After the elections the resistance in
the Philippines increased and it had
been announced in the senate within .
week that 500, American soldiers
would be needed in the island for ao in
definite period.
The retention OF the Philippines
will commit US the the whole program
Of empire. There is law, among na-
tions by which bad appetite grows by
what it feeds on. No nation in history
has resisted it, and to every nstioe hat
had yielded to it it had brought disaster.
