Our Laws Don't Apply.

There are many other Limitations
and conditions prescribed in the or
ganic act" declares the report, gen
eral in character, and which may rea-
sonably be construed to have been ex-
tended to friar lands; but the limita-
tions and conditions specifically inn
posed upon the sale and disposal of
lands owned by the United States. and
which this Government has generous
ly permitted to be sold for the benefit
of the Filipino people, cannot by any
reasonable construction be made to
extend to sales by the Philippine Gov
ernment of lands purchased with it's
own money from private owners and
which never did belong to the United
States.
1T is quite within the power Of the
Philippine legislature to limit the
amount of friar lands which may be
sold to a single noncorporate purchas-
er, but it has not done so and Con-
gress has not done So"
The conclusions reached by the ma
jority of the committee, i'm addition to
those quoted above explicitly exoner-
ating the officers mentioned, are sum-
married. as follows:

Conclusions Reached.

mo corporation can lawfully hold
more than 1924 hectares (2,50O acres)
of any kind of land in the Philippine
Islands, and no corporation has been
permitted to purchase more than that
amount of either public lands or friar
lands since the passage of the act Of
1902. Section Is of this act limits the
sale of public lands in the Philippine
Islands which lawfully may be sold to
any purchaser other than corpora
tion. No sales i'm excess of that
amount has been made.
Congress should, by appropriate
legislation more clearly express it's in
tention. whether individual citizens Of
the United States are to be included
or excluded as purchasers OF agricul-
tural public land of the United States
in the Philippine Islands.
