Description
Excerpt from The Philippines: A Summary Account of Their Ethnographical, Historical and Political Conditions; With an Appendix Containing the Constitution of the Philippine Republic
A friend has said to me Why, the American people won''t stand for anything wrong. I know that the heart of our people is right - but we must use our heads to save the heart from too great strain. It is usually more easy to get into trouble than to get out of it, and going blindly ahead is.not the best way out.
The question of slavery could have been easily settled at the foundation of our government. But vested inter ests and a fatuous [disses-farm policy stood in the way. For a century that question frequently startled the coun try like a fire bell in the night until finally it was settled right at an immense cost of life and treasure, and to the jeopardy of our very government.
Now 15 the time to settle the question of dependent colonies. Wrong our children by leaving the trouble to them and their children.
