“The Philippines are ours forever...And just beyond the Philippines are China's illimitable markets. We will not retreat from either... We will not abandon our opportunity in the orient. We will not renounce our part in the mission of our race, trustee, under God, of the civilization of the world. And we will move forward to our work...with gratitude...and thanksgiving to almighty God that He has marked us as His chosen people, henceforth to lead the regeneration of the world. ...Our largest trade henceforth must be with Asia. The Pacific is our Ocean... ... And the Pacific is the ocean of the commerce of the future... The power that rules the Pacific, therefore is the power that rules the I world. And, with the Philippines, that power is and will forever be the American Republic...” • Senator Alfred Beveridge
