Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Philippine Problem: A Study of American Colonial Policy In the following pages I have attempted a review of our experience as a nation in governing the Philippine Islands and an appreciation of the main elements of the Philippine problem as it now presents itself. The first of these objects has been made subordinate to the second. Only so much of the history of our administration has been given as seemed to be necessary to an understanding of present questions. So fully has the subject been canvassed, that without first-hand information I should hardly feel justified in adding to the voluminous literature bearing upon it. This book is the outcome of a study of the Philippine situation during the years from 1901 to the present time. While I had felt unusual interest in our relations to the archipelago from the beginning of our colonial enterprise, my first serious attention was devoted to the subject when engaged in editorial work in New York City during the year 1901. A feeling that our relations to the Philippines involved considerations of first-class importance from the broadest national standpoint led me to devote more and more attention to the issues involved in these relations, while stationed at Washington, during the year 1902-1903, as correspondent for the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin and for the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. During this latter period, decisive action was taken by Congress upon the fundamental questions involved in the Philippine Civil Government Act and the Philippine Tariff Act.
