OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
lFrom Aberdeen Newsl

"
Mr., Taft, too, has been exceedingly
chary of criticism OF the present adj
ministration, and wherever it has
been possible, has upheld the hands
of President Wilson--notably in re-
spect to the presidents conduct of
affairs arising in connection with the
European war. So, taking everything
into consideration, the remarks the
former president made concerning
affairs In the Philippines will attract
attention to the fact that the present
administration Is muldling the Fill
pino affairs pretty much al It has
lnuddled Mexican affairs.
Mr.. Taft, In his address, charged
Governor General Harrison. "a Tam
many congressman Of long standing
as knowing nothing about the Philip.
pines, their people or their problem;
that Harrison is virtually controlled
by Manuel Quezon, a delegate To con
gress from The islands, and IA Filipino
politician Of not the highest standing
in the Philippines and charges that
Harrison has made wholesale remoy-
ais Of able and experienced American
officials and replaced them with in.
competent natives on the advice oi
Quezon and other native leaders.
The former president also denounc
ed the premise made to the Fflipinos
OF an independent government as
soon as d stable government q u

Taft ON the Philippines

by a longer training in partial self
government.
Concerning Mexica. Mr.. Taft said:
Our policy OF so-called, but mis-cal-
led, watchful waiting has dragged on
greatly to the detriment of all con-
cerned. Now the anarchy for which
we are in part responsible has de-
yeloped raids into the United States
and the killing of our W people
with the very weapons of war which
our unwise lifting of the embargo
against the Importation Of arms into
Mexico furnished our a~ssailants.
| only refer to our Mexican policy
by way Of Illustration In warning you
that the policy now being pursued in
the Philippines, of which we hear lit
tie in the noise and excitement OF the
European war, Is in the end likely to
return to plague us and demand Jul
attention much as Mexican affairs are
thrusting themselves upon us.
On the whole, 1t seems high time
for the American people to take an
interest in what the administration
lis doing In the Philippines, and K
try to accomplish in Mexico--if i
knows itself-even while givins
President Wilson and Secretar,
Lansing credit for what they hay,
done in connection with the affairs
Of the United States in Its relation
ID the European war.
