. Native ideas are not expansive or far- reaching. I entertain a firm conviction that any unprotected (native) United Republic would last only until the novelty of the situation had worn off ; then, I think, every considerable island would in turn declare its independence. Finally, there would be complete chaos. " (JOHN FOREMAN, July, 1898. ) This conclusion should have great weight as com- ing from a man of such authority that he was called as an expert before our Peace Commissioners at Paris ...in October, 1898, to whom he said: " The natives are decidedly incapable of forming a stable, satisfactory, and peacefully-working government. " He declared his belief that a free native government could not be administered for the real interests of the Common- 38 PRINCIPLES OF COLONIAL GOVERNMENT wealth, taking into account the rights of large minor- ities ; and that it would assume a still more corrupt form of Spanish maladministration, and result in a long period of anarchy. Thus it seems to be the concurrent testimony of our Admiral Dewey and our Philippine Commissioners and of specially qualified observers, that the Fili- pinos lack the capacity of national government ; that their capacity is limited to the management of their village communities.
