They say that the white men can not work out there. that the negroes will not work and they must have the Chinese. That is what they say. The Manila Board of Trade has sent a memorial here. They want the coolies let in over there. Of course they do. I have not a particle of doubt that a company that had a hundred thousand dollars or a million dollars or more that would operate in the Philippines and exploit the Philippines could make more money with Chinese coolies than with anybody else. But the Filipinos do not want them in the Philippine Islands. Why?
