The paper adds : I "Europe certainly was not pleased , nt the exchange of SpanIsh for Annerl- . can domination In the PhilippInes , but the latter is a thousand times more agreeable than to see Japan Installed there , where It would be a constant menace to Europe's AsIatic Interests. England wlll have to look well to Its position In IndIa , France to IndoChina . China and even Holland to Ja.va. The only consolation Is that the cessIon may keep Japan quIet for a number of years.
