DOMINION PLAN t" FOR PHILIPPINES

AWS ATTACK

Maj. Gen. ‘Rivers Disapproves of Suggestion Made by Megs,

Times Special . WASHINGTON, Aug. 24—The suggestion of High Commissioner McNutt of the Philippines that’ the United States might accord the islands dominion status, rather than

, independence as now provided, drew

oppoistion today from Maj. Gen. William C. Rivers, U, S. A., retired. Gen. Rivers is a veteran of the Spanish-American and World Wars and had long service in the Philippines. He expressed his views in an open letter, commenting on the Aug. 13 broadcasts from Manila of President Quezon and Commissioner McNutt. It was the first speech in years in which Mr. Quezon failed to mention independence, Gen. Rivers wrote. He also cited Mr. McNutt’s talking about our trade with the Philippines and pointed out the failure to state that from a trade standpoint the islands have been a loss to the United States. : “Our trade with Japan is much greater than’ that with China and the Philippines combined,” Gen.

. Rivers asserted. “Also, the balance

is favorable to America. “The existing Act for Independence ought to be carried out. The suggestion of Commissioner McNutt to revoke the law and hold the islands permanently as a dominion is a mistake.

1 . Points to Racial Difference

“There has never been a dominion where both countries had the full right of suffrage and where they were different in race. Trade privileges for the Philippines after 1946 should be granted, but by means of treaties.” Commenting on the tactical problem involved in U. S. protection of the Philippines against Japan, Gen. Rivers wrote: -*I believe tha} some of the Western nations are living in a land of dreams when they contemplate a resumption of their own control over the ports and territories of China after the war in the Orient is over. “Whether Japan or China. wins, the Western countries will learn that the affairs of the Orient are to be arranged by the people who live in the Orient.

Cites Leahy Opinion

“The clear opinions of Admiral Leahy illuminated the general strategy of the North Pacific. They have a bearing on our foreign policy. The Admiral said to the Vinson committee: “‘“The Navy which America now has and the Navy which it will have when it is increased by the authority contained in this bill will be seriously inadequate to: the task of sending a naval force to the Philippines.’ “An important statement of the Chief of Naval Operations was also that ‘the defensive line of the American Navy at the present time reaches from the Aleutian Islands to the Hawaiian Islands, to Samoa and to the Canal. There is also in the Atlantic a defensive line dhat runs from the Canal to the Virgin Islands to the coast of Maine.’ ”
