The Oregonian’s Foreign Policy Program
THE Oregonian has drawn up the following program of what the United States may be required to carry out. And bear in mind that the Oregonian is heartily in favor of it all:— If England and Japan are attacked in Asia, we may have to help them out. If Germany pursues her designs on Brazil, we may have to repel her with words or war-ships. If the Filipinos continue obstreperous, we may have to keep a considerable force there. If we build an isthmian canal, we shall have to police it. If France proceeds to occupy Santo Domingo, we shall have to put her out. If Russia closes her Asiatic ports to us, we shall have to remonstrate. Some show of force may yet be necessary to secure our Alaska miners their rights, or to collect our bills from Turkey.
