TO BE INDEPENDENT

WASHINGTON, April 4-Secre- tary of War Baker addressing the members of the Philippine mission which has come to the United States seeking Independence for their peo- ple, stated that the American nation loved freedom too dearly to deny it to others.
 He assured the members of the mission that he spoke for President Wilson in saying that the time had come to grant complete Independence to the Philippines.
 The members of the mission were highly elated over the faS orablc re- teption accorded them and express themselves as entirely satisfied with the statement made by Secretary Baker.
 The mission feels sure that as soon as President Wilson returns from the Peace Conference the American gov .; nment will take steps to grant them their desire for an independent gov ernment for the island archipelago.

: rejected, or that certain amendments
] be adopted. There is a disposition
among many Republican politicians at
! present to lie with one ear glued to
the ground and to refrain from COM
hitting themselves until unmistak-
able sound waves from back home
give them their cue.
Republicans cautious.
Lodge. Root, Knox. have taken up
more definite positions than the bulk
Of Republicans in Washington are
now willing to assume until the trend
of public opinion becomes more mani
fest. How far Republican leaders are
mOtived in their opposition by parti-
sanship, to what extent their convic-
tons are genuine it is difficult to say.
Many Democrats on the other hand,
evidently feel that it is a matter of
party advantage 10 ram through ev-
erything that comes from the presi-
dents hand just as il is: they fear
that if beneficial amendments or in
-terpretations of the covenant are
adopted political capital will be made
out Of them for the Republicans in
the next election.
It would be pleasant to assure the
reader that both domestic factions
have agreed TO unite in considering
these great issues, pregnant with the
fate Of the world. in their bearing
upon future generations rather than
upon poll to be taken in this coun-
try in 1920. But it is unfortunately
impossible to give that assurance, and
accordingly the general summary of
eastern opinion given in this story
should be considered in the light of
the fact that most fasteners. es-
pecially in the larger cities, are Re
publicans.
Politics Big Factor.
Washington opinion is that the
treaty of peace will be ratified, in
GLIDING the league covenant. but that
resolutions will be passed interpreting
the meaning Of certain clauses in the
covenant in such a way that Amer
ica's obligations to the league viii be
made less. There is a purely partisan
way of looking at this matter. and I
regret to say that many Republicans
and Democrats alike see the settle
ment through political spectacles-
There are as many Democrats who
insist that party prestige demands
no alteration in what the president
has done. and who refuse to con-
slider objections on their merits. as
there are Republicans who declare
taht changes must be made so as to
enable them to shout from the stump
next year that the G. o. p. prevented
Wilson from throwing away American
liberties and gave the country a real
peace and a real league Of nations.

Issues Of the moment, of most of those

men had given thought to our foreign
policy and had cleancut opinions on
questions which a few months ago
had never occurred to them. Many
men I found, too, who frankly ad-
mitted their ignorance about the
treaty. the covenant the Russian
question But in nearly all cases
these men who prOfessed that they
had no views were suspicious Of what
has been done in Paris. The fair
average among them was expressed
by a storekeeper from New Bruins

in Wilson remains and who says. like
a Masse chusetts farmer met while
going TO Boston. What Wilson says
is good enough for this country is
good enough for me" The main sur
