why not proclaim this to the in
habitants of the Philippine islands and
why not proclaim it now? 1t may be
argued that this is what we intend to
do. 1t may be asserted that as we are
now going. and without the pledge of
accord from US, the ultimate end OF
our occupation of Filipino territory VII
be the Filipino's freedom and Filipino
government. But we have not said
this to the FilipinOs We have care
fully and studiOUsly refused to say
this to them"
Opposes Talk Against Free Cuba
Mr. Brown also referred to the talk
favorable to holding cuba, and said:
We hear it said now-it is almost
common taik-that it was a mistake
for our government to give assurance
of a purpose to leave Cuba Men as
sert, without any apparent sense of
shame. that while ii was all well
enough for US to go TO war for the
sake of humanity, and in humanitys
name we should have left ourselves
free to bring .the Cuban people into
subsection to us and free to take their
islands into our keeping and hold 1t as
our property. Deep regret is expressed
because of the fact that before the
world we DIeuBeQ ourselves TO the DED-
pie of Cuba that we would not make
conquest of their island, but that we
would leave it to them. The man who
says we should have FesoTted to this
double dealing in April, 1898, now very
logically and very naturally goes a
step further and says that we ought TO
violate the pledge we then made,
whether she wants to come 20 as or
not. What more misera bic. more i'm
human. more unpatriOtic course could
be advocated? It is the claim of the
greed without one spark of conscience.
1t is the acme of avarice, without a
single redeeming feature. 1T is the
doctrine of a freebooter of the world
1t is the code of a pirate of ali the
seas"
Dinsmore and 8Giers Talk.
Mr.. Dinsmore (Ark) said the coun-
try was to be congratulated on the
speech just made, as il gave evidence

the Salt Lake and Boise City public

Washington. Feb. Reconsideration
of the diplomatic and consular apprO-

oped something of a surprise when
Representative Brown of Ohio, stand
ing in the center of the Republican
side of the chamber, made a speech
strongly condemning a colonial policy,
and urging that congress should at
once give assurances to the Filipinos
that the purpose of the United States
was to give them independence. His
announcement that he would advocate
a resolution to this effect was loudly
applauded, particularly on the Demo-
cratic side, and at the close of his
speech many of his Republican asso-
ciates crowded about him and con-
graduated him.
Representatives Miers of Indiana and
Dinsmore of Arkansas also spoke on
the Philippines.
Proposed a Resolution.
The resolution proposed by Mr..
Brown declares that lit is the purpose

purpose shall be fully accomplished the

just, viii relinquish sovereignty in
