‘{perialism. In February, 1899, Rudy-

ard Kipling intervened with his poem urging the Americans to— “Take up the white man's burden— . Send forth the best ye breed— Go, bind your sons to exile . To serve your captives’ need; To wait in heavy harness On fluttered folk and wild— Your new-caught sullen peoples, Half devil and half child” Teddy Roosevelt said it was poor poetry but bully good sense. Then while the Philippine debate intensifled, and America's dilemma grew, the Filipinos themselves settled the issue: General Aguinaldo’s insure rectionists attacked Manila, Americans rallied, and two years later Augilando was captured and all the islands—not just Luzon—became U. 8. territory. Today the United States is probably the greatest sea and air power on the globe. The world’s skies are filled with our planes, the oceans with our ships and our sailors and soldiers are fighting all over the world, America has become one of the earth's big three, with responsibilities to match.
