The Problem In The Philippines Speech Of Henry Moore Teller, Of Colorado, In The Senate Of The United States (1902)

The Problem in the Philippines is a speech delivered by Henry Moore Teller, a senator from Colorado, in the United States Senate in 1902. The speech addresses the issue of American imperialism and the United States' involvement in the Philippines, which had been a Spanish colony until the Spanish-American War. Teller argues that the United States should not be involved in the affairs of the Philippines and that the people of the Philippines should be allowed to govern themselves. He criticizes the policies of President Theodore Roosevelt and the military occupation of the Philippines, arguing that they are a violation of the principles of the United States Constitution and the ideals of democracy. The speech is a powerful critique of American imperialism and a call for a more principled foreign policy. It remains a significant document in the history of American foreign relations and political thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
