We'll underway we doubtless shall hear
a great deal more. Mr.. Bryan speaks
about going back in our policy of a
100 years and abandoning all our ira
ditions. So that looking backward
will perhaps be OF interest and maybe
reveal the fact that there are plenty
of precedents in the North American
continent for us to 90 by in our policy
in the Philippines.
Going back TO the colonial period
we find that about ri! Oui. original
territory Was at some time or other
covered 10y grants OF the crown. where
in the people had no voice or choice
in the matter. In .SU3 the governs
ment purchased louisiana Just as in
1858 it purchased the Philippines. 1t
proceeded to govern the territory
without the consent of the governed

Why then should we withdraw from
