Long Way Toward

URGED GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
lHr Associated Prcss.l

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-Sccre-
ta1-y Root was heard on the question of
the friar lands in the Philippines, before
the House Committee on lnsular Affairs.
to-day. He SAID these land holdings con-
stituted one of the chief causes of dis
content among the Fiipinos. They
were the inclters of instruction and had
furnished Agulnaldo his chief appeal to
popular prejudice.
The Secretary said the religious orders
so fully recognized the bad conditions OF
affairs that they were disposed to sell
out, and he III ged that the Government
should take advantage Of The opportunity
10 remove the chief causes of discomfort
in the islands.
He did not believe condemnation pro-
ceedings would be necessary, as there
were indications that a fair price couto
be ag. eed upoa. A rough e-tima,e. OF tie
value OF. the lands. he SAID, was f.om five
to seven and one-half million dollars,
American money.
INTENSE HATRED.
Secretary Root began his statement by
explaining the enormous power which
the religious orders had long eHet~leSu
in The Philippines. They We're represented
at Madrid, and the archbishop was quite
the islands. The orders had largely
supplanted the native priests. As re-
suit of the great political power or the
orders, the friars became the medium OF
communications between the local parishes
and the central government. Thcy held
large tracts of the best land, amounting
to about 100000 acres at the time of
American occupation. The people rented
the lands and thus q landlord and tenant
system was now in operation. This
caused intense hatred, and Mr.. Root
said the feeling of the tenant classes
was not equalled in bitterness by any
thing in Ire and
Auginaldo had taken advantage OF this
intense feeling of the tenants against
the friar landlords. and the movement
had become very popular.
NO RELIGIOUS QUESTION.
The Secretary said that about the most
important thing to be done "a TINS time
wgs to dispose OF the friar question rs 1t
was felt that when landed proprietorship
was brought to an end most OF the agita-
ton would be disposed Of The friars
had been driven from the land in many
cases, he said and if they returned the
people would kill them.
Appeals had been made to the War De
IJartment to collect the rents due, but
the Secretary said this could not be
done without the use Of troops
Mr.. Root said that no religious ques-
ton was involved. as it was simply a
condition that existed. and that was
fully recognized. The friars themselves
were so fully alive to the conditions that
they would doubtless be ready to dis
pose of their lands. At all events. Mr.
Root said. thew were a part of an orga-
nization. and he apprehended that the
disposition of the lands would be de-
termined bv higher church authorities
than the friars themselves.
