NO USE FOR PHILIPPINES.
Congressman Shafroth Thinks United
States Could Do Without Them

Denver, Colo, Oct. 6.-COngress-
man JohnF ShafrOth, who with Mrs.
Shafroth has been touring China and
the Philippines for the past four
months, has arrived home. Speak
ing OF the conditions in the Philip
pines, he said:
Peace has been practically restor-
ed in the Philippines. There is still a
little instruction in Samar, but aside
from that everything is fairly quiet.
| do not believe, however, that the
retention of the islands will beprofit-
able, as the government will have to
expend IA great deal of money on
them, even in times ofpeace. Itcosts
now between $6O.O00.O0O and $75,-
100000 year to keep the soldiers
there, and even if the number is re-
duced to $4,000 the expense will
still be greater than the profits from
the islands will warrant. The islands
are unquestionably rich. but their
benefit to the United States will not
materialize until a generation or two
has passed and the need of an army
in the island has gone.
