BY THE PRESIDENT.

At time when my fellow citizens
must accept my arguments as free from
partisan bias and devoid Of political
consideration, but while may still ad-
dress them from the powerful vantage
point of the White House. I am glad 10
make one more appeal for "thc little
brown brother in the Philippines. 10
voice one more warning against the un-
wise and III considered policy Of those
who advocate carly Philippine inde-
pendence."
No one is more solicitoUs for The ultl-
mate attainment OF self government by
the Filpinos than I, but no one reaiizes
more clearly than | that independence
of the Philippines prematureiy granted
will mean inevitably the ensiaVement
OF the Filipino. The father who grants

The Amazon river drains a ter

utar:es from thousand to two
thousand miles long. With the
construction of a few short canals
water communication would be
uninte rrupted from the Caribbean
Coast southwark to the La Palta,
and the short distance between the
head waters of the Amazon

canal, with every assurance of
success.
The Amazon is $500 miles long

two hundred feet throughout two
thirds Of its length. 1t is wider
and deeper than any other river
in tie world, the average depth
from seventy-five to one hundred

it has a depth of two hundred and
