Obligations to Territories.


These are all matters of vital do
nestle concern, and besides them, out
side the charmed circle OF our own
national life in which our affections
command us, as well as our con-
sciences, there stand out our obliga-
tons toward our territories over sea.
Here we are trustees. Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Philippines, are ours, once
regarded as mere possessions, are no
longer to be selfishly exploited; they
are part of the domain of public con-
science and of serviceable and enlight-
ened craftsmanship. We must admin
lister them for the people who live in
them and with the same sense of re-
sponsibility to them as toward our
own people in our domestic affairs. No
doubt We shall successfully enough
bind Porto Rico and the Hawaiian is
lands to ourselves by ties of justice
and affection, but the performance of
our duty toward the Philippines is a
more difficult and debatable matter.
We can satisfy the obligations of gen

that we can stand by in this matter
