CONTROVERSY OVER REPORT.
Governor General Ide's Statement Q
Philippine Rice Importations.

MANILA. August L-Governor General
Ide has received reports stating that dur
ing the fiscal yealr ending on June 30 the
importations of rice to the Philippines de-
creased 61.0T2 All pounds. valued at s3.0e4.-
1888 in gold.
Commenting on the reports, Governor Ide
says:
From these reports 1t appears that the
number of pounds of rice imported into the
Philippines during the fiscal year Of 1908
was something less than three-sevenths OF
the importations In 1901, and the cash sent
out from the island for rice was less than
four elevenths of the sum sent in 1904.
II the same ratio of decrease continues
for year. or even a semester, no more
rice will be imported, and In two years the
islands, besides supplying the home de-
mand. ought to be exporting rice"
The publication of the report has caused
controversy. The local shippers contend
that the decrease Of importations is a re-
suit of the poverty of the people. who. 1t
is alleged. are not buying rice. but are liv-
ing on yams and other food The shippers
declare that the Philippines will never ex-
port rice
