First. That the American Declare.
ton of Independence declares that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed;
Second.-That the American Con-
grcss. in the Jones law, solemnly prom

the establishment Of stable govern
ment, and that their claim that the
said stable government Is now in ex
lstence in the Islands has been official

Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1920-10-28
BY WILLIAM ]. BRYAN.

The greatest personal victory yet
won 10 this Democratic convention was
scored by Il young Filipino by the name
of Jose P, Melencio. He has charge Of
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington
He is only twenty-slx years old and
received his education in the public
schools of the Philippines--under
American teachers as he proudly
bOasted-and ut Georgetown, D. G.
He is remarkably promising young
man
Speaking with grace using the best
language and without q trace of EN-.
barrasSment, he presented the claim
Of the Filipinos to independence. The
audience was astOniShed at the
strength Of his argument, the skill
with which he marshaed his facts and
the high tone of his speech. He capt.
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment of
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea.
When one of the committee asked
him some questions he returned to the
platform and answered them with as
much logic and precision as If he had
taken weeks to prepare his answer. 1t
was remarkable triumph.
AS one who began twenty-five years
ago to fight for the promise of indie
pendence was proud Of this illustra.
ton of what the Filipino Is capable
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1920-10-28

having come III
contact with all classes of the people.
| 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.
Tho 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
unseliish 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
uRtion 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 sensitive
Christian people that they shall not
have their promised independence be.
cause they are not fit 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 ls 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 1916 the Philippine
