Westward the star of empire marches on
Chicago dispatch quotes Senator Beveridge defending American expansion in the Philippines. He argues the empire advances under liberty and law, cites Jefferson and Marshall, defends white governance of tropical lands, opposes separate Cuban rule as a mistake, and warns that a premature withdrawal from the Philippines would destabilize the region while asserting the United States will keep Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines for ever.
