AMERICA’S COLONIAL POLICY
Passing over the question of whether or no there is
grounds for the demand that the United States recall
Governor General Woods from the Philippines, and con
fining consideration to facts of which one has enjoyed
personal experience, such as Alaskans, there appears to
be reason to believe that America’s colonial policy lacks
many of the essentials to success. Primary among these
is democracy as conceived by those who founded the na
tion. With subject peoples of the United States democra
cy hase come to be interpreted in terms of autocracy
simply because American egotism will not permit those in
high places to vouchsafe the right of the masses of Am
erican citizenry to influence fortified minorities, a condi
tion resultant from total lack of consideration for the de
sires and ambitions of those most affected by a condition.
Either America draws its strength from co-operation
of the masses in a given line, or it relies upon a sort of
despotism to gain the same end. History has told us that
‘‘the one who deprives another of his liberty will soon
lose his own.” In this case the parent nation stands in
the light of a despot and its colonial people are those who
are deprived not only of liberties, but apparently of the
right to suggest a cure for the condition. *
Nations that have proved successful in colonial poli
cies are quick to respond to the psychology of their sub*
jects. At the first hint of dissatisfaction with the “velvet
slipper” of rulership, steps are taken to iron out the dif
ferences. If it is a Governor General who becomes ob
jectionable he is replaced by a diplomat. It is only when
it becomes necessary to apply might to suppress open or
covert assaults upon the constituted authority that this
method is resorted to.
If one can rightly interpret the Filipino dissatisfac
tion it appears to be a case of American egotism, the pro
duct of change from a co-operative democratic condition
to rulership. It would appear that as yet America has
not learned the art of applying the “velvet slipper,” but
relies too much upon the hob-nailed clog.
There is one advantage in the present weather. One
can sympathize with Hoquam and Aberdeen, Wn.
