There was not sounder reason for the
admission Of Porto Rico % free trade
privileges in 1901 than exists now for
the extension Of the same privileges Is
the linguishing industries Of the Philip
pines. And no one has ever successfully
contended that the concession of free
trade to Porto Rico was crime against
any domestic enterprise, or that the
island has not profted from the gift
The people Of this country share Mr..
Taft's conviction that free trade "will
come ultimately" Buot not a few Of
them are impatient at the delay.

The modern Monroe Doctrine as ex-
pounded by President Roosevelt is very
unpopular with some of our sister repub-
lies to the south of us. Argentina en-
tireiy repudiates the right of this country
TO use the big stick and it seems that
Secretary of State Root win have to use
more than usual diplomacy to prevent a
computation on what is known as the
Galso doctrine, which is that the use Of
force is not permissible for the collection
of debts contracted with European ma
tions. The Administration will probably
have to crawfish. as it has done on other
novel ideas.
Discussing our duties as colonial ad-
ministrators, says the Brooklyn Eagle .
Secretary Taft had this to say to an
audience of Yale students Monday night
concerning the possibility of free trade
between this country and the Philip
pines
Whether this viii happen in the pres
ent Congress / do not know. That it
win come ultimately I am confident!
That it ought to come at once am sure.
When il does come the people of the is-
lands will realize how much America
has done for them. Until that time we
must expect to be blamed for everything
in the shape of i'll that comes to the
islands. and We must expect to encounter
complaints and criticism from the FIJI
ipinos Bat their attitude ought not in
the slightest degree to affect ours or to
take from Us the sense of obligation that
We should put them on their feet.
And all this blame, complaint and criti-
cism Is attributed NOT to the perverse-
ness Of a majority of the American peo-
pie, but to the activity Of numerically
inconseauential minority, who are vet
strong enough to hold up Congress on
any proposal involving eyen a measure
Of commercial justice to the Philippines.
