URGE EXAMPLE Of
SELF-DETERMINATI0N

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 n statement Ia.
sued by the Philippine Press bureau
Of Washington. ID. G.
"Twice In period Of nine months"
reads the statement, "the United States
Senate went on record as being IN syi.'.
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-
encc that the 10,500,OO0 inhabitants Of
the Philippines have repeatedly de
handed. 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
1--WE 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 Britaln's councillors Of state
could not then successfully make the
point that theS American Congress is
asking Great Britain 10 do something
the United States itself has been asked
TO do and has not done.
"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 II will give Great Brit
ain and the other powers OF the world
concrete example OF consistency and
good faith by granting Philippine in
dependence"
