PEACE COMMISSIONER'S VIEWS
BUSINESS LOCALS.
A full history of the various stages
of Ihe treaty from those who made it
can not be expected just now, but
some of the American commissioners
shed additional light upon the nego
tiations. Senator Frye touches on
the testimony bearing on Spanish
cruelties in the Philippines, a subject
concerning which little was heard
outside during the deliberations at
Paris. It was a delicate theme with
the treaty still pending. But it had
great weight with the American
members in making the fiDal demand
for all the Philippines. The evidence
is complete that Spanish authority in
the islands had become an atrocity of
the worst kind. In recent years the
regions held by the Spandiards had
been an inferno. Torture and medi
aeval cruelty were a common matter.
This was proved by the records pre
served by prisoners and by photo
graphs of scenes of wholesale public
executions. Witnesses apppeared
personally before the American mem
bers and piled up the proof until it
became irresistible. Senator Frye
compares the hoi rors to those of the
inquisition. Our commissioners could
not doubt their duty in the premises,
and few will be left to disagree with
them when all the facts are known.
It soon became evident to the
American commissioners that turn
ing the Philippines, or any part of
them, back to Spain was simply im
possible. Senator Frye does not be
lieve that any American in possession
of the evidence could consent to it.
Nor does he think that there can be
many who would divide the group
among our commercial competitors.
The idea of selling it does not appeal
to his judgment. He is convinced
that we shall keep the Philippines,
and that by just treatment almost the
entire population will be "an intelli
gent, industrious, prosperous, self-
sustaining and contented people."
Possibly at the end of 100 years; or
some other long educational period,
they might, in bis opinion, be ad-
- . .
mitted to statehood. The treaty
leaves us with free hands to hoi J the
group in our own way, or, for that
matter, to dispose of it. But that it
will be sold, transferred by partition,
traded or abandoned is scarcely con
ceivable. It will be worth more to
us than to others. It is plainly a
national element in our commercial
future, and came into our hands by a
natural and perfectly honorable se
quence of events. To falter in their
acceptance would be a confession of
national weakness somewhere.
Senator Frye touches upon a point
that will be noted by the people with
increasing interest as the duties of
the future untold. "If we give the
Philippines a good government," he
says, "there will be little difficulty.
If we do not send carpet-baggers and
political hacks and adventurers with
an eye to making money there to
govern this people ; if we show wis
dom and sincerity of purpose there
will be no serious difficulty in the
government." Similar words of cau
tion were spoken by Col. Roosevelt a
few nights ago at a New England
dinner in Brooklyn. He said : "We
must send only our best men leav
ing them unhampered as far as pos
sible exacting results, but giving
them liberty in attaining those results.
If we treat those islands as the spoil
of the politicians, we shall tread again
the path that Spain trod so shame
fully." The administration may be
trusted to maintain its high level in
this as in other respects. J. bat is a
matter of American honor, honesty
and capacity. And so is the ques
tion of retaining the Philippines.
There is no creditable way to give
them up.
