No Danger of Other Powers tram
bling the Philippines.
New York, November 6.r7Carl SEIZURE,
in an interview upon the subject OF the
Philippine commission report, was asked.
What do you say OF the assertion OIL
he commission that unless the United
States keeps possession OF the Philippines
other powers will surely grab them?'
THAT is an old bugbear. l have an
swered that question many time. The
United States might make an effort to get
the powers most nearly concerned TO de-
clare the Philippines neutral, as Belgium
and Switzerland are in Europe. The neu
trality of these countries is the more easi-
ly maintained as there are several powers
that would like to have them, but neither
power wants any other to have them. II
such an arrangement could be effected
with regard to the Philippines, then l am
sure that simple proclamation of hands
of by the United States would furnish all
tho necessary security.
What do you say with regard 10 the
anarchy which the commission says is
inevitable?'
There is, as far as l have read the
report, no evidence given in support OF
that assertion. but the commission seems
ID mean that armed resistance to the en-
forcement of American sovereignty in
itself is anarchy II that is its meaning
we had plenty of anarchy of that kind IL
this country in the revolutionary struggl,
against England. II the struggle for in
dependence is called anarchy, We shall
have to revise some of the most importan
chapters of our own political history"
