England and America are fortunate in being on terms of complete international amity, but none the less has the conquest of the Philippines by the United States profoundly modified the strategical conditions as they existed in the Pacific when the islands belonged to a weak naval power like Spain. Hong Kong's population and traffic double every ten years, and no harbor has a greater tonnage.
