How is it with regard to the future relations of these islands to the United States if sovereignty is to be permanently maintained therein by the United States? There is no possibility that they can ever become a State of this Union. There is no possibility that a star can be added to the flag which shall represent an Asiatic race 7.000 miles beyond the seas. There is no possibility that we should ever admit to an equal participation in our Government these Asiatic people. so differing from us in race. habits. traditions. interests. laws. and religion. so utterly unassimilable to ourselves. It is impossible that we should ever consent that this Asiatic race should send here Senators and Representatives to participate in the making of laws by which Americans are to be governed. or that they should. in some closely dontested election. through their electoral vote. decide who should be the President of the United States. The conditions which now exist. and which will undoubtedly exist hereafter if we permanently retain the Philippines. make it impossible that they can ever become a State. and to hold them as a subject colony makes necessarily a revolution in our system of government which should not be aided by anyone who is loyal to the principles upon which that system is founded. Itis a revolution which requires those who support it to deny the most venerated principles contained in the Declaration of Independence. and compels them to openly challenge and dispute their truth.
