JAPANESE FEAR FOR
PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE

Toxic. Japan. Japanese Journals
which comment on the bill before the
American congress granting eventual
independence to the Philippine is
lands generally express the opinion
that the best interests of the Filipinos
would be served by remaining under
the rule of the United States. Never
theless the American project has In
Hdnced no very wide discussion in
Japan. &
The Jill thinks that independence
for the Philippines might serve to re-
move suspicion Of Japan held by peo-
pie in the United States, but doubts
whether Independence would be OF
real benefit to the islanders. It points
out that the Filipinos have been en-
joying progress and prosperity to ia
considerable degree under American
administration, and is inclined to feel
that it may be too early to give them
independence. The journal concludes
with the opinion that it would be Of
permanent benefit to the islanders to
remain under American rule.

WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED
BY NATIONAL BUREAU

The national employment bureau is
operated as division of the depart
ment of labor, of which William B.
Wilson is secretary. The department
of labor has the active cooperation
of the postoffice department and the
department of agriculture and they
are bringing the jobless man and the
manless job together.
The employment bureau is a bu-
reau of information with which those
wanting work file their names and
addresses and in which those want
ing men to fo work file their names
and addresses. The bureau does the
rest. 1t bring the two together.

ated eighteen zones of operation, each
with its headquarters, to which ap-
plicants for work and for workers
are sent. In six months $4,000 appli.
cations were filed and II, 900 Of the
applicants We're given the jobs they
asked for In the month following
the six month period, 5000 appli-
cants received work out of the $4,000
that asked for work, the system pro.
ducing better results as its managers
became accustomed to their duties.
Secretary Wilson believes that the

unemployed and that through this
exchange all persons out of employ.
ment will be given employment.

ing under a system conceived by r.

SUGGESTS POSSIBILITY OF
cHAs. HUGHES MOVEMENT

| A call has been issued by Chas. III.
Burke, republican national committee
man from this state, for general
conference of republicans to be held
at Mitchell on April to propose a
list of candidate to represent the state
at the republican national convention
TO be held in Chicago on June I.
Attention is called to the fact that
a handpicked delegation is now being
l"arranged" by two men who set out
| to say who should go to the national
convention and who should Stay at
home They determined in advance
that all of these delegates should be
! tied fast to the falling cause Of Sena-
ltor Cummins and they have adhered
Ito this position in spite of the increas-
ing likelihood that Senator Cummins
can not be nominated, and in spite
of the fact that most of the states
will seiia an unpledged delegation to
Chicago in the hope that the conven-
ton, being left free to act would
make a wise choice of the candidate.
| 1t is clear that with the right candi-
date the republicans. would have a
good chance to win in the election in
November but that it would be very
easy to make fatal mistake. 1t lis
not proposed at the meeting to CON
ssder state politics but only to look
over the national situation. In spite
of the heroic efforts to create senti-
ment in South Dakota for Senator
Cummins, the impression grows that
Charles g. Hughes is the candidete
who is really desired by South Dako-
tans. Our people not only believe
that Judge Hughes could be elected
iii nominated but they believe that
| he would accept the nomination if
! rendered by the practically unani-
nous vote of the convention. That
being so, it would appear to be a
good idea to put the South Dakota
delegation where 1t could help instead
of hurt, as would be the case with a
delegation pledged by the primary to
Senator Cummins. And back of the
Cummins delegation now being framed
is the likelihood that the delegation
would carry the names Of a good
