What reading level is Government of the Philippines book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He said that Otis struck out of the Fresidenfs proclamation to the people those words because he thought they would create trouble, claiming the 4571 i right to the island by transfer and by right of conquest. What had we conquered? The city of Manila had been surrendered to us upon an agreement. We had not conquered another foot of the territory of the island. All the rest of the island had been conquered by the insurgents, and the Spanish power absolutely destroyed; and yet he claimed the isl...ands by conquest. We have been trying since to enforce our title. But it is said that the title came more from God than from Spain. If that is true, it is ex- pensive business clearing up the abstract. Thei-e is a great diversity of opinion as to whether a conflict with the Fili- pinos could not have been avoided if a more conciliatory course had been fol- lowed in dealing with them. I believe we came to a parting of the wavs w;hen we refused their request to leave their military force in a good strate- gic position on the contingency of our making peace with Spain without a guarantee of their independence.
