l nfit For Independence

MANILA, Aug. 3o.-The last session
of the conference with the agitator
for the independence of the Philippine
islands developed the fact, according
to concensus Of opinion among the
congressman present, that the Fill
pinOs are altogether unfit for immedi-
ate Independence. Apart from the
problems presented in the civilization
OF the lgorrotes, the Moros, Maca-
bebes and other tribes, it would be
cruel, it is believed, to the people of
the islands at large to turn them over
to the mercies of theorists and dema.
gogues.
They would then experience the worst
kind of exploitation. The statements
OF the speakers at the meeting were
widely divergent, those of the mercen-
airy faction being in contrast with the
native agitators.
The provincial governors when they
were heard emphatically declared that
the whole people of the islands were
unfit for independence for many years.
1t developed during the session that
two principal agita.ors had been un.
