What does Schurz believe is necessary to establish a foothold in trade Asia?

He mentioned that friendly understanding and respect toward the Phillipinos is a neccesary foothold for US to maintain trade in Asia.

He believed that the military intervention that the united states made at that time only created resentment among The Philippines. We need their cooperation rather than submission since the country connect both East Asian and the South Asian region which is really important for United States.
