Great Britain alone buys from us.
Japan is already becoming factor with
which we will have TO reckon. China has
vast possibilities in mineral resources and
for the raising of wheat and cotton. Her
people are peculiarly adapted TO the manu-
facture of textiles and all articles requir-
ing skill and patience. The labor there in
cotton factories is paid less per month
than we pay day. They can live upon
one-twentieth of what an American la
borer can live. The Philippine Islands
are adapted to the raising OF cotton, SUI
gar, rice. tobacco and other products which
are raised here. General Hughes tells
us that American laborers can not live in
that climate. that the Filpinos them
selves will never develop the islands. and
that the only labor that is available Is
Japanese and Chinese and that you can
not keep the Chinese out.
