CONGRESSMAN SUGGESTS
WITHDRAWAL FROM PHILIPPINES

If such should be the decision of the
court" said Congressman Ray, 1t
might necessitate our having to give
up the Philippines We are bound to
maintain the open door in the Philip
pines. That means that the products
of all nations can come into the Phil
ippines on the same basis as our own.
If we cannot raise a tariff against
Philippine products coming into the
United States, then our labor would be
brought into competition with the
cheap la Dor of the Orient If that con-
ditiOn should come about we might
feel that our interests would demand
our withdrawal from the Philippines"
