Catholic Church and U.S. Rule in the Philippines

The United States minister to Spain, while at Geneva, Switzerland, October 14, spoke of a recent interview with the pope, as follows:—

Since Archbishop Ireland’s visit to the Vatican, it is clearly understood there that the best interests of the Roman Catholic Church demand American rule in the Philippines. The United States and the Roman Catholic Church have the same aims there, and hope to work together for order and peace.

And when the United States and the Catholic Church “have the same aims,” and “work together” in the Philippines, how long will it be before they will do the same thing in the United States itself?
