ARE WE AwARLlKe psopLei
Our Policy I'm the. Philippines and
Our Military Power.

Our Policy I'm the Philippines and
our Military Power.
In an article in January Forum
John f. Shofro'h, member Of congress
from Colorado, says:
The great wealth and development
of our country have arisen from the
fact that we have had peace and that
we have not been compelled to impose
constant tax on our industries and
people to maintain large armies and
navies. With our sovereignty removed
from the Philippines and with our
sources of income practically unlimit-
ed, we should still be able to pursue
our policy of peace and good will with
out fear of foreign aggression.
In view of the situation in China
the Philippine Islands are supposed
by some to be Of great strategic value.
1t is very improbable that we shall
ever have any difficulty with the Chi
nese, because our interest Is Identical
with thelrs--namely, the preservation
Of the integrity of the Chinese empire.
But even If we were otherwise, why
keep soldiers 600 to 1900 miles from
the possible scene of action, with a
very limited transport service, and 1t
is suggested, by the way, that this
should be sold, when we could place
them on our own concession at Shang-
hal, as the French, Germans and
English have done?
The decision as to whether we are
to hold the Philippine Islands involves
therefore the question whether we are
willing to relinquish concentration for
diffusion, to exchange land power, our
natural strength, as TO which we have
enormous advantages, for sea power,
as to which we have no peculiar ad-
vantage, and to give to the enemy in
each conflict the choice of weapons as
well as Of time and place of battle.
With our military power upon land,
we need neither large army nor a
large navy and require only light
taxation upon the industries and peo-
pie Of the nation, which means pros
perity. Exchanging this for sea power,
we shall need a navy equal or superior
to that Of any warlike nation and also
large army to sustain the results Of
our naval engagements, involving tax
alton which will SO cripple many Of
our industries that they will be una
BILE to compete for trade In the markets
Of the world, which means adversely.
Why pursue course which will
weaken the military strength of our
nation, which will make greater
drain upon the treasury than will be
counterbalanced by the profits 1t will
give to commerce and which will COM
pei us to abandon the policy under
which we have grown SO great? why
give up the advantages Of peaceful
people FOR the disadvantages of war
like people? "They that take the sword
shall perish with the sword" That
judgment threatens not man alone, but
also every nation that INDUCES the
dream of universal empire. Why not
avoid the stupendous blunder of the
acquisition of these islands by helping
their people to establish government
of their own based upon republican
principles and thereby continue to be
the beacon light Of liberty and civili-
cation to all the world?

Rockefeller,s Reauest.

Paris. Jan. 6.-La Liberte has pub
lished report to the effect that the
Rockefellers intend TO apply for con-
cession to supply gas 10 the city OF
Paris. The paper vigorously opposes
this scheme. and says it would be an
act OF mental alteration to accept
such proposition. which would be
disastrous to national production and
a powerful help to the designs OF the
Americans. who wish not only to expel
foreign industry from their own coun-
try. but who seek to supplant foreign
ers on their own ground.

Reply Satisfactory.

Buenos Ayres, Jan. THE declara-
tion by Chill relative to the meaning
OF the paragraphs Of the Yanez-Por-
tella protocol concerning the policing
OF the territory known as Ultima Es-
peranza are satisfactory to Argentina.
lnsor.uch as the points wherein Ar
gentina considered herself aggrieved
by Chilli have been provided for, the
two governments will approve the
paragraphs in question, thus putting
an end to the claims arising from the
Ultima Esperanza incident Public
opinion is satisfied and expresses its
approval of the energetic attitude of
the Argentine government.

American Prosperity.

London, Jan. THE Times devotes
long editorial to q review of the
economic situation in the United
States. In this 1t takes the view that
in spite Of the apparently tremendous
material progress made in America of
recent years. this progress is insult
hcient to warrant the view OF its
economic results either by sanguine
Americans or by timid Europe. The
Times contends that the recent pros
perity has led to over-investments and
that the fact that exchange, during the
past autumn remained in favor OF
London, tends to show that the bal
ance of trade is not in favor of the
United States.

TO BRITISH lI]iIIi' TRADE.

Of Imminent Peril.
HOLDS PROSPECTS VERY BRIGHT.

Refers 10 the Hatred Of Great Britain
by the Powers-Sensation Caused by
y Duel la Germany American
Prosperity as Viewed Abroad--For-
eign Intelligence.
London, Jan. 7.-Joseph Chamber
lain, the colonial secretary, in speak
ing at Birmingham, referred to the
hatred and jealousy of Great Britain
which is entertained abroad, and de-
MED that this was due to the existence
of a particularly wicked government.
This is no new thing in history" he
said, "and we must maintain our
splendid isolation, surrounded and sup
ported by our colonial kinsfolk." I"
Whilst fully admitting the necessity
of finding new markets and keeping
abreast of modern times and methods,
Mr.. Chamberlain saw no sign OF any
imminent or pressing danger to British
trade. He said: During the last five
years we have enjoyed an absolutely
unparalleled condition Of trade and
for the future the prospects are ex-
ceedingly good" The secretary de-
precated any attempt on the part OF
the trades unions to restrict the out
put and reduce all workmen to q dead
level Of mediocrity. In this connection
the speaker referred to the opinions Of
Senator Hanna and President Schwab,
of the steel corporation, on this
subject.

French Shore Question.

st. Johns, N. r., Jan. THE colon
ial authorities entertain the hope that
the British government does not ex-
pect a renewal of the French shore
modus vivendi which expired on Dec.
81, 190D, for the current year. They
consider that this arrangement has
proved very great drawback to the
welfare of the colony, and that its re-
newal would prolong the vexatious
phases of the French shore question
for further period. Were 1t not for
the Boer war, there is little doubt
but that the colony would refuse to
renew this measure. Even as It Is
there is strong element in the up
per house of the colonial legislature
which is opposed to the renewal of this
arrangements under any circum-
stances.
