DENIES JAPANESE
SEEK PHILIPPINES
Would Want 81 ,000,0 OO,O 900
Bonus to Take Them as
Gift, Says Iyenaga.

Japan would not take the Philippine
Islands as a gift unless accompanied by
a bonus of $1,000, 100000, Professor 7.
Iyenaga, Of Chicago University, de-
clared yesterday. Professor lyenaga
represents the japanese News Bureau.
He spoke at the close of discussion at
the Republican Club on the future Of
the islands.
There is a point not touched on here
to day." said Professor Iyenaga, (which
! wish to call TO your attention. That
is Americas suspicion that Japan has
a sinister design on the Philippines.
wish to say that japan has never
dreamed, nor will she ever dream, of
selling the Philippine Islands.
Il will say more; even if you present
the islands to Japan as a gift-unless
accompanied by bonus of sl0OO,OOO,-
OOO-Japan will decline your offer. The
islands are as unfit for colonization by
japanese as by the United States. 1t
is time that you should XII, once and
for all this gigantic monster of sus-
picion.'
General Francis V. Greene, although
he declared that most of the Flllplnos
were satisfied with their relations with
the United States and that he hoped
the islands would remain in our pos
session a 5 a colony, said President Nc
Kinley never contemplated seizure OF
the archipelago.
II was McKinley's intention, General
Greene continued. TO acquire only Ma
Mia and few more positions on the
island of Luzon.
DR.. Arthur j. Brown and Martin Egan
believed that the islands could not be
reinquished al present.
Representative William p. Borland,
Of Missouri, thought there was small
excuse for delay in leaving the FIN
pinos to shift for themselves. Three
arguments for remaining IN control
we're mentioned by Mr.. Borlsnd: That
the islands will pay; moral duty to the
Filipinos, and that We cannot pull
down the flag"
The first was advanced by certain
large business combinations, he de
clared. He thought the islands might
pay sugar refners or certain special
interests lie did not think they would
pay citizens in general. who had 10
support $4,000 soldiers to guard them.
As 20 the second, Mr. Borland
thought our moral duty was to let the
Filipinos rule themselves. as he was
sure they were capable OF doing. The
United States a g was menace 10 the
Philippines instead OF protection
from foreign attack, he asserted.
No disgrace attached to pulling
down the flag" he concluded, provid-
ing that we did il ourselves. and solely
because il was an expression Of the
sentiment Of the body OF the people.
NO political party in the United
States" said Mr.. Borland. has ever
advocated or ever will advocate the
retention of the Philippines
and their incorporation into the Ameri-
can union. Such a course would give
rise to new and compll lated race
