House 70 Provide for a Govern
ment Inspection

representative C. c. Carlin in bill
introduced in the House yesterday, pro
posed government inspection and
survey of the Potomac river to deter
mine the sanitary condition of its wa
ters. The examination would be with
the special purpose of ascertaining the
extent to which the river is polluted
by sewerage from Washington and
would furnish additional information
as to whether it is really fact that
oysters in the beds in the lower part
of the stream are made insanltary
because of the unhealthful condition
Of the water.
An investigation recently made by
health experts in behalf of the pub
lie health service, acting with experts
appointed by the States Of Maryland
and Virginia, failed to produce al
agreement on the question.
The Carlin bill would appropriate
$4,000 to pay the expenses of the
survey. The measure was referred
to the appropriations committee.

To Japan-Said To Be the
Plan Launched.
THEY ARE LIABILITY TO U. S.
Japs Need Them. We Don't,
So Why Not Let the
Islands Go?
A PERTINENT TOPIC JUST now

Seattle, Wash, June 2S.-"Sell
the Philippine Islands to Japan!"
Whether or not movement to
bring about a sale will be launched
in this country, is now under dis
cussion by members of the Seattle
Commercial Club.
Sell them quick; they are a liza
bility," is the plea of those favor
ing the plan.
you can't sell them without adj
hitting to the world that the Unit.
ed States made a mistake in buying
them" is the argument of those
opposed to It.
at would be foolish to start such
move only to have Japan say,
thanks, but | don't want EN- but
the highest japanese on the Pacific
Coast admit that Japan is only
waiting for Uncle Sam to hint that
he wants to SELL
Friends of the proposition point
out that this country forgot the
Monroe Doctrine when it bought
lands in the Orient.
Other reasons advanced for their
sale are:
The Islands are source of mil
itary and naval expense; the garri-
son will have to be increased from
year to year if the investment of
American capital there is to be en-
couraged.
The only excuse for holding them
is. that they help American trade
in the Far East. Eliminating the
trade made necessary by military
occupation, the remaining trade at
present is negligible, when com
pared to the trade with Japan and
China.
That the islands would be ditfi-
cult to hold in case of war with any
foreign Power.
That. the United States doesn t
need colonies for excess population
or exploitation, but has all that IL
can handle in taking care of its af-
fairs.
That Japan needs the Philippines
for colonization purposes.
1t is pointed out that this is an
age of reciprocity; that Uncle Sam
is even now considering the ce Ii ;g
to Canada of strip of Southeast
ern Alaska, which cuts off a great
deal of British Columbia's land
from the sea, and that the sale of
the Philippines to Japan would
make Nippon our friend forever,
and be practical fulfllment of the
Golden Rule.
The sale of the islands would in
volve so much international red
tape. that those interested are MAX
ing haste slowly and so far, the
project, although before the club
has only reached the talk
ing stage. The thing to be decid-'
ed is shall the Government be en-
couraged to sell the Philippines to
Japan?"
