Protests Against
Free Trade With Islands

WASHINGTON. April 2.-The voice of
the Filipino for the first time was heard
today in the legislative halls of congress.
II was raised in protest against the system
of free trade which the Payne bill seeks
TO establish with the Philippines.
Standing in his place in the house OF
representatives, Pablo Ocampo De Leon,
resident commissioner from the far off
island possession of the United States,
criticised the proposition for free trade
because, he said, 1t would cause decrease
i'm the revenues OF the Islands, and act
Ipon the trusts in such a way as to pre-
clude the possibility OF Independence.
Speaking for the Filipinos and voicng their
sentiments. Mr.. Ocampo De Leon pleaded
for such independence.
las soon as the measure becomes opera
tive he said, 'it would Immediately cause
in the next year decrease in the revenues
Of about 100000 pesos, from which reve-
nues the Philippine government obtains tho
greater portion OF its income for the sup
port OF the administration. This decrease
would augment every year as foreign inn
portatons gradually fell Off owing to the
advantageous position which American
products would have IN the market, a po-
sition which inevitably would annul foreign
competition.
Living under the protection OF this coun-
try" he continued, ''the Filpinos would
willingly grant the greatest preference for
American products were they not convinced
that such preference means ruin for their
own country. Once foreign goods are driven
from the Philippine markets the importer
Of American products would control the
situation
