TAFT STILL TEsTFYNC
Questioned Closely as to Fed-
 eral Party's Memorial.
The Governor of the Archipslags Thinks 1t Will Be Many Ysars Before the Natives Can 0ev.
 srn Themselves

Washington. Feb. Ex-Governor Taft again appeared before the Senate. Com mittee on the Philippines today.
 Senators Patterson. Carmack and Cul- person asked numerous questions based upon the memorial of the federal party calculated to bring out Governor Tafta idea as to what. if any. promise should be made to the Philippines in the way e government for the future. Replyirg to an inquiry from Mir. Patterson as to colonial form of government, Governor Taft said the memorialists mean juae what they say. that they favor uitimats statehood. The witness said the coudi. ton in the Philippines today is such that the restrictions of the constitutton of the United States canot be safely ex- tended to those islands. Governor Taft advocated the establishment of . stable government for the present with the understanding that at some time In the future the Americans and the Ftliptnos could reach an agreement as to what should be done in the way of government rin maintaining relations, but" ha said, whether the islands should hays their independence. whether qhey should be given quasi-independence or whather they should be made State of the Onion is so far in the future l have reached nn conclusion.
 "The great evil of the present time Is so far in the future l have reached no conclusion.
 ""The great evil of the present time ie the current discussion of the Philippines future so long before that can be fixed" Replying to Senator Csrmack's in- quiries he said that he had not considered the problem of possible statehood fifty years hence. He would not favor . promise even of q form of kovefnmenr such. as is given the United States ter ritories. <
 He also said he was opposed to extend- ing the constitution to those islands. i,
 In replying to questions by Senator McComas upon the Democratic substitute for the Philippines tarif bill. Governor ' Taft said to turn the government of the islands over to the Filipinos as therein proposed would in his opinion result in anarchy and in the disturbance of vested rights to such an extent as to render 1t necessary for the United States to re- sume its control with all the work to do over again that had been done in the last two years He had no doubt, however, that the Filipinos could form govern ment as they had done under Aguinaldo.
 .Would the condition be such," asked Senator Lodge, ''as to lead to the acquisi- ton of the islands by foreign powersT'
 ''That is a matter of opinion," respon- ded the Governor. '"The Philippines arc called by the foreigners The gem of the Orient the records vii show the interest that Japan has taken in the islands and the investments made by citizens of other countries indicate what is thought of them. Both the Germans and the English have considerable capital invest ed there."
 Adjourned for the day.
