Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on the Foreign Policy of the United States Suggested by the War With Spain
The passive duty of the United States is clearly foreshadowed. The Philippines ought not to be annexed, because the considera tions which discourage the annexation of Cuba, lying at our very door, are absolutely prohibitive in the case of territory six thousand miles over sea, and peopled by millions of barbarians.
Our passive duty in respect of the Philippines and other terri tory over sea is commended by our established policy we neither covet possessions beyond America nor permit foreign nations to aggrandize their domains at the expense of American States.
