WILSON'S POLICY
ASS-AILED BY TAFT
Former President Sees Disaster in the
Granting of More Power to
Filipino Politicians.

New York, Nov. 20-Speaking on
the subject, Holding the Philippines, -
before the Brooklyn institute of arts
and sciences, ex-president William H.
Taft attacked the policy Of the Wilson
administration as demonstrated in the
acts of goVernOr-general Francis Bur-
ton Harrison since he took over the
reins Of government of the inslands
early last month.
In taking exceptions to the policies
of president Wilson in granting more
powers in the government and legisla-
ton to the Filipino politicians, Mr..
Taft declared this action to be far in
advance in the time of even the ap-
prOach to self-g government
Are we to let these islands go and
turn them over to an oligarchy of elO-
quent and attractive orators who
no real conception of civil and indi-
vidual liberty and certainly no capac-
ity by training and education for sue
cessful popular government" asked
the speaker. The present declara-
ton Of the administration that they
are looking forward to ultimate indie
pendence has been accepted by the
politicians Of the Philippine Islands
as a great boon, although Mr.. Nc
Kinley, Mr.. Roosevelt and I promised
it from the first and have always
promised it; but we were a little more
definite in saying that we did not
Ll4nh II " dS COlAA44lB IOL a StlGEdLAOA
and probably not for more than that
time.
The present administration clearly
fixes no time, but their attitude here
tOfore that the mere declaration to
furnish ultimate independence is &C
cepted by the Filipino people as a
promise Of early independence. Under
these conditions when the Filipino
people find that they are no nearer
under the Democratic
administration than they were under
Republican administration, they will
think themselves deceived.
The administration has enlarged
the Filipino membership in the com
mission so that it becomes a maj Ority.
1 sincerely hope that this sweeping
removal of most competent officers is
not the result of a tendency towards
the spoils system
Word comes that il was given out
that advice and information from Fill
Dinos were sought by Mr.. Harrison,
but none from Americans. It is re-
ported that this attitude and the sud
den removals. together with rumOrs OF
of salaries of American Of
ficials created a panic among the
American civil servants so widespread
found it necessary to send reassuring
dispatch back to Manila on the sub
ect. The wholesale removal of able
and experienced heads of bureaus was
certain to cause terror in the whole
service and to paralyze its efficiency
until the character of the new policy
became understood If the American
,ivil service in the islands breaks down
disaster will certainly follow"
