When Dewey steamed into Manila
Bay in August, 1808, Aguinaldo, lead.
er of the Filipinos in their revolution
against Spanish rule, then in exile in
Hongkong, said: "The Americans,
_ -not from mercenary motives, but for
the .sake of humanity and the lamentations
of so many persecuted -people
have considered it opportune to
extend their protection mantle to our
beloved country." This book shows
not- only how j completely Aguinaldo,
but the American people, were fooled.
?xUn February of die following year
Aguinaldo found that his army had
conquered the Spanish ^forces only
that the United States might rule
v his land autocratically. How the Amreican
people were taken in, how
_ little tney unqersioou me commercial
interests back of the war, how the war
news was censured, all this and much
_ more is shown in "The Conquest of
- the Philippines."
The Conquest of the Philippines is
one more tragedy of imperialism. But
fortunately-the-story Is not completed.
There is a strong sentiment in this
country favoring independence for thfe
Filipinos. Every colored citizen, and
everyone believing in the rights of
"people irresponsive of color, should
tr- read this voHume thatrhe may be a*
hie t" VAt? intelligently should the
issue come before him. The story is
teld-quietly, dispassionately,-the most
of its data taken from Americifh sources.
How we turned our forces against
the Filipinos who had recently fought
? (,[\v buttle^, how McKinluy manipu-'
lated Congress, how brutal Was our
warfare, how we looted and tortured,
and established reconcentration camps
that were as bad as the Spaniards in
Cuba, all this many'wW-learn from
this book for the /first time. Law

the Filipinos': "These men are indomi*
table. 'Such men have y. right to be
heard. 'All they want is a little justice."
. But the people of the Upited
States were^ not .jjerjrilllUll Lu glvu

so censured that they never understood
what was happening. To them
it was a gorilla warfare, American soldiers

' credit is given to ..our introduction of
modern education, of health work, of
the building of good roads, we also
learn (lfow mucK the Filipino had to
pay. His taxes scoured the whole
field *>f business and would se6m intolerable
to an' American at home.
Out.side of Italy it would be hard to
find so exactijng a system. The
, planter was considered little, /the
American shipper, much. But thru
all our greed and tyranny would come
words such as these from Roosevelt:
~ "No great civilized power has ever
managed with such wisdom and such
disinterestedness the affairs of the
people committed b$-ihe acqident of
war into their hands.
It is with the principle of forcible
annexation, that Hlr. Storey most

?If foreign capital gooo thoro in in
creasing amounts, as it inevitably will
the Filipino should be independent
and the capitalist should realize that
it is upon the native government that
it must depend for security. As for
? protection* of our navy and army in
?? case of war, "the Filipinos have not
forgotten that when their .peace was
at last endangered during the world
war orders were given to the U. S.
. ?l military and naval forces to leave the

?One cannot ask the question, when
thinking of Philippine independence,
whether it woul be any more real if
