FLIPINOS FACE CHAOS,
SAYS CONGRESSMAN
Clarence B. Miller Assails
Clarke Bill for Independence
of Islands

WASHINGTON, Feb S.-"Tf the scut-
tie policy OF giving the Filiptnos inde-
pendence In four years Is adopted In the
House. II will result in conditions in
the islands worse than undei Spanish
rule. today declared Representative Clar-
ence b. Miller, of Minnesota, &. member OF
the House 1nsular Affairs Committee, who
has made two exhaustive tours of the
islands. he spoke in reference to tho
Senate's action yesterdayln adopting the
Clarke amendment.
Apparently the motive for this action
was n feeling among Senators that the
Philippines were a liability and no. nn
asset and that II the United States were
rid of the islands. with no responsibility
for them, we would be strengthened in Il
military way. | don't believe this view
is sound, and ! have the authority Of
UP.
THE Democrats seemed to feel that
this was q party measure, and there was
no discussion whether the provision was
for the welfare OF the islanders or wheth-
ceive independence In four years. II the
