According to Beveridge, Providence had a lot to do with America and the Philippines. Providence, when capitalized, it has a special meaning. Providence means God providing protective care. Beveridge believed that America couldn't back out of liberty and civilization and it couldn't let the Philippines go, because Germany, England, and Japan would gobble them up.
