WORSHAM SPEAKS BEFORE
CONSERVATION CONGRESS
Albanian Is President of Or
ganization Which Will
Aid Defense
CRv Associated Press.O


WASHINGTON, May 2-Nearly the
entire program of the National Con-
servation congress, which opened here
today, was given over to discussion Of
nioGilizing the counJry's natural re-
sources for national defense. The con-
gress called it's meeting a conference on
national strength and efficiency.
E. Lee Worsham, of Atlanta. president
of the congress. in his opening address,
said:
"The four watchwords before this
country are conservation, efficiency. pa
triOtism and preparedness. The situa-
ton which America faces calls for con-
servation, development and utilization
of the country's resources. There must
be no incompetency, no useless expendi-
ture of either energy, time or sus-
tenance.'
Director John Barrett. of the Pan
American union, who spoke on united
conservation efforts by American re-
publics, made a plea for a wise and pa
tient course by the United States in
Mexico. The future of Pan-American-
ism, he declared, depended on the out
come of the present situation. Latin
America, he said, was watching this
country and any unwise move, war or
Intervention, would destroy confidence
that had been years in the building.

INDEPENDENCE APPEARS
FAR OFF FOR F|LIPINOS
House Kills Senate Bill and
Amendment Giving Liberty
in Four Years

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Independence
for Filipinos seemed far off today as
a result of defeat by the house last
night of the senate bill with the Clarke
amendment providing independence in
four years The house substituted the
Jones bill which would give a greater
measure of self government The pre-
amble of this measure recites that if
is the intention of the United States
eventually to free the Philippines with
out specifying the time.
The bill now goes to a conference of
the house and senate. The house in
structed it's conferees not to agree to
the fixing of any definite date for
Philippine independence.
Manuel l.. Quezon, resident commits
sioner of the Philippines in congress,
predicted that the bill would die in
conference and that the fight for politi-
cal freedom of the islands would be
most difficult in the future. He was
so disappointed he said he wCul1 not
return to congress.
An eight-hour debate over the bill
carried the house into later session
last night and failure greeted repeated
attempts to modify the terms in such
a way as to grant independence between
years from now.
The final vote stood 213 to strike out
the Clarke amendment and 165 against
The vote by which the Jones bill was
substituted was 251 for and II against
The body of the Jones bill contains no
reference to Philippine independence.
