the end there will be a Filipinos' country

Hon. w. d. Foulke is a sta!wart Ameri
can. In his address at a club meeting, in
New York. he deprecated ''the custom
of those who deplore the acquisition of
Porto Rico and the Philippines to insist
that American ideals are sure to suffer
in this process of extending our dominion
over nations unlike our own" The small
Americans who do this seem to think that
liberty weakens by expansion and that
republican government should be restricted
to the temperate zone.
