TO FREE ISLANDS
L. 5. May Give Philippines Self
Government in Two Years.
Senate Passes Clarke Amend
ment to Bill by One Vote.

Washington, Feb. By the bare
majority of one vote-and that by
Vice President Marshall-the senate
Wednesday afternoon passed the
Clarke amendment to the Philippine
self governing bill, granting independ-
ence to the islands within not less than
two years nor more than four The
count of the first ballot stood Al to Al
and the vice president cast his vote
with the affirmative Before passage,
however. the proposal of Senator
Kenyon to strike from the bill all
references to any guarantee of the
sovereignty of the islands on the part
OF the United States was adopted.
Other phases of the pending bill still
remain to be passed on. but the vital
question was settled with passage of
the Clarke amendment.
The extreme limit of time when in
dependence must be granted is March
/, 1921. The amendment provides
that a stable and independent govern
ment must be recognized by the presi-
dent in not less than two nor more
than four years after the approval of
| the pending measure.
Leave Loop Hole.
The president. however, in his dis
erection. if not satisfied with conditions
I in the islands, may extend the time
until the adjournment of the first ses-
sion of congress after the four years
period, for the purpose of giving con-
gress a further opportunity to express
itself. In effect, therefore. the final
settlement of the problem is left to the
next administration and another con-
gress.
The amendment proposed by Sena-
tor Hitchcock. which was desired by
the administration, was defeated, IS
to "a This provided for independ-
ence in from four to six years after
the converting of the next Philippine
7 legislature, with authority to the pres
ident TO extend that period one year
1t did not include guarantees by this
! government. but required stable
government and the submission of a
constitution TO the people of the is
lands.
Playing for Time.
Senator kenyon's amendment was
then voted upon. There was an indi-
| cation in the way the vote was cast
that several of those who voted for
the Kenyon amendment did for the
purpose of weakening the bill in the
hope eventually of defeating it alto
gether. Twenty-three Republicans
and eleven Democrats who supported
the Kenyon proposition voted against
the Clarke amendment to which the
Kenyon amendment was attached. a
motion by Senator Lippett to recon-
nit the bill on the ground that the
amendment adopted was not in har-
mony with the remainder of the bill
and not in keeping with its general
purpose, was defeated by vote of so

Speakers Letter.

It reads as follows:
My Dear Martin: Answering YOUR
letter a s to whether it is better for YOU
to stay on the job here or go campaien-
ing in your district, my own Judgment
is that you ought to stay here. 1 be-
heve If you do that your constituents
VIII realize the fact that you are deter
mined to discharge the duties for the
term of which you were elected and
Will take care of you.
The situation in Congress is by no
means satisfactory. The House has
done very well. but the Senate is very
much behind. We only have twenty
three majority in the House, which is
a very narrow margin as compared
with the whole membership of the
House-435. If thirteen of our men
KICK out or vote with the republicans
II gives them a ma jority. If twenty
Tour of our men absent themselves and
the republicans are all here it gives
them a majority.
July win be crowded with import
ant business. as we'll as the rest of this
month. Very shortly the House appro-
prlatlon bills will be coming back from
the Senate loaded down with amend
ments of all sizes and sorts, and we
Will have as much of a fight on some of
tne senate amendments as we had on
the original bills. Conference reports
Will be pouring in. and they are very
important.

Mexican Situation Looms.

Added to all this and the ordinary
run of business we have the Mexican
situation on hand, and no man can tell
what will come out of that at any time
Also. the good roads legislation, the
rural credits bill, and. on top of the
whole thing, the revenue bill, whereby
to raise the money for the extra ordi-
nary expenses that we have undertaken
because of the troubled condition of the
world. l would not be at all surprised
II there are more important matters up
in the House between now and the first
OF August than have ever been up at
any one time
individually. ! have refused all offers
and invitations of every sort that would
take me outside of Washington, be-
cause l think it is of the highest i'm
portance to the democrats that we get
through with this session in time to
give our men an opportunity to go
home and campaign before the election.
] am as certain as I am living If we
had gotten away from here thirty days
sooner two years ago that instead of
having twenty three majority in the
House we would have at least fifty.
Now, the only way for Congress to
get away from here as early as the
middle of August is for all hands. from
the captain to the cook, to stay here
and work at 1t.
Il am giving you the very same ad-
vice that l would give every demo-
cratic m member if they would ask me.
Your friend, CHAMP CLARK"
