Thursday received from Ambassador
O'Brien at Tokyo a transcript of the
reply of the Japanese government to

ment to meet the desires of America
in a satisfactory manner. Ambassa-
dor O'Brien comedies in this view of

Entire Generation Needed Before Such
Effort Should Be Made, Says Off
cIal in Speech at Boston Clergy
Meeting.

Boston, Dec. 31.-Progress in the
Philippines, politically, educationally
and sanitary, all tending toward ulti-
mate self-government, was the basis
Of the address of Secretary of War
William H. Taft before 400 Boston
ministers Monday. 1t was Secretary
Taft's first. public utterance since the
completion of his tour around the
world as we'll as the first of three
addresses made in Boston Monday.
Secretary Taft spent considerable
time in refuting the arguments of the
so-called anti-imperialists the majori-
ty of whose advocates. he seemed to
think, belonged in Boston. He said
that with only seven per cent. of the
Inhabitants of the Philippines suf-
ficiently educated to understand self
government it would be dangerous to
give the islands over at this time. He
placed ultimate elf-government not
earlier than generation, or perhaps
two of them.
Islanders Make Progress.
He said that great progress had
been madei in the last five years, but that
the movement of education has been
held back by lack of funds. He hoped
that the islands would not be given up
entirely to sugar or tobacco industry,
because both were controlled more or
less by policies of the business world.
He considered that the hemp in
dustry was the most lucrative. while
he strongly advocated the removal OF
the American tariff on sugar and to.
bacco from the Philippines. Mr.. Taft
was warmly greeted by the audience,
and several leading diyines who spoke
briefly referred to his political future
and expressed the hope that he might
become president.
Talk to Merchants Association.
The principal object of Mr.. Taft's
visit to Boston was the fulfillment Of
his promise to speak Monday night be
fore the Boston Merchants associa
ton, but reaching the city severa
hours before that event he consented
to address the ministers and to attend
a reception at the Elysium club, {
Jewish organization. Between time.

Friday the police were asked for per

next week. 1t is said that If the parade

said, have practically doubled within

make the matter worse the heads of
thousands of families are out of work
