If it caught your eye you would read

speech before the Congregational club

was responding to the toast, our new
possessions in the Orient" and he sad:
AS outlined by President Roosevelt
IN his message to Congress, and as be-
hcve is indicated I'm his other acts. we
can look forward to the time when the
Philippine Islands will cease to be a
part of the territory of the United
States; when the people have learned
the lesson Of self-gOVeTnment and when
the policy of honesty and purity of pur-
pose shall be established so firmly that
We shall have there a republic set i'm
the midst of the AsiatiC seas, a peace
full people, a productive people, and a
wise people, that shall serve as a model
to the nations OF Europe and Asia,
even as the United States served for
the past hundred years"
That is encouraging talk from a man
who has not talked that way before.
But how lOng2 Does Mr.. Foster agree
with the Philippine commission that
one generation, perhaps two genera
tions, will be needed to tit that people
for an Independent existence? II so,
