SummaryResumen
The *Washington daily news* published an editorial criticizing American assertions of non-imperialism, pointing to U.S. control across the Caribbean and Pacific, including customs administration in the Dominican Republic and marine occupation in Haiti. The piece derided official claims of purely benevolent motives while exercising regional dominance. It argued that Washington's treatment of its dependencies, particularly the curtailment of self-rule in the Philippines under General Leonard Wood, contradicted its anti-imperialist rhetoric.

Sostuvo que el trato que Washington daba a sus dependencias, en particular el menoscabo de la autonomía en Filipinas bajo el general Leonard Wood, contradecía su retórica antiimperialista.

“You say you are not imperialistic,” it jeers. And it sticks
its tongue in its cheek and looks at the Philippines and Porto
Rico and Hawaii and Guam and the Virgin Islands; at our vir
tual protectorate over Cuba and the Republic of Panama; at
our control of the customs of the Dominican Republic and Haiti,
and our occupation of the latter country by marines; at our
hegemony, as they call it, over Central and much of South
America.
And reviewing it all, it asks insinuatingly:
“What are you up to in all those places?”
“Just protecting the interests of the unfortunate peoples,”
we say.
“Oh!” says the world, winking prodigiously!
WELL, a showdown is approaching. The Philippines may well
be the test case. And the case of the Philippines is this:
Congress officially promised the Filipinos their freedom as
soon as they proved they could govern themselves. Gov. Gen.
Harrison from 1916 to 1921 gave them a chance, and they did a
pretty good job. And President Wilson in 1920 told Congress

Then bang!
Something happened.
