Mason to oppose Administration Methods


Senator Billy Mason is consistent at
all events. He cannot and will not
reconcile himself to the administra-
tion method of Philippine conquest.
In an interview with a Washington
Post reporter yesterday Senator Mason
said: :.On the floor of the senate l
shall continue my opposition to the
war upon the FilipinOs. / would
sooner resign my seat than treat a
dog the way we are treating those
people. | am ashamed of my country.
People make a great mistake, he
continued. when they say that | am
against expansion. | am not. But
expansion by purchase or'any other
honorable means is one thing; eXpan-
sion by force is another. 1 do not
believe that there was any necessity
for this war upon the Filipinos. l

luton in congress, assuring these
people as we assured the Cubans that
we had no selfish designs upon thema
we never would have met with any OPP
position in the Philippines. The fact IS
that we have given the Filipinos every
reason to distrust us, and they are
fighting for their own liberty. Talk
about hauling down our flag" con-
tinued Senator Mason. ''Will not
our flag come down in Cuba? Ger
tainly ii will, if we are true to our
promises. And the day that it
comes down will be the biggest
day in our history because it
