Abolition of Slavery in the Philippines.

American policy in the Philippines and the need
Of American authority in those provinces were WIZ
dicated yesterday in remarkable manner "hen
the National Assembly, an elective body of native
Filipinos after an animated debate, enacted an eff
fectiye law for the abolition and prohibition OF hui
man slavery.
The prevalence of that twin relic of barbarisn
in fine islands was well known TO American admin
istrotors some time ago and earnest efforts were
made to secure its suppression For obvious reasons
i was desirable that abolition should he effected by
act of the Flplnos themselves rather than by eX-
ecutive decree of the United states government
But suggestions to that end rejected by the
Filipino leaders The National Assembly specifically
refused to take action. 1t was denied that there
was any slavery. But if there was, the existing
Spanish law was sufficient to deal with it. To ask
any new legislation insult to the liberty loV
ing Filipino nation And, anyway, Mr.. Worcester
and the other Americans who reported the existence
Of slavery we're shameless belerS. In such fashion
did Mr. Quezon and his fellow advocates OF the
"scuttle" policy declaim.
Yet Yesterday. by an almost unanimous vote, the
pbippine Assembly enacted precisely the law
which had been suggested and Indignantly rejected.
We cannot suppose that it did regarding its action
unnecessary, or that IL cohsciouS! ahIoHtcu 10
constituents In no rational way can It's ACTON pe
interpreted save as confession that slavery mas
been I'm existence and that the new legislation s'ig-
eested by the American commissioners is needed for
IFS suppression In brief. the American representa-
tons and prescriptions are vindicated in every de-
tail.
And there is irresistibly raised this pertinent ana
,mnortant question: Would the Fiipinos have abol-
isbed slavery without the strenuous urging OF
American administrators? And If American control
has boen necessary for the accomplishment of this
reform, for how much else is it equally needed!
