Show Holland, through finely prepared books ami maps, ia seeking to draw colonista to her richest colony, the island of Java. The facts are set forth that the scenery is unmatched, that the climate U endurable, the land good, and many other advantages advan-tages are stated! Reading the advertisement, one wonders why the government of Holland does not seek to have its own people go there. Msny thousands thou-sands of them are not earning much at home ; why not induce them to go down and develop that island and add to ita' multiplied and expensive products t Does she need all her people at home or baa ahe learned by experience that a more combative com-bative race is required to meet and turn back the opposing forces in that islandf We think our country would lend her half million of Filipinos if she wanted them. -, |
