.OPINION BY WICKERSHAM
Provision Of the Organic Act of the
Philippine Government MOdi-
fled by Attorney Genral.

Washington, Dec 23.-Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham has rendered an opin-
ion for the war department that the
Philippine government has the power
to sell the ''friar lands" in the Philip
pines in any number Of acres desirable.
The opinion is in opposition to the
provision of the organic act Of the
Philippine government, which limited
the sale of the unappOrtiOned public
lands obtained by treaty with Spain
to forty acres.
In developing the sugar industry of
the island individuals desired to pur-
chase the SIS 600 acres contained in the
San Jose estate on the island of Min
dOrO, which was purchased from the
friars by the United States and which
has never been occupied. 1t was ar
gued that an attempt to sell this land
i'm fOrty-acre tracts would defeat the
proposed use of the land.
This decision does not modify the
law providing that every corporation
engaged in agriculture shall not hold
more than 1900 acres. It is said that
the so-called sugar trust is the pros
peCtive purchaser OF the land.
