OUR WEALTH IN
 TIE RICH ORIENT As a Business Investment the Philippines May Be
 Worth Their Cost IMMENSE RESOURCES Commercial Freedom an Es- Sential Factor in Future
 Developments.
IMMENSE RESOURCES

None of the members of congress who have so cop!ously expressed themselves in regard to the retention
 of the Philippines seems to have ven tured to assert that the islands might,
 merely as a business investment. be
 worth all they have cost us up to the present time, or that they are likely
 to cost us in the immediate future. This is, nevertheless, an opinion by no
 means destitute of support. Leaving out of sight the enhancement of Amer
 iean prestige in the Far East which at-
 tended the acquisition of the Philippine archipelago, the commercial advan-
 tages contingent on their possession
 are more clearly recognized by the rest of the world than by our elvcs.
 The islands are in immediate proXim- ity to the southern coast of China and
 lie in the pathway of eastern Asiatie commerce. Manila is only CPS miles from Hong Kong,( and is SIP miles nearer than Singapore. l. is 400 miles nearer China than Yokohama, and it
 lies directly on the route between Hong
 Kong and Australasia. The chief dis tributing centers of China, Japan,
 Korea, Siam, Annam and the East h. dies are as near to Manila as Havana
 is to New York, and the distributing eenters of British India and Austai-
 asa are nearer to Manila than to any
 other great emporium of trade. In the
 geographical advantages which will at tend the completion of the Panama Canal, the possession of the Philip pines will bear a considerable share. When the canal is finished New York
 will have 150 miles advantage over Liverpool in the distance to shanghai; an advantage of 1000 miles to Manila, } 0dO miles to Auckland and 1000 miles
 to Melbourne. In point Of position, at
 least. there can be no question about
