First, as to the islands themselves. They are over a hundred thousand square miles in extent and are of the greatest richness and fertility. From these islands __ there is no tropical product which cannot be raised in abundance. __ "A much more important point is to be found in the markets which they furnish. The total value of exports and imports for 1896 amounted in round numbers to 29,000,000. __ There can be no doubt that the islands in our peaceful possession would take from us a very large proportion of their imports __ With the development of the islands and the increase of commerce and of business activity the consumption of foreign imports would rapidly advance, and of this increase we should reap the chief benefit. __ __ Manila, with its magnificent bay, is the prize and the pearl of the East.

- B3 ACTIVIT THE COLD WAR? sou RCIN IG EXCERPTS - WHO STARTED THE COLD WAR? Source 1: Excerpt from Novikov Telegram "iron cur tain"speech. This document was sent to Joseph Stalin (the leader of the Soviet Union) and other top officials at the Kremlin in 1946. Digital Arch ve, AVP SS SR, 1. 06. Op. 8, p 45, p. 759, published in Merhdunarodnaya Zhian' M1,1990, http:/'digita larchive, wilsoncenter.org/docum 1. a) US foreign policy is being pursued right now in a situation quite different from that which existed in the prewar period. __ 2. The increase in peacetime military potential and the organization of a large number of naval and air bases both in the US and beyond its borders are clear indicators of the US desire to establish world domination. For the first time in the country's history in the summer of 1946 Congress adopted a law to form a peacetime army not of volunteers but on the basis of universal military conscription. The size of the Army.which is to reach 1 million men as of i July 1947, has been considerably increased. __ The colossal growth of expenditures for the Army and Navy, comprising 13 billion in the 1946-1947 budget (about 40% of the entire budget of 536 billion) and is more than 10 times the corresponding expenditures in the 1938 budget, when it did not even reach 1 billion. These enormous budget sums are being spent along with the maintenance of a large Army, Navy,and Air Force and also the creation of a vast system of naval and air bases in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. According to available official plans, in the coming years 228 bases, support bases, and radio stations are to be built in the Atlantic Ocean and 258 in the Pacific Ocean. The majority of these bases and support bases are located outside the United States. __ All these facts clearly show that their armed forces are designed to play a decisive role in the realization of plans to establish American world domination. __ b) The current policy of the American government with respect to the USSR is also directed at limiting or displacing Soviet influence from neighboring countries. While implementing it the US is trying to take steps at various international conferences or directly in these very same countries on the one hand,manifest themselves in the support of reactionary forces in former enemy or allied countries bordering the USSR with the object of creating obstacles to the processes of democratizing these countries but, on the other, in providing positions for the penetration of American capital into their economies. __ e) All these steps to preserve the great military potential are not an end in itself.of course. They are intended only to prepare conditions to win world domination in a new war being planned by the most warlike circles of American imperialism, the timeframe for which, needless to say, no one can determine right now.
