United States Should Retain
Islands for Strategical
Purposes.
WOULD CHECK JAPAN
Peonage and Slavery Two
Practical Evils Amoug
the Filipinos.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 91.-Reten-
ton Of the Philippine islands by the
United States for the purposes OF
naval strategy in event OF war with
q foreign nation, such as Japan, was
advocated today by Dean c. Worces-
ter, testifying before the senate Phil
ippine committee on the bill to en-
large the Philippine government.
Mr.. Worcester formerly was secretary
OF the interior in the Philippines.
In addition to his discussion or the
military importance of the islands.
Mr.. Worcester told the committee he
had private dispatc tches that the pres"
ent disturbance in the islands was in
significant In accomplishments but
dangerous on account of agitation OF
the lower classes He said peonage
was the greatest practical evil on the
islands and that slavery still existed.
He urged the committee not to at
tempt by force to eradicate polygamy
from among the Moros, but to allow 1t
to die out as the result Of friendly
teaching.
Save Nom Christians.
Finally Mr.. Worcester pleaded with
the committee to save the non-Chris-
tian tribes from determination by the
Filipinos. He urged that the bill be
amended by providing for a lieutenant
governor for the non-Christian tribes
to have the power to annul legislation
touching these tribes.
The statement regarding the
strategical importance Of the Philip
pines followed the remark by Chair
man Hitchcock that some persons ad-
vocated American withdrawal from
the islands, without regard to the in
terests Of the Philippines. in order to
avoid the possibility Of involving the
United States in war.
Mr.. Worcester declared ii was idle
to deny Japan could land an armed
force in the islands and that 1t would
be impossible to prevent very long the
fall Of Manila. The gaining Of the
control Of the Bay Of Manila, however,
he urged, would be far different
matter, and so strongly fortified was
Corregidor that this naval base should
be able to hold out a year before be-
ing taken.
Station in East.
I'VE need a naval station in the far
east" Mr.. Worcester said. mot only
to protect our shores, but to carry "A
war into the land Of the enemy and
require 1t to keep its fleet In Its own
waters. Until we were swept off the
ocean we must have a station In the
east"
