To restore order in a country that has been devastated from year to year by wandering bands. who now have no homes to which they can return. and where every man may feel that it is better and cheaper for him to stay in the mountains than to go down to the tillage of the soil. unless order is to be maintained. Mr. Chairman. we have order all about us. We need no standing army. But order. as we know. has been established through successive wars. It is the fruit of armies and the work of peaceloving men who dared war to establish peace. Yet gentlemen pretend to get order in Cuba by leaving it at the present time! They pretend that this is likewise the way to secure order in the Philippines. They are many islands with many tribes. many pee pie with many languages. They have a .government divided almost against itself. The population is Asiatic. Negrito. Malay.
