There the Chinese form a large proportion of the population. Their presence has been deemed desirable. and no restriction is placed upon their admission. The English people are well known to be shrewd and good colonizers. and if Chinese immigration were objectionable. they would have stopped it long ago. But instead of doing that. they have held out every inducement to Chinese to come to their colonies. because they know by experience that Chinese are useful to them. It is not for me to say what policy should he adopted by the American Government for the Philippine Islands. but apart from other considerations. and looking solely to the interests of the archipelago. it would seem to be a suicidal policy. from a statesmans point of view. to prohibit the entrance of Chinese labor into those islands.
