URGE EXAMPLE OF
SELF-DETERMINATION

That friends of Irish independence
in the American Congress could make
more effective impression on Great
Britain by granting Philippine indie
pendence than by merely expressing
sympathy with Irish aspirations is the
suggestion contained in a statement is
sued by the Philippine Press Bureau
Of Washington, d. G.
''Twice in a period of nine months"
reads the statement, "the United States
Senate went on record as being In SYM
pathy with the aspirations of the Irish
people for a government Of their own
choice
"Still another way for the friends Of
Irish independence in the American
Congress to make an impressive argu-
ment would be to grant the independ-
ence that the 10,500000 inhabitants Of
the Philippines have repeatedly de-
manded. Americas own representa-
tives in the islands have officially re-
ported they are ready for independence
and have recommended that such indie
pendence be granted.
eve submit that the granting of
Philippine independence would be like
ly to be accepted by Great Britain as
even stronger proof of Americas be-
lief In self-determination than the pas
sage of the Irish resolutions, because
Great Britain's councillors of state
could not then successfully make the
point that the American Congress is
asking Great Britain to do something
the United States itself has been asked
to do and has not DONE
1.-THE Filipino people have confidence
in the word of America and hope that
now that the Senate has reiterated its
sympathy with the principle of self
determination it win give Great Brit
ain and the other powers Of the world
q concrete example of consistency and
good faith by granting Philippine In
dependence"

GETTING NEWS HARD WORK

The Higginsville Jeffersonian, COM
menting on the vast amount of mis-
information that finds it's way into
print concerning any particular event
or happening of more than passing
interest, has this to say:
"Wr. M. Ledbetter, one time edit
or Of the Globe Democrat of st. Louis,
made the remark to the editor of this
paper when he was a reporter for
that paper that the average person is
full of transformation. The case of
the Odessa Bank robbery proves it..
The amounts stolen have varied from
$500 to $4,000. The car that the rob-
bers got away in seems uncertain. All
reports vary. We are looking for
someone to say the bandits escaped in
an airplane. This all proves that you
can believe nothing that you hear and
only half of what you see."

plans developed, Gov. Cox would car
ry the fight direct to the people and
would visit majority of the states"
