PHILIPPINES NEEDS
Set Forth by Brewster Cameron Be-

San Francisco, Dec. 1O-A number of
representatives of labor organizations and
several city officials gathered at a meet
ing in the mayors office to meet Brewster
Cameron, a merchant of Manila and COM
mercial delegate to the United States con-
gress, who arrived on the Doric last week.
Cameron represents the Allied Chambers
of Commerce of the Philippine Islands
and presented evidence of the immediate
necessity for Philippine legislation on
labor, currency, tariff. land laws and rail-
roads. He addressed his hearers on the
need of skilled labor that live in the
tropics and said that such labor is a
choice between the japanese and the Chi
nese. The japanese would remain and for
ever compete with the Filipinos, and the
Chinese would agree to return TO China,
which should operate in favor of selecting
Chinese for the work, Brewster said.
There is an unwritten statute exclud-
ing Chinese from engaging in Philippine
agriculture, said Cameron, land there
fore the Chinese skilled labor which it is
desired to import will never enter into
competition with the farmers and produe-
ers of the United States
