It is apparent that such an exchange would be very popular in the United States and the only question in the minds of most of the men with Whom your cor er the islands much more valuable than her West Indian possessions can possibly b0 - It is believed that Great Britain would insist on retaining possession of some of the strongest strategic points in the West Indies, but the United States would be perfectly willing to have her do so, while this country would retain a strong naval base in the Philippines. Represen tative Newlandis of Nevada, a member of the committee on foreign affairs, says he is heartily in favor of the proposition to exchange the American interest in the Philippines for the English possessions in the West Indies. "I do not know how the proposition came up or do I know that England would consent to such an exchange as is suggested,' he said. "For my part, I have always contended that if we pro pose to enter upon a policy of expansion, the most desirable field for us to enter is directly south of us, in the West Indies, If we are going to expand we should ex pand by taking as much territory that we can obtain that is contiguous to our own country. I have never believed and I am not prepared to believe now that it is the intention of the present administra tion t0 enter u,1on a P ol: ' lC - v n( ' Permanent respondent has talked is whether Great Britain could be induced to part with tißi- wret mflinn nnmsoinn, Tt Is sn". hei Vest Indian po. estons. It is sug ge-sted,however,that the possession of the Philippines would give Great Britain such an advantage in the far east where the rivalry between European nations for trade is so sharp that she might consid profit to ns and it will take expansion in the Philippines That ter litory is too remote to he of practicable! profit to us and it will take several gen- I erations to leach tHe people of those ieï- | Ian's to understand and appreciate our foi m of free government. I '; In the West Indies an entirely differ ent condition of affairs exists. The peo pie in the M est Indus are to a certain - extent familiar w.th our system of gov ernmen-t and our liusiness institutions so that they could readily adapt them- j selves to our ways if the occasion requir ed them to < xist under a free government. I Of course what I am saving is purely in a speculative way, for I have not the i slightest idea that England would con ^? nt to «change her valuable West Tn dian possessions for tlie- unexplored ar.n, to my mind, uncertain commercial ad vantages supposed to prevail in the Phil ippines. From a practical standpoint and in the interest of the American people T hesitancy in saying that (lie h possessionis in the West Indies would lie far more profitable to us com mercially and to safeguard us in case of a foreign war, than tlie far-away Phil ippine islands." Senator MeOomas of Maryland was among the callers at the whiteh ouse to day. He is not inclined to regard ser iously the proposition to exchange the British islands in the West Indies for tlie Philippine s'. "I have seen the suggestion made in the Herald," he said, "but T am quite sure that the subject has never been present have nr English ed to either government in official form, i hence it is hardly debatable. It is not j likely that England would agree to such i an exchange even if it should lie propos- ] ed in the regular channels of diplomacy, She fully appreciates the commercial and j the strategic value of her West Indies territory and it is preposterous to even imagine that she would he willing to part with her islands in exchange for the Phil lipplr.es. -T have never heard the subj. i t mentioned in administration circles and T do not consider such an exchange as a re U 1 ' si t b,l,ty r " Ex-Member of Congress McCreary of Kentucky, who was chairman of the com mittee on foreign affairs when the demo crats were last in control of the house, discussed the suggestion of an exchange of territory between England and tlie United States, while at the white house today. "The proprosition for the«Un ; ted States to transfer her interests In the Philip pines to England." he said. "In return for the relinquishment of the queen's sover eignty over certain islands in the West indies is a very interesting question. Tt is a subject which I have not heard ad vanned until I saw it in the Herald. T ;lm aware tbat England is very enter prising in her efforts to extend her trade and broaden her territorial possessions. Whether she would he willing to give her valuable possessions in the Wqst Indies in exchange for the Philippines is a ques t' on 1 aiT1 not prepared to answer. We ave to jfi that England desires to extend he r trade In the far east. For that matter she believes in reaching out in every di rection when H le thought to be to her interest to do so. Her possessions in the West Indies have always been regarded as of griat commercial advantage to her in connection with her trad America If the United Plates is going to ex- ! pand, it plight lie to our advantage to ac quire .additional territory nearer home than the Philippines. 1 am not in the confidence of the present administration concerning its foreign policy but 1 fancy the president will undertake to follow up the ideas set forth in that proclamation of the Philippine commission. Having embarked in the expansion business in that direction, he will probably feel that his policy should be given a. fair trial be fore experimenting with any other pro position. Under the cireumstancs I am inclined to believe that President .McKin ley will press forward on the lines laid down by the commission with the hope and expectation of a satisfactory solution of this problem.'' with THE MEMBERS ARE NAMED Berlin, April G.—When United States | Ambassador Andrew D.
