/ the fact that in refusing free trade to
the island Congress has taken step
fraueht with moment. 1t has estab-
lished a precedent. 1t has claimed
the RIGHT to fix the status OF any new
territory that may be added to our
domains. Further than that, it has
Disseminated in favor Of the old and
against the new. 1t has raised tariff
barriers against our new possessions
not oppressively high in this case,
but enough to Indicate that we Will
not feel ourselves bound to grant free
trade to all lands and peoples that we
may take under our flag.
Inasmuch as Porto Rico is not OF our
country, and yet belongs to us, there
is only one title by which to designate
it and that is, colony. Porto Rico is
colony of the United States. We own
it. We will give it what privileges
and advantages we choose, always
first considering what effect they will
have on our own people. It can claim
nothing from us Of right.
There is only one term by which to
designate this system and that is impe-
rialism. 1t is not expansion, for that
means an extension ofall the blessings !
we enjoy to those who come tous. 1t
does not mean immediate statehood.
as some try to make us think, but it
means that when our national bound
ariesare extended it shall be SOME
thing more than a simple change in
the map. Cuba and the Philippines
can expect no more, but rather less,
favor than we have granted to Porto
Rico. The United States has started
On a course ofmperialism, of holding
colonies subordinate and inferior to the
mother country"-colonies toward
which we show a distrust and jealousy |
sufficient to keep them partially, at
east, outside the pale.
1t may be that in this case it is better
or Porto Rico that this tarifbill should !
,ass than that free trade should he
grantcd at once. It may be that the
leeds Of the insular government are so
PRESSING that this is the most practical
way ofrelieying them and benefttiug
he people. 1t may be that Porto Rico
.self prefers it to free trade. Some,
doubtless, have supported it for these
easons. But Notwithstanding. the
feet has been to place our government
quarely under the banner of imperial
SIN, where Spain was and Great Britain
5. We confess that we do not like it.
it is unsafe to expand in the good
Id way any longer, let's stop now.
n the words Of "A senator, II don't
want any territory in which the con
titution does not follow the flag. We
annot discriminate against any section
# our country. If our principles of
rec government are not broad enough
o cover any territory under the flag,
hen we would better bring back the
lag"

GHAFFEE'S s ACT IN China
His Protest Against LOoting in Line
With Instructions.
war Department officials Look Upon
His Course as Harmonious With
secrel orders-Not surprised That
He incurred the German comman-
der's DispIeasure by His Firmness.

War Department officials express no sur
prise over the report from Pekin that
General Chanee has Incurred the displeas-
ure OF Count Won waIdeFsee because of
his letter protesting against Iooting. Gen
eraI Chaffee's independent action IN pre-
venting looters from passing through the
gates guarded by the American troops is
apparently in conformity with his instrue-
tions from the Secretary OF War. It ap-
pears from the despatch from Pekin that
exception was taken to his acting indie
pendentiy in the matter and without the
approval of Waldersee. while the officials
decline to be interviewed they point to
General Chafee's instructions as vindi-
cation of his conduct. In a despatch to
General ChaFee dated June 80, he was
directed By the Secretary of War, as fol-
lows:
You VII. however. avoid entering into
any joint action ar undertaking with other
powers tending to commit or limit this
Government as to its future course Of con-
duct"
In the secret instructions sent General
Chanee July 10 by cable to Nagasaki, he
vas told 10 confer freely with command
ers of other national forces. act concur
rentIy with them, and seek entire har-
mony Of action along the lines Of similar
purpose and interest. There should be
fgIl and free conference as 10 operations
before they are entered upon You are
at liberty to agree with them from tine
to time as 10 q common official direction
of the various forces in their combined
operations, preserving. however. the in
tegrity of your own American divisions,
ready to be used as separate and com
plete organization"
A. the time of Count von Waldersee's
selection by the German Government, and
his acceptance by the United States Gov
eminent, Secretary Root, explaining this
Governments action, said that while this
Government vas willing that Count Won
waldersee should act as the general com
manding the allied forces. General Chaffee
would. under instructions from the War
Department. reserve the right to command
his own men, and that Count Won walder-
the American soldiers il camp. or as a
separate military organization It was
made plain that he was u be recognized
as commanding the American expedition
in a technical way, as part of the
whole allied army, and only when a COM
bined movement was on foot 1t is said
that General Chafee's conduct in inde-
pendently barring the hooters out of the
gates defended by the American troops is
certainly within his rights and in line
with his Instructions to preserve his righ,
to Independent action.
