T.1Fhomas Fortune, negro lawyer
VINO was recently sent to the Philip
pines In the role of special commits
sioner, has written to the New York
Evening POST an interesting article in
which he touches upon social cundi.
tions In Manila. Fortune says:
There are relatively few Ameri.
can white, women in the Philippine
Islands. ThoSe who are there have to
go away once every two years to re-
new their life. The climate eats them
up. Where white women cannot live
permanently, white men will not.
This pregnant fact is the parent Of
many evils IN the social life Of the
Philippine islands, which are SO glar.
Ing that they cannot escape the notice
or the most casual observer. Mar
rlages between white American men
and Filipino women are regarded With
as much horror as marriages between
nlacks ana whites In Tennessee. a
