CHANGE POLICY ON PHILIPPINES.
President Takes First Step Toward
Law Revision.

Law Revision.
President Roosevelts reference to
the Philippine question in his speech
at Atlanta, il is learned indicates the
nature of legislation to be proposed by
his friends in congress this winter.
A bill is to come out of the ways and
means committee providing for the
free entry into this country of Philip
pine products, and also opening the
islands to investment. The restrictions
at present imposed are to be swept
away.
Mr.. Roosevelt's reference in his
speech to unfortunate measures
which have seriously, in some respects
vitality, hampered the development of
the Philippines" marks his first step
away from the policy Of 'The Philip
pines for the Filipinos."
He sci yes notice that the policy ex-
Guiding capital has failed. The Phil
ippines need capital. and there are
two ways of securing 1t. One is by
alienation of the tariff arrangement
which now levies heavy burden upon
Philippine products exported to the
United States. Another Is by remov-
some of the restrictions which have
prvented the direct investment Of capt.
tai by individuals or corporations from
the states.
