RETORTS EX-PRESIDENT

This Is the statement written for THE
SuN by ex-President Taft:
"To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Sir;
When ! was in San Francisco ! wrote
and delivered an address before the
Commonwealth club of that city on the
policy of the last three national Admin
istrations in the Philippines and its
beneficial results and upon the foolish
changes from that policy adopted by the
present Administration and their disas-
trous effect. and the increased burden
II was likely to entail upon the Filiplnos
and our country. ] based what had to
say on what had been done I'm the ISL

experiences and my official knowledge
and as TO the events since the coming

Oakland Tribune. M..'srs. Alfred Holman

els B Loomis, formerly Assistant Secre-
tary OF State, both of whom ] knew and
respected, wrote me letters introducing a
correspondent of their paper who asked
me to comment on an article concerning
the Philippines. written by Mr.. g. Gar
field Jones' which the tribune was about
to publish. ! replied that | had no
time then either to read the article or
to comment upon 1t, but that II he would

him on the subject of his article before

evidently written by one who had been
I'm the islands and who had observed the

what he said AS to the Generalization
OF the present Government, due to the
policy OF the present Administration. had
come to me from many other sources,
which / was and am still sure are re-
liable, and ! therefore wrote short
note on the article saying so, and ex-
pressing my condemnation OF the present
policy and my sadly confident belief
that the whole country would regret It,

fishes. reflects upon hls crsdibility - .
