Presidents foresight has made it possible
for us to secure an even chance for that
great commerce Our skill and ability viii
do the rest.
The Open Door.
But an open door in China means an
open door in the Philippines, or mean
and niggardly refusal to grant what we
have so gloriously secured; and an open
door in the Philippines means that the
ships and merchandise OF other countries
shall enter the ports Of those islands
upon the same terms that our own ships
and merchandise enter them.
If the Philippines are part of the
United States merely because the flag flies
there. and if. therefore we cannot levy a
tariff on our merchandise going into the
Philippines, then of necessity it must go
in free Of duty. and if we enter free Of
duty every other nation sharing with us
in the open door policy will also OF right
enter free OF duty, and if when in the
Philippines they are already within the
United States on the theory that they are
a part of the United States instead Of a
mere possession, then, indeed, are we un-
done for in such a case it must follow
that no tarin duties could be levied on
articles coming from there here, even for
the purpose Of revenue. And thus an open
door in the Philippines would prove an
open door for the whole world TO the
United States.
AS soon as the insurrection has been
suppressed and civil government has been
established We must pass upon the ques-
ton Spain under the terms of The treaty,
already has an omen door with us to the
Philippines and If We cannot levy duties
on our goods entering the Philippines
neither can we levy duties on the goods
of Spain Therefore Spain can ship into
the Philippines and then into the United
States without restriction Of any kind save
only such as we have power to impose on
what comes from the Philippines here on
our own commerce with the islands. That
would mean free entry into the United
States not only for Spain. but for all other
Z countries who might make OF Spain and
/ the PHILIPPINES an open door.
