would be no tariff legislation by con-
grese for the Philippines. He said:
"That decision Will show US where,
we stand and we can then proceed In
diligently. If the court sustains the
republican contention that Porto Rico
is not q part OF the United States and
that therefore the constitutional pro-!
vision for uniform taxation turnout
the United States does not apply TO
Porto Rico, OF course the same Will
hold good with regard to the Philip
pines.
IF the decision OF the court should
be that the Porto Rican tariff is uncon-
stitutionai and that Porto Rico is part
OF the United States, 1t might necessl-
tate our having to give up the Philip
pines. We are bound to the open door
in the Philippines. That means that
the products of all nations can come
into the Philippines on the same basis y,
as our own. If we can not raise q tarlii
against Philippine products coming
Into the United States then our labor
would be brought into competition Win

ticking in decorations. Finally Il was
said that NJ. Jean DeCrais, son of the

Cross of the Legion Of Honor for NJ. Ed
ward Drumont, proprietor Of the Libra
Parole. Minister De Crais spoke feel
ingly on the subject and said the charge
is false.
A lively debate followed. The govern
ment was asked to refer the subject to q.
magistrate and others suggested a law
to restrain the "calumnious press.

istry. He claimed the stories were
nothing more than political fabrications

With our soldiers themselves no one

The administration, according to
high official. has become weary Of the

to give the Filipinos taste of real war
and, tho the innocent may suffer, 1t is
only by this means, II is believed that
the guilty can be reached.

cabled to Maj. Gen. Macarthur relative
to the operations to be conducted In
accordance with the instructions sent
to him few days before Gen Mac
Arthur has been mobilizlng the troops

that Gen. Macarthur contemplates de-
