found, however, that the viewpoint
Of Americans in the Philippines, and
Americans In the United States, on the
subject Of independence. Is not the
same.
The attitude Of the American gov
eminent, and the great mass OF the
| people of the United States, is to con-
slider the Philippine question from the
unsefish viewpoint of what Is best
for the Filipino people Ninety-fve
per cent of the opposition to indie
pendence emanates from American In
vestors In the islands who are quite
| naturally more interested In the size
| of their dividends than the freedom Of
an alien people.
The unfortunate feature Of the sit
uation is that the opponents OF indie
pendence, in order to convince the peo-
pie of the United States that the Fill
pinos should not be granted their In
dependence, find 1t necessary to libel
an entire race. To tell a sensitive
Christian people that they shall not
have their promised independence be-
cause they are not tit for 1t will in
the end prove mistaken policy. 1t
will only make their demand for In
dependence the stronger.
At the present time, however. the
masses of the Filipino people still
have absolute confidence IN the good
faith of America. Their loyalty and
gratitude to Uncle Sam has not as
yet been impaired by the misrepre-
sensations of the retentionists. Their
leaders are intelligent enough to dis
tinguish between those Americans
who oppose their aspirations to In
dependence for purely selfish reasons,
and the great mass Of the American
people whom they know desire this
government to do by the Filipinos
only that which is just and right.
In this connection. 1t is interesting
to review the development of the pres |
ent friendly relationship between the |
Filipino and American peoples.
Previous to 1915 the Philippine |
American relationship is declared to
have been not of the best. But with
the passage in that year of the Jones
law by practically both the Republican
and Democratic memberships of Con-
gress, better feeling developed. This
better feeling" has now grown into
= very strong bond Of sympathy and
affection.
The happy attitude of the Filipino
people toward America is due not prin-
cipally to the fact that Americans
have shown the Filipinos how to make
their country better place to live in
not principally to the fact we have
the implanting In the
Philippines of one of the finest edu-
systems In the world; nor to
he building Of high class roads, |
ridges and public works-but Is dus |
