boyonet's point, down the throats
OF the people-Filipnos, Cubans, and
Porto Ricans.who the Declaration of
Independence says were ''created
equal. - certain unaIienabIe rights, {"
among which are 'ife, liberty. and
the pursuit Of happiness
As far as the Filipinos are concern.
ed the United States is doing it's
''damnedest'' to ALLEVIATE all three of
these ''unalienable rights" Their
lives have been taken, they have been
robbed OF their liberty, and instead of
pursuing happiness they are being
