But over in Asia we find almost an entirely :new and comparatively unoccupied field. and therefore President Taft in his wisdom is directing the efforts of the State Department. with the purpose of securing advantages that can be obtained in no other part of the earth. rt will be of much assistance to him in the development of his foreign policies that this great international fair should be held at San Francisco. Every land of Asia will send its representatives there in far greater numbers and with far greater freedom than they would to any other place. and because of the friendship and familiarity that will grow out of the comingling of our people and the orientals at this exposition. should it be held at San Francisco. lasting results may be secured for the Nation. results and advantages that could not be secured by the location of this fair at any other city of America. I believe. then. that from this high ground. looking upon this whole subject not from the standpoint of locality or the peculiar necessities of a city or State. or from the ease or cheapness with which our own people could travel to the exposition. but rather looking upon the whole subject from the broad standpoint of nationality and the greatest good to the greatest number of American people. looking upon it from the viewpoint of the assistance it will give President Taft in developing his Asiatic policy. San Francisco should be the choice of the American Congress. and Congress should instruct the President to invite the nations of the world to meet at San Francisco to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal in 1915.
