made clear in his message. He
urges the development Of the
Philippines, always keeping in
view ultimate independence Of
the islanders. While he does not
believe they are ready for self
government today he believes
that eventually they will be. He
points out Improvement that has
recently been made by calling
attention to the fact that more
natives have been appointed on
the Philippine commission than
was the case previously.
