BISHOP BRENT AT CAPITAL
He Does Not Believe Japan
Covets the Philippines.
From TIE Tribune Bureau

WASHINGTON, June 2-The Right Rev.
Charles Henry Brent. Bishop OF the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of the Phil
ippine Islands and a member of the Inter
national Opium Commission, arrived in
Washington this afternoon from New
York and while here will probably hold a
number Of conferences with the Presi-
dent, the Secretary Of State, the Secre-
tary OF War and other officials regarding
conditions in the Philippines
Bishop Brent was the principal speaker
at Flag DAY exercises at the National
Cathedral for Girls this afternoon. He
took luncheon with members of the fac
ulty and prominent Washington clergy
rnel. lie will probably call at the White
House and the Department Of State to-
morrow.
The Philippines are in prosperous con-
dition. according to Bishop Brent, but he
does not believe the time has arrived for
giving them independence, although he is
averse TO discussing the question for pub
ucation because o. his position. His
opinion is that civilization will advance
much more rapidly in the next few years
than IN the past because Of the effective
administration Of the islands under super
vision Of this government.
Little concern is felt In the Philippines
over the possibility of a war with Japan,
SAYS Bishop Brent. lie does not believe
that Japan covets the Philippines. but
rather shares the opinion Of the admins
tradon that Japan desires 70 continue its
friendly relations with the United States.
Bishop Trent left Manila "A month ago,
at a time when the California-Japanese
situation was, I'm his opinion, even more
delicate than at present, and he says
there were no fears that there would be
any serious complications
