After that long period the races emerged from that contact praetically free from the blood of each other. the Filipinos being more than 99 per cent pure in race and color. England has been in India for 150 years and administering a government over 300.000.000 of black men. and the gulf socially between them is wider and deeper than eVer. and If England did not recognize this antagonism to exist. and that the time is coining when she will need Japan to protect her interests in India. why the alliance that now maintains? Antagonism of color and races will not permit an American or Europeans to be merged with an Asiatic. The chasm exists everywhere and is without fathom. I believe that those distinctions are as lasting as the races themselves. and no temporary government. no creed. no trade will eradicate it. hence the Impossibility of unifying the brown man of the Philippines with the AngloSaxon of this Republic in our institutions. our morals. and in our civilization.
