They are not a colony. but merely a possession or a dependency or whatever you choose to call them. I want to say. too. that the mere going of a people from one country to another does not constitute colonization. The immigration to the United States from the different countries of the world which passes unnoticed is greater than all those tremendous migrations of tribes and nations that were the wonder of ancient times. where one people. pressed by those who were crowded for room. were forced out of their habitat. and they pressed another. and so it went on and on. like billows following each other upon the bosom of the sea. each in swift. succession occupying the place the other had deserted. Yet all those vast migrations do not equal the annual immigration to the United States of America. The people among whom a colony is located must be inferior to the people who colonize. Not only that. but there must be more territory in the colony than in the place whence the people went where they were crowded out.
