WASHINGTON. iMay 2d The
whole country is watching Oregon
Will she declare on June 41 h for or
against the development of Pacific
commerce and trade? Will Oregon show
the Eastern states thai she is not un
mindful of our vast trans-Pacific op
portunity? -Will she lead the tray,
throughout the section which has Hie
greatest interest ' at stake. . in . urging
upon the rest of the United States that
there must be no faltering, first, in
courageously meeting our unavoidable
moral responsibilities hi the Philippines
and, second, in developing our conse
quent material interests m all the Far
' East? ;
- The verdict of Oregon on these vital
issues is eagerly awaited in New Eng
land, in the Middle states, in the South,
, and in the Central West. All taese
! sections expect Oregon on June 4th
to declare hcrse.r either tor progress
or stagnation: and, a Oregon decides,
i accordingly will be her standing anr rc
' putation in- the other chief divisions of
the country which have not actually
as much concern in our future Asiatic
' policy as the Pacific coast. 'May I sug
! gest that I speak advisedly and from
personal contact, for; while discussing
the, question of our! Pacific develop
ment by special invitation before ail
classes of people, laborers as weU as
capitalists, in nearly every state, 1 be-.
lieve there have been unusual facilities
afforded me for ascertaining public
fcerrtiment. In this connection it is r.o
exaggeration to state! that, as the real
truth is known in regard to our posi
tion in the Philippines and our oppor
tunities in the Orient! opinion is grow
in? in favor not only of keeping our
flag in the Philippines, but of becom
ing masters of the Pacific sens and the
Oriental markets.- j 4
Effect of Oregon's Decision.
If Oregon's decision is negative: she
cannot expect the East and South ,tu
heartily respond to, her invitations to
co-operate in mighty enterprises and
in broad policies thai) will bring perma-t
nent prosperity to the Pacific coast
Can Oregon logically ask Congress to
appropriate money for the improvement
of the Columbia. Willamette, and other
rivers within her borders, if she anr
nounces, on June 4th that she is op
posed to the fullest development of
. trade, on the Pacific ocean to which j
these rivers are tributary? Can Ore
gon, logically expect Congress to order
the further dredging cj the Columbia
river, bar and thrise, of other Oregon
harbors, if she. elects men to Congress
on June 4th who would erect an in
superable barrier t our" comisnerce
with Asia by withdrawincr our flac
I natural geographical; center, of that
mighty coast line thai winds in and out
j Australia, to Vladiv&stock in Siberia.
My views, in other wbrds. on rhe Phil
ippines, China, Siamf, Japan, and our
policy towards thera lare the inevitable
conclusions of long jcareful study, and
any other Oregonian. who has been
f-imilarly placed, would feel as deeply

improving every Icgjtamate opportunity
to the fullest extent. ) The act that my
name has "been mentioned in connec
tion with .the proposed Asiatic Com
mission has not prejudiced . my views
because they were opjettly stated before
such a commission was ever suggested,
and every one in. Vfashington knows
that I have sought fo-favor whatever
trom this administration. The sucees
tion of my name for the commission
ha come from the business , interests

- God knows, that if the United States
falters in the present crisis, we shall
be laggards until dtomslav. If we
halt, every European country will forge
correspondingly ahead. If 1 0regon
t the pace in faltering and halting, it

it. wcetner we sna-u become the su
preme moral and material influence in

France, and even Japan. If suppres
sion of the Philippine insurrection costs
us millions, the sum- is small compared
to the immeasurable cost of a future
war to regain the prestige .and com
merce in the Pacific which we would
now lose by withdrawing our flag and
forces from the Philippines.

The citizens committee submitted a
proposition tor a settlement of the

employes ' immediately, and not less '
than 500 additional of them within 90
days after the proposition is accepted.
