promises by successive republican ad-
ministrations.
The Secretary appeared before the Sen

witness at public hearings on the bill.
He had prepared a statement, tracing
the American policy toward the Philip

styled an Independence BILL" would pro-
vide merely for a further test of the Fill

said from a military standpoint the
islands were liability. not an asset

If he thought the bills provision prohb-
iting polygamy was a wise one. Speak
Ing as private citizen, Mr.. Garrison re-
piled, he did not believe in attempting
to force such matters on non Christians
Nowhere in Christs sayings, he asserted

AMERICA SOMMEl~a
ON BRITISH REPLY
HIGHLY PLEASING

London, January 11.-C:05 p. m.)-Amer-
lean comment on the British preliminary
reply to President Wilson's protest
against the detention of American ship
ping by British warships was read with
great interest by British officials, who
today expressed much pleasure at the
repeated evidences of the friendly spirit
with which the negotiations are proceed
ing.
The British foreign office, it was
pointed out by officials there, never
maintained that the partial statistics
concerning American trade with European
neutrals were conclusive but. on the other
hand, that they We're merely suggestive.
Great Britain, one prominent official
said, fully realizes that Germany rtade
heavy purchases of copper and other
metals useful in war from her European
netghbors preceding hostilities and that
consequently a large supply of copper is
required by these neutrals for domestic
uses. Cases have been established, it Is
added. however, where copper has beer
imported from America and then for
warded to Germany, which makes eau
ton on the part of Great Britain neces-
sary.
A large shipment of crude rubber for
the United States will be released soor
under an agreement reached by the Brit
1sh government and American manufac-
turers, the products from which ma.
terials are not to be shipped to any port
where they may reach Great Britan's
enemies.
