Asked about the capacity Of ths Fill
pino peoples 10 govern themselves,
President Schurman replied that they
had no experience in self government,
except in municipal affairs and even
these were subject to the control OF the
Spanish authorities. He thought. how
ever, that each tribe might, subject TO
the supervision OF a wise general gov
ernment, manage, in the main, its own
municipal and provincial affairs. Su-
pervision from Manila would vary with
the position which the different tribes
occupied in the scattered islands. Pres
ident Schurman seemed firm in the con-
viction that some form of home rule
for each of the tribes and under tEe
watchful supervision of a general gov
ernment at Manila was the solution TO
the problem.
