Time for Action.
The present session of congress
comes at time when definite deCla-
ration Of policy regarding the Philip
pines, whether of independence or of
permanent annexation, should be
made. The question of adequate ma
tional defense is at present pressing
for solution. Before congress can de-
eide how strong an army and navy is
needed in order to protect the United
States from foreign invasion, it must
know first what territory will be per
manently included in the United
States. 1t is evident that the larger
the territory the less compact it is
and the more widely separated its
portions, the bigger the army and the
navy needed to defend it. Whatever
may be the army and navy deemed
adequate to protect the continental
+ United States, Hawaii and Porto Rico,
/ this force must be enormously in
creased if the Philippines are to be
/ included in this protection. If the
( Philippine islands are definitely an
neXed to the United States and are,
thus, as much a territory of the Amer
lean nation as any other portion, then
they must be defended and protected
/ as strenuously and vigorously as any
I other foot of American sol
| The humiliation, affront and insult
that the American people would suffer
! from the conquest of the Philippine
/ islands by foreign power would he,
once the Philippines are permanently
annexed, as great as if California,
which was formerly Mexico's, were
conquered
| THE question, therefore. arises:
/ Should the Philippines permanently
remain American territory, in
/ which case millions of dollars must be
spent for their military preparation,
! or should they be given their indie
pendence and thus be excluded from
such a program Of preparation?
/ FiIipinoS Love Liberty.
| That the only right. wise and pro
( ftable policy for the United States to
pursue is promptly to grant the Phil

opinion, unquestionable 1t is right
because the Filipino people. accord

tenets, have, lige every other people,
I the God given right to enjoy their
own Independent existence. 1t is wise
because it decreases the possibilities
of international complications that
may involve the United States in war.
! 1t is profitable because it will save the
United States treasury hundreds of
millions of dollars, with no compen-
sating material returns, that would
have to be expended in terrifying the
islands and in giving them an army
and navy commensurate with the ire
mendous difficulties OF their defense if
| they were to be retained Such policy
! is in accord with the wishes of the
Filipino people and is demanded by
every principle of international law
and natural rights.

URGED BY QUEz0N
Resident Commissioner Delivers Bril-
liant Address Before After Din.
ner Club. Moline.
DEFINITE POLICY Is NEEDED
Imperative United States Announces
Without Delay ii 1t viii Hold or
Release Islands.

Every consideration Of right and
expediency now demands that the
American people promptly grant the
Filipino people independence"
dramatically declared Hon. Manuel L.
Quezon. resident commissioner to the
United States from the Philippines, in
a brilliant address last evening before
several hundred members of the Aft
or Dinner club. Moline. He was intro
duced bq f. +. Morgan.
Mr., Quezon was a member Of the
staff Of General Aguinaldo and was
floor leader of the first Philippine as
sembly. He is now spokesman in the
United States congress for the Fill
pinos. On May Is. 1909, he was elect
ed resident commissioner of the Phil
lppine islands in the United States
and was unanimously reelected for
another four years on Nov u, 1872?
He Is considered the best posted man
in this country on the Philippine ques-
ton and those who heard him last
evening were amazed at his eloquence.
Are Big Expense.
One Of two positions must be taken
at once by the United States in ref
erence TO the Philippines" argued Mr..
Quezon. Either the islands must be
..tl. permanently or be dropped A
definite policy is what is needed
There is no policy at the present time
The general idea seems to be that the
United States expects 10 hold the is
lands until the inha bitants are pre-
pared for independence. But what is
self government? Does not every
country have different conception Of
it? What is this country's idea about
it? That is what my people would
like to know.
The Philippines have cost this
country from $12,00O.O00 to $4,000,
600 a year since they were taken by
the United States. Military experts
all declare that the islands are a
source of weakness to this country
and some say that in case of war the
United States would not attempt to
defend them. Would this be fair to
US?
Colony Idea Unpopular.
What is the United States TO do
with the Philippines? If the islands
are annexed, one Of two things could
be done The islands could be made
a state. a part of the union or they
could become colony. | do not
believe your people would stand for
either. In the former instance, the
balance Of power between the two
leading parties in congress might be
held by the Filipino, whose interests
would naturally be inclined to his own
far away home and this would mill
tate against this country. If the is
lands were made a colony. then what
effect would all of the lessons of lib
eTty have which American teachers
have been instilling in the minds of
our youth. Is the American republic
10 become the American empire? | do
not believe it. Then there is but one
thing left. Give the Philippine is
lands their independence Can they
govern themselves? The only sure
way 10 find out is to give them a
chance. The only way to find out if a

Mr.. Quezon is an intimate friend of
Congressman Clyde H. Tayenner.
"Tavenner is one of the hardest work
ing members of congress" he declar-
ed to representative of The Argus.
Il knew him when he was news
paper correspondent and before he
became prominent politically, and |
felt then that his industry, perseyer-
ance and real ability were sure to be
eventually recognized. Just now he
is making a profound impression with

been. from the very acquisition of the
Philippines, adopted by the American
people. When a nation gets hold OF
territory inhabited by foreign PEG
pie the first question that should be
decided is this: Is this territory TO
be added permanently to the nation or
is it to be disposed of? Before this
question is answered, no wise meas
ure affecting the relations between the
acquired territory and the conquer
ing nation can be determined upon,
for it is obvious that absolutely OPP
posite. or at least, different measures
must be adopted in the one case and
in the other"
Theodore Yangeo, chairman Of the
Philippine chamber of commerce and
one of the most important figures IN
commercial and financial circles in
the islands, also made a brief speech
in which he invited American capital
to invest in his country and urged es-
tablishment of better trade relations
between the United States and the is
lands.
