the great powers that rejoiced at our
solution of that very difficult problem.
Germany alone felt disappointment. she
wanted the islands herself, and set up as
g. sort of legatee of fate. But when the
real situation dawned on the American
peace commissioners in Paris they saw
Americas duty plainly. Sand President
Mckinley adopted their recommendation
Japan made no protest, and had no policy
upon which a protest could have been
founded
The talk since about the probable seiz-
ure Of the Philippines by Japan has not
been based upon a proposition that we
have no right to be there. but has grown
out of differences that have arisen be-
tween Japan and US over Japanese i'm
migration to the United States, and the
treatment of japanese immigrants in
California. It has simply been pointed
out that in the event of an armed COLI
sion between the two countries We should
be weakest in the Philippines and Japan
would strike her first blow there.
! We are not unwelcome in the Philip
pines today. We have done so well there
that not only the great powers, but the
great majority of the natives, want us
to remain. If We were seriously to pro-
pose to withdraw at once there would
be a vigorous protest, for left to them
selves the islands would fall into an
| archy and become the prey of outside
powers. Order would have to be restored
and maintained, and that would call for
action from the outside.
We violated no eastern policy of any
kind when we raised our flag at Manila.
The field was both clear and easy. There
was protest here at home. but not of
an influential character, and it has great
ly diminished since Although the demo-
cratic party is pledged to independence
for the F7iipinos. it is the safest CT bets
| that if Woodrow Wilson gets a second
term in the presidency and lives through
it, the Stars and Stripes will still be fly
ing in the Philippines when his time is
up.
