Washington, May pa temperate and
in the Senate today on the Philippine Bill
by Mr.. Dubois, of Idaho. He confined
himself almost entirely to discussion of
the commercial and industrial aspects of
the Philippine question, his purpose being
to show that it would be disadvantage
to the people of this country to retain
the islands. This Governments activity
in the Philippines also would serve to
arouse China from her lethargy and once
aroused, the dragon would devour the
trade of the world
MIR. Dubois reviewed at length the ag-
ricultural resources of Japan and China
with view to showing that, with their
advantages of cheap labor, they would be
able to control the markets of the Orient,
including the Philippines
Mr.. Dubois contended that little ad-
vantage in holding the Philippines would
accrue to the people of the United States
except possibly to the capitalists who
would go into, the islands and obtain, un-
der concessions, great tracts of land
which they would devote to the cultiva-
ton of sugar, tobacco and cotton, to
which the land was peculiarly well adapt
ed. These products eventually would
come into competition with the same
products in this country, the result be-
ing detrimental to both American capital
and labor.
Mr.. Dubois expressed the fear that with
the cheap labor available in the Philip
Pines our retention of the islands would
Ann lah
we'll as to the American manufacturers.
Establishments would ultimately spring
UP in the islands and their products
would come into competition directly
with the products of this country in the
markets of the world
An earnest and forcible reply to Mr.
Dubois was made by Mr.. Beverage, of
Indiana, who contended that the develop
ment of China's resources would be of
advantage in trade and commerce to the
United States, rs the industrial develop
ment of other nations had been.
The argument of Mr.. Dubois, he in
sisted, was refuted by all the facts, as
it had been demonstrated that our eX-
ports had increased most rapidly to those
countries in which internal development
was increasing, as thereby the people of
those countries were the better able to
purchase from the United States. This
certainly would be as true of China, as
it had been of other nations. AS the
country was developed, the wants of the
people would increase and so would our
opportunity to supply these wants. Japan
has had recently wonderful development
and along with that development our ex-
ports increased from about 100000 a
year to more than S29 ,000,000 year. This
would be true of China The exports to
China from outside countries amounted
to about $3.50, OOO,e 600 a year and he be-
lieved that it would be possibly easier
for the United States to secure one-half
of that trade The Philippines, he main
tanned, were a door to the Chinese trade.
