These islands are more than two thousand
miles distant from our extreme Western
boundary. We have a serious race prob
lem now in our country, and I am not in
favor OF adding TO our domestic fabric
a mOngrel population (of this character).
Our Cons .itution makes no provisions for a
colonial establishment. Any territorial gov
eminent we might establish would neces-
sariy. because of the population, be an
oligarchy. which would have To be sup
ported by armed soldiers Yet Hawaii
has now been annexed and her delegates
have sat in the national conventions of
the two great parties. The fears then
expressed in relation 20 an 'olisarchy' and
armed soldiers are not now seriously en-
tertained by any human being; yet they
are precisely the objections urged against
the acquisition of the Philippines at this
very moment We are making no new
departure. We are not taking a single
step which in any way affects our insti-
tutions or our traditional policies. From
the beginning we have given widely vary
ing degrees of Seif-gOvernment To the diff
ferent Territories, according to their needs.
EXPANSION is NOT IMPERIALISM
THE simple truth is that there is moth
ing even remotely resembling imperialism
or 'militarism involved in the present de-
velopment OF that policy of expansion
which has been part of the history OF
America from the day when she became
a nation. The words mean absolutely
nothing as applied TO present policy
In the Philippines; for this policy is only
imperialistic in the sense that Jefferson )
policy In Louisiana was imperialistic; only
military I'm the sense that Jacksons pol

there Is no more danger OF it's producing
