hns shown a disposition to get at the bottom of the whole controversy and weigh the evidence presented by both sides. In the absence of Mr. Dover, who is on a tour of Inspection of the custohin 9 service on the Pacific coast. It was said the President called in his appointees to get their views. Mr. Dover is expected back in Washington June 3. Meanwhile it was said he has wired to his friends here. The rupture in the relations between Mr. Dovpr and Mr. Blair has become so serious that it is believed the President can no longer remain aloof. The outcome of the quarrel was a matter of wide speculation in official circles. Should the President determine to take a definite stand in the matter, which many high Administration officials believe lie must, his decision may have a far-reach-ing effect. liei-atise Secretary Mellon hns stood firmly behind Mr. Blair throughout his controversy with Mr. Dover, it was pointed out that Mr. Mellon Is sure to stand by his aid. On the other hand Mr. Dover -ame to his present position with strong olltieal backing, including that of Attorney General Daugherty and a powerful gioup of Senators. Should the President uphold the ousting of his friends say his position would be untenable. Friends of Mr. Blair snv that he lias been assured by Mr. Mellon that he would quit the Cabinet .n the event Mr. Blair was ever forced to resign. In the event the President j lelded to the requests of Dr. Dover's political friends and asked for Mr. Blair's resignation and Mr. Mellon should quit the Cabinet many well-informed officials believed the treasurp portfolio would ho offered to Gen.

PHILIPPINES’ INDEPENDENCE IS FAR DISTANT Both President and Secretary of War Stand Firmly Back of Forbes’ Report. Special to Indiana Daily Tim** and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, May 23.—Independence for the Philippines or a change in the administration of the Islands which would Jeopardize American holdings now, or in the future, is not on the program of the Government. Both President Harding and Secretary Weeks stand squarely back of the Wood-Forbes report on the Philippines and In opposition to the independence movement. The Government's view doubtless will be communicated to the Filipino mission, which Is expected In the United States shortly to urge Independence. Administration leaders are convinced that the welfare of the Islands demands a continuation of American control. “What the Philippines need most of all Is capital for the development of the Island's resources." said Secretary Weeks teday. “American capital will not go out there unless a definite policy is maintained and assurance given of stable conditions. The best thing the Filipinos could do for themselves Is to advocate that the United States remain ill the Philippines for the next twentylive of fifty years. Such an attitude on the part of the natives would go a long way toward bringing capital and enterprise to the Islands.” The Secretary of War said that thus far he has not received n communication from the members of the American Chamber of Commerce in Manila, reiterating tlie recent declaration of their directors thnt the territorial government Is essential to the Islands, owing to the fact thta they are part of the American pub lie domain wherein investments were made in good faith. Secretary Weeks indicated, however, that present Amerl can investments in the island had nothing to fear from any purchase pollcj likely to be adopted by the present Administration.
