The Filipino Question and Americas Imperial Duty
A Senate speech argues for ongoing American administration of the Philippine Islands, rejecting self government for Filipinos as impractical.

It cites democracy, duty, and national destiny as justification for continued military and civil oversight to secure order and progress.
