We can do all that and still save hundreds of millions. It is impossible to trace it. so cleverly is it covered up. in the general appropriations. but I hold the opinion that if we could analyze all of the projects that are in this bill. if we could follow the expenditure of every dollar that goes out of the Public Treasury. we would find that not less than $75.000.000. possibly $150.000.000. a year Is squandered in the prosecution of colonial enterprises 7.000 miles beyond our Pacific coast. And I am of the opinion that If we would but divorce ourselves from political and geographical contact with the Asiatic races and come back to the American continent and mind our own business. as George Washington and other statesmen of the older days advised. we would not only operate our Government for hundreds of millions of dollars less. but that our people would be immeasurably happier and wealthier.
