THE PHILIPPINE • ISLANDS TROUBLE The. ouestiou. of independence for the Philippine Islands will undoubtedly come before the next Congress in some form thav demands definite action. In 189 b the Filipinos had a republic with a constitution similar to tnat of the United States, and had practically won independence from Spain. It was the fight for independence that precipitated the revolution. When America, under President McKinley took charge of the islands it was with the distinct understanding that the people should be granted independence as soon as stability wat established. That is the question low at issue. On two occasions luri«K his last term President ,/ilsmi sent messages to Congress urging that independence >e granted. President Roosevelt xpressed his strong desire that aey be given their independence. Chief Justice Taft wai overnor of the islands for some ears and asserts that they art ntitled to independence. Gen •ral Harrison, who succeeded W. .ameron Forbes as governor genral and who in turn was replacd by General Wood, has unhesiatingly. stated that the people re entitled to independence, 'ollowing a resolution passed bv | ongress, President Harding, at ae suggestion of the War Department, appointed General eonard Wood and Mr. Forbes as v commission to investigate, re •art and recommend. re port complimented the Filipinos on their remarkable advancement, but recommended that overnment control continue unil the peonle have had time t< ibsorb and thoroughly master he powers already in their hands inder the Jones act of 1916. Fol!owing this report General Wood, t life-long military man, was appointed to succeed General Harrison as governor general, and rom the very first weeks of his tdministration there has been trouble, and more trouble. One •f the first acts of General Wood vas to veto some sixteen acts of he Filipino legislature designed | o create and govern municipal!-1

ties. Other interruptions of a ; similar character have followed, until now the Filipino government refuses to co-operate with. General Wood and he is legally shorn of his power. In this respect it may be stated that almost a similar condition has followed the rule of General Crowder another military man in Cuba. The population of the 3,00 t Philippine Islands is about 11, 000,000, of whom 500,000 art Pagans and the balance of whon are Christians. Less than 7,00 are Americans. The pagans ant t Americans are opposed .to independence. They have a good 'anking system with over 100.000 depositors and resources oi 250,000.0V0. The total assessed aluation for taxable purposes is bout $750,000,000. In 1921 there were 1,000,000 pupils enrolled in he public schools. They have •stablished over 800 dispensaries ’or free medical treatment of th ? >oor. In 1921 there >nlv about 10 ner cent !of th” ihd is I’nder cultivation and i‘ s doubtful if anywhere else in ’he world is to be found a lilo' wealth of undeveloped resources. Since 1916 they have had almcst ••unplete control of domestic ?f---'nirs and have established a SvtroTre Court tha f has the resnec* - md confidence of the neople. The Filipinos have been thoroughly educated in our history, Declaration of Independence, government and systems, and they seek and demand, as a matter of right as well as by the expressed pledge and promise, the same liberties and freedom inspired by Washington, Jeffer-
