The excerpt from an American paper'a article on the Philippines,| which we printed on Saturday, contains a deal of sound sense on which Americans both in the East and in the United States might do well to meditate. The article suggests what has always seemed to us the two courses between which Washington should choose, once and for all, either the! abandonment of the Islands or else the absolute control of them. It the Americans had had more ex- perience in colonisation they would know that there is no room for half-measures where this kind of thing is concerned. Colonisation is a question of "take it or leave it." It is not for us to decide, bat there is no harm in saying that it is the general British opinion in Hongkong and Singapore that Americs has assomed too much and too little responsibility in this case. Perhaps it is that unauthorised persons have been allowed to talk too much and to promise to the Filipinge what they had no right to promise and Our wire of yesterday says that Mr. Lloyd George's retort to have no power to perform.
