in this experiment of free government America has been blessing to the world
 Before abandoning this lamp by which our feet have been guided for a new dispensatior, we should beware. lest in doing so We sacrifice the benefits We have derived from it.
 We have brought liberty to the Phil ippine people" he continued, i've have given them an enlarged measure of ma terial prosperity. It is now proposed that we should abandon them to inevi- table disorder and to begin again in an- other part of the world the mighty task of reconstruction. By the defeat of the League of Nations the American people have been deprived of the privilege of taxing themselves a billion dollars and or raising an army of a quarter of a million to perform the task of setting up an orderly government in Turkey"
