HOME RULE IN
PHILIPPINES IS
CALLEDDANCER
Dean Worcester Points Out Weak
nesses of Islanders Which
Make Policy Bad,
Continued From Page I.

-------
TO be in vogue in Mexico and would
be prac;iced in the Philippines again,
as in the past
I'VE stoutly asserted, in 1899, that
the F'ilipinos were not fit to govern
their own country, and this was GER
tainly then true. IT, in the short
space OF fifteen years, with leaders
who have recently committed almost
incredible barbarities, we had rem
dered them fit, we should have per-
formed the most wonderful political
miracle the world has ever seen.
"And what have we ever gained by
concessions to Filipino politicians?
Can anyone point out a single in
stance in which they have aroused a
feeling Of gratitude, pr even that
sense of obligation which may fully
justify the adoption of measures that
would otherwise be of doubtful util-
ity? No.
The Jones Bill.
"This fact is well illustrated by the
attitude of the politicians toward the
Jones bill. providing for the estab-
lishment Of the Philippine Republic
on July 4, 1913, and independence in
1920.
Hardly were its terms known in
Manila when various politicians an
nounced that the Filipinos did not
want to wait till 1920; they wanted
independence right away.
Before we can safely declare the
Filipinos ready for government
we must bring them down to the
place where they no longer regard
bandit leaders as popular heroes-we
must wean them from their hostility
toward legitimate foreign business
interests: we must teach them that
agriculture comes before art that the
poor Filipino must be encouraged to
own and till his own land and not be
held as a slave or peon."
Mr.. Worcester then cites the views
of Woodrow Wilson. when he was a
professor at Princeton, which views
Mr. Wilson set down in his "Constitu-
tional History Of the United States"
Mr.. Worcester adds:
Warning for Wilson.
Let us hope that President Will
son, in embarking so boldly not to
say rashly, as he has done on the pol
icy of giving to the Filipinos a radical
increase in the control they are al
lowed to have in their own affairs and
OF leaving them subsequently to dem
onstrate their fitness or unfitness to
exercise it, viii at least be bound by
the actual results of an experiment
which, as everyone familiar with To-
cal conditions in the islands well
knows, is fraught with the greatest
danger
THE real question is: Shall they
make their long and adventurous
journey guided, helped and protected
by the strong and kindly hand of the
United States of America, or shall
they be left to stagger along alone,
blind in their own conceit under the
keep and watchful eye of another
powerful nation, hungrily awaiting
their first step?'

Farmer Makes Less
Than Section Hand

CHAMPAIGN. ILL, March THE
American farmer is cheating himself
when ne thinks he is making money
by farming BY his own labor. he is
really making less money than the
wages of a section hand. and he would
fare better financially il he took the
money he has invested in land, put it
out at interest and went to work at
made money-but by the advance in
value OF his land.
These are some of the conclusions
drawn by 3. F. Harris of Champaign,
In the February issue of The Banker
Farmer, edited by him for the American
Bankers Association.

NEW YORK, March IA number OF

day with the result that the tone was
barely steady. First prices ranged 3
points higher to points lower, March

After the call, spot houses exerted
considerable pressure against March, re-

general selling which forced May and

such is natural ana is in the usual
order There has been some weak

have been shaded a little at most of
the ceDters.
100000 Bale Crop.
One thing that has occupied much
attention has been the enlargement
of crop ideas to 100000 bales. This
has been stimulated by the continued
freedom of receipts, although it was
claimed by the bulls weeks ago that
exhaustion was not far hence. There
has been a slower rate of reduction
than anybody expected and the
consequence has been that traders
showed that cotton was coming for
ward and promised to leave much
smaller deficiency between needs and
supply than was thought possible.
The official figures on the Indian
crop, the largest competitor of this
country, showing an increase or about
600, 600 bales over last year. also has
supplied bears with campaign ma
terlal The better grades have con-
tinued strong, but tie market has
been made more by the lower grades,
the others being relatively very
scarce.
Spot Demand Moderate.
Demand for spots has been but mod
crate, buying being confined almost
entirely to those concerns that were
under contract for March shipment.
SpinneTs have distributed few new
buying orders. 1t is figured that the
mills in this country and Canada will
need around 100000 bales, which
would Indicate that before a new crop
can be available the visible supply of
the old will be reduced to small pro-
portions.
The weather is becoming more inn
portant, and any bad developments
will find quick response. The general
assumption continues to be that rec
ord acreage will be planted, although
with new crop options selling at
about 1l25 cents, it seems to the
average market observer that a great
deal has been discounted.
