Taft cs.st1ustivs statesnan.
The Honorable William H. Taft has
1een one Of the chief advisers and
strongest advocates Of the Republican
standardization policy during this for
Native and historic period. He has
been pioneer, not only along the lines
OF statecraft, which have had for their
object the development Of our western
Seates, but he has given particular at
tention to the situation in the Orient
With reference to the future commerce
between those far away countries and
the Pacific coast Of America.
In his own inimitable way and unit
ing a unique personality with the high
EFT authority as diplomat, he poured
oil on the troubled waters in Japan
and changed the political storm there
raging, into placid sunshine Of peace.
In China he created such enthusiasm
- the, Orientals have never shown to
any other visitor and left that empire
With the belief on their part that the
United States is not only ready to en-
tor into commercial reciprocity, but to
still sttnd as China's friend and lend
'ih influence to see that she gets Jus
,aScs from those who weuld violate her
'ssrritorial integrity.
