Expansionist Vision for Manila as Western Pacific Trade Capital
In a dispatch the writer argues annexation of the Philippines would yield vast opportunities for American civilization and commerce. Manila with an immense population could surpass Hong Kong as a trade hub, as the nearby markets of China, Japan, Corea, and Southeast Asia lie within easy reach.
