Japanese. Malays. Indians. negroes. and all sorts and kinds of mongrel Asiatic peoples. and I have about come to the conclusion that it is very hard to determine who and what they are. from whence they came. or whither they are going. and about the only thing that is a certainty about them is that they are "thunder on the United States Treasury" and a very extravagant luxury on the body politic. and therefore I agree with the gentleman who has just taken his seat and who has just discussed the Philippines. that the sooner we get rid of them the better it will be for us. for it will considerably lighten the burdens upon our own people and may possibly make the Filipinos happy. and hence I favor reserving whatever of coaling and naval stations we need to remunerate us to some extent for the money we have expended. and turn the islands over to them. and let them pay their own expenses and run their own affairs. But. Mr.
