so we must maintain the position we
have occupied through force of cir
cumstanees in that region. / am talk
ing now of the purely commercial
phase of the question, and 1 think it
is plain that we must have q CONNER
eial base of operation such as Manila
furnishes. And then, in order to pro-
tect our commerce, we must have a
naval base, and at Subig bay such
base is now being developed. Con-
gress has recognized our needs in the
Philippines and has appropriated liber-
ally for fortifying the islands. Modern
guns are being mounted, a large dry
dock has been located in Subig bay.
troops are stationed in the Island of
Luzon, and in every way Congress has
shown its desire to protect the islands
FROM foreign aggression and also to
establish base for possible military
operations.
lit has been frequently said that
the United States has assumed respon-
sibilities in the Philippines which it
can not pass over to other hands. L
do not care to discuss this phase of
the situation, except to say that | be-
lieve the American people will never
shrink from such responsibilities as
were assumed for them when the Unit
ed States took over the Philippines.
DID NOT PAY MONEY FOR PHILIP
PINES.
- was very glad to see that Mai.
Mcintyre recently exploded the popu-
lar idea that the United States paid
twenty millions to Spain for the is
lands. He made it clear that when the
treaty of Paris was signed the Span
lsh commissioners agreed to settle all
their numerous claims for the sum
and to throw in the Philip
pines, and showed that by accepting
this offer the United States avoided
the necessity of taking over the Cuban
and Porto Rican debt.
But the commercial side of the
matter, in which farmers, our manu-
faeturers and all our people are con-
cerned, is to my mind of greater i'm
portance; and L want to emphasize NV
belief that the United States as a
world power will always have com
merclal and diplomatic interests in the
far east, and can not maintain itself
properly without base of operations.
The United States can not withdraw
from its present enterprise in the east.
but must go forward seeking its share
or the advantages and sustaining its
share OF the responsibilities.
I'VE can not afford to turn over
to the other nations of the world all
the vast commerce of the east. and
restrict ourselves to our own Pacific
coast. The annexation of Hawaii was
N pursuance of a policy of CONNER
nal expansion and protection in the
0aeIf1c which the statesmen of a few
ears ago foresaw as both inevitable
Ind advisable for the United States.
Ne are fortunate that what was ac-
Iulred through their wisdom has been
supplemented, in legitimate and hon
rable way, by the cession of the
'hlllPpines to our country, and we
hould never let go the immense COM
lerelal advantages we have thus Sc
ured.''
