of the United States in clearer light
than some Americans. 4,One good
feature of the present foreign polic
of the United States," says the Ber
lin Post, "cannot be denied, namely:
The marching forward, careless ot
-what other powers say. The f ramers
of this policy are displaying such
activity that those of other countries
cannot follow them. . The most
characteristic feature of American
expansion is the effort to get com
mand of the future commercial high
ways of the world." The Post ad
mits that the later steps in this pro
gram have taken the world by sur
prise, and predicts that further sur
prises are in store. -
Benjamin Kidd, the celebrated
English economist, in an article in
the December Atlantic, calls the at
tention of Europe to what struck him
as a most remarkable manifestation of
a people's faith. In traveling through
the Western states just after the close
of the war between Spain and the
United States, he found the question
of annexation or control of the Philip
pines under discussion ever3'where.
When he asked a man in Illinois, or
Iowa, or Nebraska, or Kansas wb3' he
favored the annexation of the Philip
pines the answer was, Because we
ouht to have them. The people
everywhere seemed to believe that
providence had opened the door to
possession of the Philippines, and
that as a matter of national conscience
and duty we must bold them. They
believed . further that ' it was ihe
destiny of the nation to go forward
in the Pacific. They didn't care to
answer arguments against annexation
in detail. They simply put the ques
' tion of argument aside with the state
ment of their belief in the destiny of
the country and an earnest declara
tion of their faith.
Mr. Kidd is an Englishman who
has studied the English people. in
every grade of social life and in
very phase of political excitement
and development. He warns England
and the rest of Europe that this be
lief of the American people in the
destiny of the nation is a most potent
factor in the development of the
United States. He points out that
-when a people have decided in their
own minds that there is a great destiny
before their country the nation itself
"will be propelled irresistibly along
the line marked out. He found the
western people not disposed to criti
cise, not inclined to split hairs or
quibble, but ready on every occasion
to put In words their faith in the
greater future of their country.
President McKinley found this
same strong faith, this same courage,
this unwavering belief in a great
destiny when he made his western
tour. The Germans in Berlin, the
Russia ds in St. Petersburg, the Eng
lishmen in London, the Frenchmen
in Paris, are discovering the same
element of strength. It is not only
he administration or the government
that is going forward ; it is the Amer
ican people, resolute and progressive,
believing in their destiny.
This is the result of an investiga
tion in America by one of the most
observant of English publicists and
writers, and his observations are in
accord with those of men who have
had opportunity of meeting the peo
ple face to face. We are going for
ward to the control of the West
Indies, to the control of the Philip
pines, to the control of the Pacific,
to a wider sphere of actipn, because
it is our destiny. Inter-Ocean.
