THE CITIZEN SOLDIER

Sir: "Guardsman" asks FOR facts and

rather than military purposes.
The only way TO quell a riot is to shoot,

guard at strikes is merely police duty
with the object of firing out the strikers.
The strike of 1925 called out two entire
brigados for nearly two weeks. ana II was
only ended by voley from the 18th Resl-

company of regulars would have made
more impression without shooting ana
would have cost nothing.

CARDINAL GIBBONS's VIEW.

The arguments of Cardinal Gibbons
against the Jones bill piedGing inde-
pcndence TO the Philippines at Il fixed
date will have great weight with the
American people. He is everywhere
recognized rs man Of calm Judgment
and exceptional information on the
subject. He has no interest i'm parti-
san politics. but j. concerned solely
with the Safeguarding Of civilization i9
the islands and the development OK
their people in Christian character and
i'm the arts Of peace Like most other
men who have based their opinions on q
study of actual conditions in the archl-
pclagO rather than on Il ready-made
theory he sees the danger TO progress
and order involved in turning over this
heterogeneous mass OF people to the
tender mercies of Tagalog politicians
who talk glibly about popular right,
and have about rs much idea of or
dcred liberty as thc Central American
adventurcrs who have made the coun-
tries south Of us prey To anarchy
for more than thrce-QuarterS of Il cen
Jury.
Cardinal Gibbons justly raises the
question whether those who demand
independence represent the wishes OF
the great body of the inhabitants. The
anti-impcrialistS grow eloquent about
;he tyranny which took them over

they would hand them over 10 a few

have been for Jefferson To take Il vote
Of Louisiana in 1902. The islands were
i'm disorder. the Spanish government
had been broken down by lis and the
alternatives were American control or
anarchy. We gave them the only
feasible government under the circum-
stances government which would
preserve order. open the door to adj
