To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
80 PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS settlement of so embarrassing a question was worth all the sacrifice that the most pessimistic critics could see in this method of adjustment. I have asserted that this is the only just and statesman-like policy. We do not want to deprive the religious orders of any property to which they hold a valid title; under the terms of the treaty of Paris, we could not if we would. But they have at least as much interest in selling as we have in buying.
For the discontent of the Fi...lipinos which we wish to aUay, the disappointment which we aim to solace, are expressions of that same mental attitude which led to expulsion and persecution of the friars- and confiscation of their property. The friars can never again be happy or prosperous in their estates; the Filipinos will never be contented so long as they hold them. Common sense and justice alike prescribe" the course to be adopted: purchase by the government and sale in small holdings preferably to the present tenants.
In November, 1899, I first suggested this policy in the Outlook* and, as I have said, I have been proclaim- ing it by pen and voice with a good deal of insistency ever since.
