should Not Sell the Philippines


In an address before the Church
mems Club Rev. Charles II. Brent,
Protestant Episcopal bishop OF the
Philippines, declared that for this
country to consider for a moment
such a proposition as selling the Phil
ippine Islands, would be a Sinking of
a responsibility to a criminal extent,
an act that would amount to the bury
ing of the soul of the nation"
Continuing the bishop said:
The responsibility for retaining and
development of our island possessions
in the far east, a development along
moral and spiritual lines as much as
any others, is one of the heaviest that
rests upon us as a nation and to at
tempt to avoid II would be unchris-
tianHke in the extreme"
Bishop Brent, in the course of his
address, expressed the opinion that
the United States government had
been too speedy in allowing the Flip
pinos self government and that a mis-
take had been made in giving them so
much OF the electorate franchise. He
also said that the present trade rela-
