ISLAND RICHES TOO TEMPTING, SAYS His Letter Discloses Why Philippines Can Not Be Left Undefended. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ScriDDs-Howard Foreicn Editor WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Why I the Philippines car- not reasonably expect to maintain their independence for long is clearly revealed in a letter received via the China Clipper from Roy W. Howard. chairman of the board of the Scripps-Howard Newspapers. The territory is far too rich to be left undefended, he holds. For under the new order of things in the Far East—w-here might has again become the-law—the Filipinos alone can not hope to hold out power against far more powerful neighbors. Back in Manila from an airplane flight covering 1700 miles above Lu%on. Mindoro, Panav, Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Masbate and Mindanao, largest of all the islands, Mr. Howard expressed amazement over what he had seen. “Viewing the thing from the air,” he said, “I got the first concept that I have ever obtained of the tremendous fertility, richness and at the same time lack of development or exploitation of the Philippines. “Rice, corn, tobacco, cotton, rubber, coffee, tropical fruits, hemp, sugar—all kinds of agricultural products—can be produced, much on boundless tracts which require no clearing and where the soil needs little more in the way of treatment than the ministrations of a plowshare. Could Support 100 Millions “I am told, too, that preliminary surveys have also shown great possibilities in the way of mineral deposits. Enough success has attended oil exploration work to justify Standard Oil in closing a big contract here last week. “In the larger island of Mindanao we flew over tremendous tracts of marvelous grazing land that is practically unknown except to those who have seen it from the air. At other spots on the same island we flew over miles of unexplored forests of valuable hardwood into which no white man has ever penetrated. “Having flown over most of Japan, and over most of these islands, I would venture the unscientific, layman guess that if the Philippines were developed agriculturally to approximately the state that Japan is developed, they could support a native population of 100 mililon to 125 million people in a much greater degree of prosperity than is enjoyed by any other Far Eastern people.” Japanese Group Restless Patently the present situation can not endure too long, Mr. Howard holds. The granting of virtual independence has satisfied political ambitions. Now the new situation in the orient spells danger. With the right of self-determination in their hands, therefore, the Filipinos will almost surely ask to remain un-

Bonham and Dave Thompson. der the American flag or approach the British with a similar request. How easily foreign intervention might suddenly burst thunderlike upon the islands is indicated by the present Filipino-Japanese quarrel in the province of Davao. Davao is in the southeastern corner of the amazingly rich island of Mindanao. It is at the head of the magnificent Gulf of Davao, as fine a harbor as Manila Bay. It is one of the richest hemp-growing areas in the world. Situation Has ‘Makings’ There have settled a colony of 20,000 Japanese. More are coming in. These hold land under leaseleases made prior to the present law forbidding such sales or leases to foreigners. The law is evaded by a low class of native who sublease to the Japanese, and by other subterfuges. The Japanese colonists have ap- I pealed to Tokyo for protection, and : Tokyo has begun to speak sternly. The fate of Korea, Manchuria, Jehol and North China indicates what might happen to the Philippines, once the islands have to depend on their own little army or less than 20,000 with no navy to support it. Apparently there is no immediate danger. But the situation has “all the makings” such as the Japanese have employed in the past to justify aggression.

COUNTY ‘HOME RULE’ BACKED BY TRUSTEES McNutt Administration Is Repeatedly Attacked in Convention. (Continued From Fage One) declaration of a bitter fight should the Governor seek to adopt the provisions of the report of the committee on economy in government at the anticipated special session of the Legisalture after Jan. 1. The Real Estate Board went on record supporting the Governor when Albert E. Uhl, chairman of the board's legislative and taxation committee, made such a report at the meeting yesterday in the Washington. Speakers at the general session yesterday afternoon drove this home in repeated attacks directed at the state administration In its preliminary ground-work t-o centralize the seat of government in Indianapolis, at the anticipated extra session of the legislature. Democrat and Republican speakers alike—a number of whom in the 1933 and 1935 legislative sessions supported the McNutt policies of consolidating overlapping agencies of government—started a back-fire against the 720-page report of the Committee on Governmental Economy appointed by the Governor shortly after taking office three years ago. According to the report, most of the power in county government would be vested in the county auditor. This created resentment in 10 of the county and township officials’ groups assembled here The audi- ; tors are maintaining a hands-off attitude and refused to be placed in an embarrassing position, several of i their members said. On the other hand the remaining groups of strongly organized officials have come to the rescue of the : township trustees who are bearing I the brunt of the recommendations in the report, which entail their elimination from the state govern- | mental setup. Speakers stressed the importance | of home rule in government. The most vehement address was made bv State Senator Claude Mcßride, Jeffersonville, who said: “I am a Democrat, and I want to ! stay regular, but when they are not regular over in the Statehouse, I ! will cease to go along.” 2 SUSPECTS ARE HELD IN THEFT OF LAP ROBE Blanket Stolen From Car of William Fortune, Is Charge. Clarence Brown, 26, of R. R. 18, Box 304 B, and Robert Lakin, 23, of R. R. 17, Box 432, were held today on vagrancy charges in connection with the theft of a $75 lap robe from an auto belonging to William Fortune, 1010 N. Delaware-st. Complaint was lodged by Guy Hipes, chauffeur for Mr. Fortune, who told deputies the alleged theft took place early today near the St. Clair tavern. Flackville. Deputies recovered the robe under a culvert at i Kessler-blvd and 30th-st.
