InsuIar POLICY and Economics.

Insular Policy and Economics.
For the present there can be no
alternative for a somewhat arbitrary
government of our insular possessions
Nevertheless, it is not mere coinci.
dence that the Porto Ricans are found
protesting against the strong hand at
the very moment when the Filipinos
are dismayed by the Payne-Aldrich
bills threat to throw their ports open
to free American trade.
President Taft correctly diagnoses
the Porto Rican malady and prescribes
the proper remedy of less self-govern-
ment. He also loves the Filipino, and
holds his interests at heart But there
is something wrong. We fancy the
blame rests on Congress, which has
steadily neglected the strongest recon-
mendations of Judge Taft throughout
his whole career. and which now pro
poses without so much as the formal
ity Of a particular inquiry to open
the Philippine ports to all our prod
ucts free.
Establishment of order and justics
in the dependencies does not exhaust
our duty. When Japan took over tur
bulent Formosa she realized that the
little island must be furnished with
an economic chance before the popula
tion would cease from discomfort. Her
civil commissioners accordingly stud
led the economic situation and devised
policies to fit that situation.
We may pacify the Philippines by
force and set up the most perfect law
and order in the islands. Our courts
may give them justice. our administra
ton may be lily-white in purity. Bui
unless we consult the economic neces
stiles of the archipelago and offeI
profitable markets somewhere to theiI
products. our rule will be a failure
If we do not wish TO merit the curse!
Of the islanders. Congress must inves
tigate and then must legislate with
an eye to insular prosperity.
Our acquisition of Porto Rico ant
the Philippines operated to deprive
both of the Spanish market. Has any
substitute market been contrived for
them? Is our economic policy for the
Philippines well devised for an Asiatio
country. however well fitted for an
American community? - Minneapolis
