PLANS FOR WORK ON
PHILIPPINE MATTERS
Committee to Press Curren-
Cy Measure for Islands.

Chairman Cooper. Of the House Com
mittee on InsuIar Affairs, has outlined
an extensive plan of work for his com
mittee Tor the remainder Of the session.
A meeting Of the committee was held to-
day at which the report of the Philip
pine Commission was considered. and
before the close Of the session it is the
intention Of the committee. if possible, to
report to the House measures intended
TO carry out in part, at least, some OF
Governor Taft's recommendations.
The currency bill will be pressed in
advance OF all OTTER bills. as both Re
pu5Iicaus and Democrats appreciate that
monetary conditions are ansettIec in the
islands by reason of the recent decIinz
in silver. and stable financial system
is essential 10 the material welfare OF
the archipelago. As soon as this measure
can be disposed Of by the committee,
several other matters will be considered.
One Of these is the question involved
in the labor situation in the islands. The
Chinese exclusion Law operates to tie
disadvantage Of the islands and business
l-iLfl tot5 NtiIduI t4C lLs pol Ia tlOU OF q
limited number Of skilled Chinese labor
eTs. Chairman Cooper believes q plan
can be devised which viii permit sort
OF contract labor system whereby skill
ed Chinese workmen Will be returned TO
China by their employers after a stated
period
An attempt viii also be made 10 pro-
vide more liberal land laws for the
islands. enabling individual companies
and corporations TO obtain larger hold
ings than the present act provides for, in
order that the resources of the islands
may be better developed.
Some legislation viii also probably be
suggested 10 amend and improve the
mining laws. While it is not probable
there viii be time for the consideration
of all these matters. and as the session
is short one. It viii doubtless be i'm
Dossibls 20 obtain action in both the
Senate and House, but an effort will be
made 10 meet the most Imperative de-
Insnds.

THE PRESIDENTS ACTION
APPROVED IN SOUTH
Statement of Mr. Blackburn
Regarding IHdianoIa Case.

President Rooscvelt's action in clos
ing the postomce at IndianoIa. Miss. will
have the hearty support Of all the better
class Of people throughout the South.
People who live in the Southern States
know that the only way to put a stop
TO outrages such as are reported from
that place is to take unusual and most
aggressive action. and they will com
mend ;he President for serving their in
tcrests so wei"
This is the view taken by Representa-
tive Blackburn of North Caroline of
the Tndianola case as it affects the whole
Of the South The Tar Heel Representa-
tive was a caller at the White House
Offices yesterday afternoon. and rad a
somewhat extended conference with the
President
The proposition suggested by op-
ponents of the Administration. that the
President should have Gerreted out the
guilty parties before taking any action. is
absurd on tho fact of it, Anyone ar-
quainted with the way these outrazes
are worked ia the South knows that the
real perpetrators always keep in the
background and have some hired persons
DO the dirty work. All the rotten egg
throwing and such similar forms of Gre
ating trouble cannot be traced to any
responsible source. even though il is
h1oWn that when they. occur there is in
variabjy some influence back of such
incidents.
If the people at Indfanola feel incon-
venie'ced by having to 90 forty miles
for their daily mail, it is more likely that
they viii nov help the Government at
tOTneys locate the source Of the trouble
than If they we're getting their mail as
usual and could refuse to give any as
sistance to the men trying to find the
guilty parties. Those who are acquainted
with the way things are done by the law
less element. instigated sometimes by
men Of better standing in the community,
trink the President and his Cabinet did
The whole South service by their
prompt and unmistakabIe action.

PUTTING THE SCREWS ON CHINA,

A dispatch from Pekin states that the
signatorics Of the Chinese peace pro
toc0I have consulted their respective
governments and have decided TO notify
China that her failure to fuIfH the OBJ
legations provided for by the protocol
will entail serious conscqueaces.~ This
means that the powers which exacted
indemnity from China after the Boxer
uprising insist that the Chinese govern
ment pay jts Indebtedness on a gold
basis ne pound Of flesh" is nominal
ed in the bond" and the greedy. powers
are determined to have everything that
the bond provides.
Ine Government OF the United states
to irs great credit. is disposed to grant
generous concessions to China and TO
make allowance for the decline In the
value of silver since the Chinese gov
eminent obligated itself TO pay iudemni-
ty- When China assumed this indebted
ness. the tael, measured iu gold. was
worth Il cents. Since that time the value
OF the taeI has fallen TO 81 cents. and If
the Chinese government is held strictly
to the terms o. its contract with the
powers it must pay now a much larger
SUN in silver than 81 was required 10 pay
when the peace treaty was signed.
That China is entitled TO some relief is
and DIS q matter OF equity
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-01-06

and fair dealing the European powers
should make reasonable concessions. 1t
has always been open to doubt whether
the amount Of indemnity which the pow
ers compelled the Chinese government
to assume was warrantabIe. There is
ground for the belief that the United
States Government regarded the claims
OF the powers as excessive and exerted
its influence, unfortunately without sue
cess. to secure a substantial reduction
Several months ago our State Depart
ment was requested by the government
OF China 70 use its good Offices with tho
powers to secure concessions from them
in view OF the decline IN the value OF
silver.
Apparently our government has been
unable to influence the other signatories
OF the Pekin treaty. They now threaten
the Chinese government with serious
consequences" if their claims are not
paid on a gold basis There is no aItru-
ism in European diplomacy. The pow
ers are plainly determined TO extort all
Z hat they can from the Chinese empire.
REGARDLESS of the consequences which
may result from policy Of coercion.
The position Of the United States in this
matter is not only more humane and
eonslderGte. but far wiser than that as
sumeG by the other signatoTies OF the
Pekln treaty.-BaltimOre Sun.
