MAKING THE PHILIPPINES PAY.

There is popular impression that
the Philippines are a great financial
drag on the United States. While we
| have in the past spent money freely in
the Archipelago, the fact is that the
Philippines are more than paying their
own way The Island Government has
a tidy balance i'm its Treasury and
asks nothing Of congress. There is
OF course. the expense OF the military
establishment 10 be considered. the ex-
ira pay Of troops in the tropics, the
cost Of moving them, and so on. But
the contention OF the Manila mer-
chants, as set forth in recent letters.
is that this is more than compensated
by the training our soldiers get in trop-
ical service. There is 10 be considered.
too, the fact that the attraction OF
foreign service has a decided influence
in the direction Of enlistlng a better
class Of men.
But II the Philippines are no longer
financial circumstance, are they. or
can they be made, a profitable invest
ment for the United States? The Ma
Mia merchants have recently sent out
a striking monograph on this subject
by Harold VI. Pitt. lie lays down
the proposition that the United states
is now buying every year tropical
products that cannot be raised at home
to the amount Of six hundred million
dollars. The principal items In this
great bill Of expense are coffee tea.
sugar, rubber, hbers silk. cocoa. fruits
and nuts. But the countries which
produce and sell us these products buy
IN return only three hundred million
dollars worth of our products. The
balance Of trade against us has To be
settled by the export Of raw materials
mostly cotton, 10 Europe for manurac-
ture. Mr.. Pitt contends that the Phil
ippines can be made TO produce prac.
tically all Of the things we buy from
the tropics, and that as such produc-
tion is stimulated our export trade TO
the Philippines will grow.
This is an interesting proposition
worthy Of the study Of our economists.
our rubber bill alone is tremendous
and Is growing rapidly, but like our
large consumption Of coffee. brings us
little trade in return. A small duty
placed on the various tropical products.

Of the Philippines profitable for Amer
lean capital Mr. Pitt states the case
In these words:
The Philippines will consume OF i'm
ported commodities what they are able

VIII always be measured by their pro-
iuctlon Of export commodities. There
y nothing that they produce or are
idapted To produce that the United
states Is not at present under the ne
'essity Of buying from foreign coun-
ries whose import trade IL does not

eady possesses in these Islands.

Methedists have two important mat

a committee has been named by the
Methodist Bishops To consider the
question Of the size OF the General
Conference, which committee will re-

1912 conference assemblies. II is now
thought that the number, about 500.

favor the step. One reason is say
ing Of expense. The General Confer

local guarantees, and this expense is

a greater reason for reducing the size
