HIGH TRIBUTE PAID TO AMERI-
CAN PHILIPPINE POLICY IN
CONCLAvE OF BISHOP.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, Nov. 2
Tonight the twenty-five bishops in
attendance at the semi-annual con
claye were dined at the residence OF
Bishop William A. Quayle, where they
spent the rest of the evening which
was entirely given over to social en-
tertalnment.
The report TO the meeting by
Bishop Il. Mcdowell, of his recent
visit to the Far East. constituted the
main part Of the program of the days
session.
Bishop Mcdowell dwelt particularly
upon the Japan American relation
and the Philippine situation and pro-
gress OF civilization.
On strength OF his observations,
the bishop declared that there was
no reason to anticipate war with
Japan as far as the sentiment OF
Japan people is concerned. who do
not wish war at prestSt, being over
loaded with heavy taxes imposed to
pay off the cost of the war with Rus
sia. and which show a tendency to
increase rather than to diminish,
making another war look impractl-
cable.
Bishop Mcdowell paid high tribute
to the work of the American school
teachers in the Philippines. who he
said are being prepared for self-gov-
ernment as fast as Is possible. He is
particularly impressed with the work
of the American government he said
in general which evidenced that the
policy of the government toward IT,
Filiplnos was not one of superior
ity. but that they may be able to ad-
their own affairs accord
ingly. and, be able to administer their
affairs as free republic.
