Why. gentlemen. stop and think that the Philippine Islands were in the shadow of the oriental nations for 300 years. protected by nothing more substantial than the ramshackle power of the Spanish rule. Yet they were not molested. The Philippine Islands are i a climate that does not suit either tile Japanese immigrant or the Chinese immigrant. if I am properly advised. and for.three or four hundred years they have stayed there in close proximity to those islands. and there have been comparatively few immigrants either from China or from Japan. But. gentlemen. let us suppose just for a moment. that the people who seem to conjure up a fear that some day In the future we will have to go to war with Japan are right. where do you think that battle ground would be set if we own the Philippines at that time. The Philippine Islands would be the battle ground.
