OUR PHILIPPINE PROBLEM.

The acute stage Of the controversy
between former President Taft and
Secretary Of War Garrison over the
details Of our administration in the
Philippines has passed, so far as this
country Is concerned. About this time
the matter has reached the islands
through the newspapers and is prob
ably being discussed there, gleefully
by both sides in the complex politics
OF Manila and to the entire detr1ment
Of any administration plans, lending
further color to the insular belief that
We have no consistent policy upon
which reliance can be placed. TO
keep the controversy alive we now
have the McCumber amendment in
the senate to the bill granting free
dom to the Philippines.
It Is high time to stop theorizing and
partisan political wrangling over the
Philippines. While we are wasting
valuable time in congress and in the
islands, coddling the Filipinos n mo-
ment. curling and cussing them the
next. our real opportunities out there
are lying fallow. The utter ignorance
OF the average congressman as to vital
Philippine facts is amazing.
With eye and ear trained to domes-
tic possibilities, they stop of at Man
liza. Cebu, Iloilo and Zamboanga, lin
spect conditions absorb mountains Of
misinformation usually aided by
disgruntled, discharged officials and

many OF them fail to stand up under
the strain. Chimneys are burned out
and the sparks set fire to adjoining
buildings, wood fttings near the heat

ways, blazes are started that would not
start under ordinary conditions.

return to congress and their constitu-
encies to belch forth lava which loses
nothing that partisan heat can bestow.
These expert" outpourings are not
merely valueless but positively dan.
gerous.
AS a consequence, Philippine bonds,
which should be booming are as drugs
in the market. Vastly alluring world
monopolies are crying in vain for cap
ital. Capital will, not flow into the
Philippines, trade cannot thrive, un.
til the government of the islands is
put upon a busine sslike, instead of up
on an unstable, partisan footing.
There is one possible cure for our
present Philippine muddle. Let us adj
NIT to ourselves and frankly tell the
Filipinos that, while sensible of the
binding character of the promises al
ready given to concede complete Fill.
Pine independence when the Filipinos
are able to sustain and defend them
selves as an Independent nation, we
cannot name in advance that possible
day of severance of political relations.
Let us further indicate to them that
when the day arrives that they have
demonstrated among themselves that
they have the capacity for self-govern-
ment, beyond peradventure, they may
then if they so elect, pass from under
our flag to one OF their own with u
blessing, and with honor to ourselves
in view of the responsibility which we
have = wisely or unwisely = under
taken more in their interests than in
our own. In the meantime they must
trust us to be just and fair, while we
are bound in honor to give them a real
chance to become self GOVERNING, as
we have been doing, as undoubtedly
we will continue to do.
If we had advanced more rapidly
and, prior to August, 1914, set up an
independent Filipino commonwealth
(as was advocated) under an interna-
tional guarantee of naturalization,
what flag would now be flying over the
Philippines? The Far Eastern Re-
view asked this question shortly after
the outbreak of "The Great Folly" Is
it not morally certain that the result
tant complications would have plung-
ed the United States into the war?
This great folly has vitality affected the
pIOUlcIu. AAc AllpluOos
whose aspirations are deserving Of the
heartiest sympathy, should step guard
eddy, cautiously, now, lest they make
an irremediable blunder.
Let us reorganize our government of
the Philippines, remembering that we
have set out to do something that has
never even been attempted in the pre-
vious history of the world = to nation

an alien people, whose history and ira.
ditions have nothing in common with
our own. Let us realize the solemn
truth that we can only succeed by
bending all our own national energies

we must not fail.
