comment on Mr.. Jones article. l 80
not see Mr. Jones. or hold any COM
munication with him before his article
was published. It was sent in manuscript
to me at San Francisco, where l first
saw and read it. What he said as to the
Generalization Of the present government,
due to the elimination of Americans IN
the civil service and the influence OF
Filipino politicians in controlling Mr.
Harrison's action, had come to me from
many other sources knew to be reliable,
and I therefore wrote a short article say
ing so. The letter Of Mr.. Jones. which
Mr.. Garrison publishes. greatly Injuries
Jones' credibilty as witness. and /
greatly regret that he should put himself
in such an equivocal and indefensible
position.
The Justice OF the general descrip-
ton of the bad effects of the present
policy in the islands, to which l re-
ferred in my comment, does not, how
ever. depend upon the credibility of the
witness. The success which attended
our policy in the Philippines was large
ly due to the admirable quality of the
civil servants who were the guiding
force in the bureaus and departments.
1t was a model colonial service, made
up of men who knew the language of
the people, the history of the govern
