Manila, Feb. 1.-The Philippine as
sembly opened with simple ceremo-
MES, President Osmena presiding. The
first business to come before the body
was the annual message to the Assem-.
bly, Of Governor General James +.
Smith, who said, in part:
my last word to the Fflipinos that
until the great majority and not a
small minority OF the citizens are pre-.
pared to make intelligent use of the
franchise, until democratic usages and
customs have permeated throughout
the population and become a part of
the daily life of the people, until the
power of unconscionable agitators and
demagogues Is broken; until education
has created just public sentiment
which specious arguments and false
doctrines cannot destroy; until citi.
zen has not only the power to judge,
but also the courage to act for him
self, the best future of the islands lies
with the land which has given the
Filipinos freedom of speech, liberty of
the press and freedom of worship"
Governor Smith deplored the grow
ing gulf between the Americans and
F1lipinos in the Philippines.

FRANCE is TO REVISE TARIFF.
KS Provisions viii Materially Dis.
erIminate Against United States.

Washington, Feb S.-AmerIcan tar.
If experts do not view with com.
placenCy the probability that the
French government within the next
year will put into operation a revised
tariff which, 1t is believed. Will have
the effect of very seriously discrlmr
mating against imports into France
from the United States
The condition of trade with France,
it is SAID is bad, even under the pres.
ent tariff The United States is com.
PEELED to pay the maximum rate on
all of its importations. and that fact
is sufficient in many cases to prac'
tically prohibit the importation Of
many articles OF American production.
Government experts believe such ac.
ton by France makes absolutely nee
essary dual tariff by the United
States, and that the new law must
contain provisions for both minimum
and maximum rates Not to provide
for such a system. it is argued, will
leave the United States helpless and
weaponless in any commercial war

connection with the revelations re.
Gently made at Paris, when Azef, the

The action is in behalf of Judge Old
