tanning control In beneftting the Fill

ening the circle of civilization and ex-

The Times Republican has pointed
out heretofore that policy which in
volved the promise of present control
and future independence would para
lyze any attempt to establish local self
government and thwart efforts to bene-
fit the islanders. 1t would be better to
hold out no promises but to make our
performances so helpful to the people
that they themselves shall heartily en-
dorse our work and become loyal sup
poriers of our policy, whatever they
may hope for in the future.
