adhere strictly to the traditional policy Of
the country as formulated by Its first Pres
ident and never. In my judgment, wisely de-
parted from-to invite friendly relations
with all nations while avoiding entangling
alliances with any. Such policy means
the cultivation Of peace instead Of the
glortfcation OF war. and the Winding of
termeddling with the affAirs of other M.
lions. 1t means strict observance Of the
principles Of International law and con-
dennis the doctrine that great state, by
reason of Its strength, may rightly appro-
pirate the sovereignty or territory OF small
state on account OF Its weakness. 1t means
for other American states that we claim
no rights and will assume no functions save
those Of friend and Of an ally and de-
means that we repudiate the role of the
American continental policeman; that we
refuse to act as debt collector for foreign
states or their citizens; that we respect
the independent sovereignty Of each Amer
lean state and It's right to preserve order
and otherwise regulate Its own Internal az

vention In Its Affairs by us II limited to the
single office Of enabling its people to work

vantage is that the anemone often alb.
serbs the shell and lets the crab live
inside of It's own body. This saves
the trouble of moving. for the cavity
inside the anemone enlarges as the
CRAB grows and the shell does not.
AS for the anemone, it likes the ar

scraps from the crabs table and gets
free transportation besides. Some
times. instead of growing on top of
the shell the anemone attaches itself
to the under side, SO that the scraps

Various other animals also grow
on the shells of hermit crabs. and in

not only lives at the crabs expense,

duties imposed upon sugar and tobacco
will seriously interfere with the to-
bacco and sugar interests of this coun-
try. I am convinced that this fear is
not well founded. The great distance
and the necessary high rate of freight
on goods imported into the United
States from the Philippines Islands
must of themselves constitute high
tariff. Then, the market for both to-
bacco and sugar is so great in the
United States, and the importations
from foreign countries needed to sup
PLY that market, even under the heavy
existing duties, are so heavy, that the
comparatively small production of the
Philippine Islands will not materially
affect the price of either commodity;
and yet the access to the market will
greatly benefit the tobacco and sugar
planters of the Philippines.
But it is said that the opportunity to
reach the market will greatly stimulate
the cultivation of tobacco and sugar.
There are limitations which will rem
der the extension of both the tobacco
and sugar industry in the islands grad

labor, of which there is treat com
plant on the part of the sugar grow
ers and of the tobacco raisers and the
Chinese immigration laws, which ap-
ply as we'll in the islands as in the
United States, make certain that the
labor supply will not increase rapidly.
The methods of raising and making
sugar and tobacco in the Philippine
Islands are primitive, and they cannot
be changed except by an investment
of much capital Transportation is
slow and, in the death of the draft cat
tie, has become in many places impos-
