Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Philippine Problem in the Light of American International Policy The discussion of the Philippine problem, has taken a wide range. The history of American expansion has been told and retold. The constitutional questions involved have been repeatedly expounded. The geographical, climatic, ethnological and commercial conditions of the islands have been often portrayed. Political philosophy and political prophesy have been freely expended. It would seem that little remains to be said that has not already been sufficiently emphasized. There is, however, one phase of the question that I do not recollect to have seen independently treated. Most of the arguments thus far have been directed toward the internal effect upon the United States, or the internal effect upon the Philippines, of a permanent control and government of the archipelago by the American Republic. We have scarcely paused to consider the effect upon our external policy of the possession of a great Asiatic dependency. We have not yet had occasion to inquire whether a movement so sudden and so radical may have disturbed the relations of the United States to the other powers of the world so as to require us to re-examine and perhaps readjust our whole international policy. Yet such an inquiry will surely have to be made if we decide to enter upon the path of colonial empire outside the American continent. Heretofore our activities, our aspirations, and consequently our policies, have been distinctively, even exclusively, American. We have therefore been able to give to them a character wholly unique.
