The action, however, does not cause

BRYAN TALKS TO CLERGY
Pleads for Filipino Freedom
Without Mentioning Philippines

Secretary Bryan, without mentioning
the Philippines, told more than 1000
clergymen and their friends. gathered In
the Metropolitan Building assembly hall
yesterday afternoon that he was funda-
mentally opposed TO the continuation Of
American government in the islands The
declaration came in the course of his talk
on what the Secretary calls the funda-
mentals Of human life-the relation Of a
man to his government, to society and
TO God.
Speaking on the first relation, Secretary
Bryan asserted that It was necessary 70
start with the assumption that all people
were capable Of sclf-sovernment though
lie admitted that there were degrees Of
capacity.
EFF you ask me whether this nation
should go out ana extend It's authority
over an inferior people hy force and with
out the consent OF the governed" he
said. Il say no. But If you ask me about
the case Of two peoples living together,
one in advance Of the other. | should
say that the advance group I'm the in
terests Of its own civilization. should rule.
for then the inferior people would have
tire advantage OF living Under the laws
developed and perfected by the superior
people.
That, though. is not true in a colonial
policy There the laws are made by the
superior people, who do not and would
not live under such laws"
In discussing the second relationship
the Secretary said that he believed It
was possible for a man to earn by actual
service rendered to society the 500 000,00)
which was reputed 10 be the size Of the
largest fortune in this country. Neither
