SOME FACTS AND FANGIES ABOUT * THE PHILIPPINES There Has Bmuw Misrepresentation in America About - People and Conditions. -~ By MAXS;—O—;. KALAW, Secretary of the Philippine Mission.

Ascertaln lady at the St.. Louils Exposition saw at 2 ballroom a brown complextoned man In faultless evening dress and seccosted him with the Inquiry, “1 suppose you are Japanese, sir?” The wman addressed replled, *“No, madam.” “Then you must be - Chinese,” she said. ' A “No, 1 am npol

o S g 7 - - - itk - 4 \ LYy s 4 CorNEPNITY Maximo M. Kalaw,

I am a.Filipino,” he replied. - “How's that?" asked the lady. *1 thought they were all savages living o the woods™ = i :

~“Well, I'll tell you how 1 came here,” he said. *“A month before 1 left the Philippines I.was living in the woods, but the American Governor decided to catch as many wild men as possibje, train them and send them over here. So here 1 am, just as you see.” And the St Louis lady actually believed him, R

That is what you would call fancies about the Philippines. The fact Is, however, that the 11,000,000 Filipinos and their ancestors have been civilized and Christians for 300 years; that the non-Christian population, nccording to the census of 1018, is only 500,000, and even these are not all uncivilized.

Another faney is that not until the coming of the Americans were school buildihgs seen in the Islands, roads built, or substantial houses erected, Do you know that for hundreds of years the Filipinos have had colleges and schools and that the University of Santo Tomas is only twenty-five years older than Harvard? That as early as 1868, out of a population of 4,000,000 people, there were 841 schools for boys and 833 for girls? That in 1892, eight vears before the coming of the Americans, ghere were 2,137 schools?

“To grant self-government to Luzon ‘nder Aguinaldo wguld be like granting self-government to an Apache reservation under some local chief.” Thus spoke a former President of the United States during the Filipino-Awmerican war. Exaggeration could be an excuse at a time when the dignity of the Americun people demanded the extinction of Filipino opposition, but do you know that the Philippine Republic, before the American occupation of the Islands, bhad the approval of prominent Americans who were on the spot—like John Barrett, Director of the Pan-American Union, who compared it favorably with the Japanese government? That- Admiral ‘Dewey considered the Filipinos better fitted for self-government than the Cubans? That they had drafted a constitution at Malalos which elicited the approval of distinguished Repub{icans like the late Seuator George F. Hoar? That before the coming of the Americans they had produced national heroes like the martyred Jose Rizal, pronounced by a Republican congressman, Representative Cooper, _as the noblest victim that has ever fallen into the clutches of tyranny? :

- And do you know that the Filipinos have not had for hundreds of years any caste system, blood distinction or royal families, and that, unlike their oriental sisters, they are the only Christian people in the orient? - :

People have pictured an ignorant’ mass of Filipinos, illiterate, poor, living a life of servitude for a few | wealthy land owners and foreigners, ! with no houses or farms or. property of their own. Do you know that 70 per cent. of the people above ten years ; of age can read and write and that this percentage of literacy is almost as high as some of the states of the Union? That it is higher than In any country of South America, higher than the literacy of the Spanish people, and unquestionably above that of any of the rnew countries recognized in Europe? Do you know that there are a million and a half farms In the Philippines and that 96 per cent. of these farms are owned by Filipinos. In other words, that out of the 11,000,000 Christian Filipinos, 8,000,000 of them at least live cn their own farms, with houses of their own, independent of any nbsentee !andlord or foreign master? That 91 per cent. of the urban property consisting of houses and lands is owned hy the natives of the Philippines, and only 9 per cent. is in the hands of foreigners? Yet these are fucts cabled by Acting Governor Charles Emmett Yeater to the War Department from the recent census estimates, ¢ . Having solemnly promised the Fillpinos their independence and having _gone before the world as the champion of self-determination, the Filipino people cannot understand how America can consistently refuse to make good CLIMATE OF. THE PHILIPPINES. The Philippine Islands have a mildiy tropical climate. The nights are temperature record for the past thirty years shows an average of 80 degrees. .
