Mr.. Ouczon on the Jones Bill Preamble

Commissioner Manuel Quczon, though a sup
porter Of the Jones bill, did not make a good wit
ness for it before the Senate Committee on the
Philippines The Jones measure, IN its preamble,
assumes that the Fipnos desire independence
and that the United States has never had any
other purpose in view than to thrust IT upon them
as soon as possible. But Mr.. Quezon admits that
a majority Of the Filipino people may not care to
cut loose from the protection OF the United
States. He says that all his countrymen want is
a chance to vote on the question of independence.
Yet the Jones preamble neRects to stipulate for
a plebiscite to determine whether or not separa-
ton is desirable. Why should Mr.. Jones oppose a
showdown between those who are for indepen-
dence and those who are against it?
Mr. Quezon also admitted that the Jones pream-
bic is a mere political declaration, not binding on
anybody but the Congress passing it and the
President signing it, In that respect il is on a
par with the McEnery resolution, passed in 1899,
which nearly everybody has forgotten The
present Congress cannot commit future Con-
crosses" says Mr.. Quezon. Nevertheless, he
values the preamble above the bin itself pre-
ferring to have the measure fail If the preamble
is to be sacrificed. Mr.. Quezon thus exposes the
real attitude toward the bill Of the Filipino poll
ticians for whose benefit it has been drawn. They
want to use the preamble for agitation purposes
at home. They can attach "A vast Importance TO
it there although they fully realize how little it
counts for as a pledge in this country. Mr.. Quezon
and his friends know well enough what they are
after. BY approving the Jones preamble Con-
gress would only be playing into their hands, en-
couraging intrigue and unrest in the Philippines
instead of helping the Filipinos 10 learn the prac-
teal lessons of local self-goyernment.

Our Welcome to Belgian Immigrants

Il is our duty and privilege as a nation to
welcome Belgians 20 America in whatever groups
or however bercft of resources they may reach
our shores That is the sense Of the situation, it
is the sentiment Of the country and we hope that
Congress will be moved 20 take some action max

There can be no question Of the desrability Of
Belgian immigrants. They belong to the thrift
lest and most intelligent stock Of Europe; and
their stamina and courage need no proof. In
normal times it is impossible to encourage large
immigration from Belgium, and we should re-
joice at the opportunity 70 add this admirable
blood TO our racial stock. As for our obligation,
there is probably no one thing that would so re-
lieve the desperate situation among the Belgian
refugees as large scale immigration. We have

THE NEED OF VENTILATION
How Health and Lives of Subway
Travellers Could Be Saved.
tor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: On Wednesday the people OF
New York received warning, when hun
dreds of passengers were sutfocated N
the subway. The next occurrence may
be far more serious in loss OF life
due to similar cause sutfocatlon.
No time should be lost in remedying
the most serious defect of the subway
namely, lack Of suitable ventilation
at all times.
II has been shown by the successful
ventilation Of the London tubes that
equally good results may be obtained
in this city by adopting similar meth
DDS. They have put in operation SUIT
able air cleaning plants, so that eO,-
100000 cubic feet Of air charged with
ozone is forced through the tunnel
daily: $1,000 cubic feet of pure arr is
forced through every minute. drawing
an equal amount Of vitiated air out.
Besides saving the lives of hundreds
from asphyxiation in case OF accident
like the one yesterday. the lives of all
who ride in the subway may be pro
longed by furnishing suitable air to
breathe at all times, which they are en-
titled to have Aside from the neces-
sarily crowded condition of the cars, no
one can safely ride in them with the
present suffocating, germ laden atmoS-
phere without danger 10 health.
Owing TO the composition of the ma
jority of the present Public Service
Commission no aid or protection for
the people can be expected from them
as now constituted.
Governor Whitman can do the people
no greater service than By recognizing
this branch of the public service.
