What the United States has done for
the Philippines" and Mr.. Bryan DIS
cussed why the Philippines Should
be Independent" Eleanor Franklin
Egan also contributes an article on

Mr.. Bryan thus begins his article.
Honesty requires that our policy re-
garding the Philippine Islands be an.
nounced. The Filipinos have ar light
to know; other nations are entitled to
the iniormation and our own position
would be strengthened by a declara.
tion of the nations purpose. SO long
as there is doubt there will be discuss
ion; so long as there is uncertainty
the Flipinos will suspect the worst,
other nations will accuse us of insin-
cerity, and our own people will be EN-
barrassed in the advocacy of the prin-
ciples of government which we apply
here and refuse to apply in the Phil.
ippines. A republic cannot hold colon.
les, for colonial government rests
upon force, while In republic the gov
ernment rests upon the consent of the
governed. To say that the Filipinos
have no right to a voice In their own
government and In the shaping Of
their own destiny raises question as
to mans inalienable rights, and the
citizens of free country cannot afford
TO raise such a question"
Mr.. Bryan tersely says then that i'm |
provement in the Islands does ont 4

have brought greater improvement |

Material prosperity in the Philip
