and fulfilling all International obliga-
tons, there was a stable government
In Cuba, and American troops were
withdrawn
When Congress passed the Jones
law, it simply borrowed the phrase
stable government" from the Cuban
history and applied it to the Philip
pines. The history of Philippine leg
islation shows that in black and white.
With full knowledge of what it meant,
the Filipino people accepted the Jones
law and Immediately began setting up
the stable government required by Con
gresS as a prerequisite to independ-
ence. The stable government is now
a fact. 1t is indeed more than that; it
is an undisputed fact.
The official representative of the
United States in the Philippine Islands,
the Governor General, reported to the
American Congress and the administra-
ton that the Filipino people have es-
tablished the stable government de-
manded by Congress as a prerequisite
for the granting of independence
namely, a government elected hy the
suffrage of the people, which is sup
ported by the people, which is capable
of maintaining order and of fulfilling
its international obligationS'
The Philippine question is therefore
no longer question of politics, argu-
ment or supposition To the Philip
pine mind. at least, II is now a ques-
ton of whether the United States is
