SPANISH PEACE TREATY

Washington, January livery soon after

with II he will turn over 10 congress the

Pending action by congress, the executive

any OF the islands. Congress must decide
how long the system OF military govern
ment Ia TO continue and what iS to dlsplace
II in each locality.
AS has already been indicated in The
Post there is no doubt OF the ratification Of
the treaty after debate OF moderate
length, many senators voting for II merely
as a treaty OF peace and not as docu-
ment that In any way pledges the United
States TO the POLICY OF permanently retain
ing wha. the treaty conveys,
After the treaty Is out OF tho way ef-
forts will probably be made to secure the
passage OF some sort OF resolution declara-
tory OF the policy of the United States to-
ward the new acquisitions ana especially
toward the Philippines, bit IL is not prob
able such a resolution will bs adopted. The
most that Is likely to be done is the au-
thorizat!on OF commission to visit the
Philippines and submit report to the
next congress.
Growing out OF the obligation to maintain
peace and order in the islands is the neces-
siuy for a larger army and an Increased
navy. The house committee on naval at
fairs has already decided to increase the
enlisted strength OF tho navy 10 10000
men and 1900 apprentices ami mos, II not
all the fifteen new warships recommended
will be authorized. The bill for the reor-
ganization Of the navy and the marine
corps and for the increase OF the latter
corps Is also In better legislative position
than ever before and 1t is possible It may
be passed during tho present session.
