More from De Alexander
A keen, exhaustive and merciless criticism of the whole Philippine experiment....
More valuable still is his exposition of the Philippine question in its bearings on American life and politics.
He writes of the Filipinos as he found them, and with the knack of the true investigator, has avoided falling in with the political views of any party or faction.
Enlightened and persuasive discussion of the negro problem in its present phases and aspects.
