SAVES HERMIT KINGDOM

I'VE have taken Korea under our
wing because weaker nation, un-
protected, is menace to a stronger
nation
Korea is an effeminate nation un-
able to defend herself. To keep for
eign powers of greater strength from
encroaching on her domain and thus
becoming a peril to us we were obliged
to take charge of her affairs.
I'VE are building her up, helping her
to help herself. and our ultimate in
tentions are no more those of ag-
grandizement than those of the United
States in the Philippines.

highly cultured people But they were

were in ever present danger of being
absorbed by a nation which would
strive eventually to reach across the
seas to our land.
"As soon as the Koreans are fit to
govern themselves we will withdraw
our forces and rejoice with them in
their new found statehood. l do not
say in their new independence, for
Korea now is an independent nation
