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
ernment, and the great mass Of the
people of the United States, is to con-.
slider the Philippine question from the
nnselfsh viewpoint of what is best
FOR the Filipino people Ninety-hve
per cent of the opposition to inde-
pendence emanates from American In
lvestors 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 inde-
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 q sensitive
Christian people that they siIall not
have their promised independence be-
cause theyaare not fit for It viii In.
the end prove aEmistaken policy II
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 rnisrepra-
Hentatiops Of the retentionists. Their
leaders are intelligent enough 10 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 desiNe this
go1ernment to do by toe Filfbinos4
qnly that which Is just and right.
In this connection, it is interesting
20 review the Developments of the pres
ent friendly relationship between the
Filipino and American. peoples.
Previous to 1916 the philippine
American relationship Is declared 10
have been moi of the best. But with
the passage III that year of the Jones
iawby practically both the Republican
and Democratic memberships Of Con-
gress, a better feeling developed. This
5"better feeling" has now grewn into
a very strong bond Of sympathy and
affection 81

RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS

The American Red Cross Is carrying
on wide program of service for the
disabled World War veterans receiving
treatment In United States Public
Health hospitals, and those being train
ed through agencies Of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
In each of the Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devote
their time to the general welfare OF
the service men from the day they
enter the receiving ward until they
are discharged. After the soldiers dis
charge the Red Cross continues Its
friendly service through the Home
Service Section In his own community.
The Red Cross maintains GONZALES
cent house at all Of the hospitals
where patients can amuse themselves
after they are well enough to be up;
and around. Parties and picture showE
In the wards are also furnished, with
occasional excursions when GONZALES
cence comes.
Great service has been rendered by
the Red Cross In mental cases in iden-
tifying those who have appeared In
state hospitals for the insane, and help
ing them secure compensation due from
the Bureau Of War Risk Insurance.
In the Federal Boards various dis
trict offices the Red Cross worker, act
fng with the Home Service Section,
makes necessary loans to the men, ar
ranges suitable living conditions, helps
collect evidence and supply facts to the
Board, assists In appealing cases" and
settles various personal difficulties for
the men. The workers also follow up
and aid all men who discontinue train
ing.
The Red Cross agents find men "lost'
to the Board, help clear up delayed
cases and aid the college counselors in
their friendly work with the men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities, and in some In
stances living clubs, SO these victims
Of war may have attractive surround
ings and the fun which must 60 with
effective school work.
To the American Red Cross Institute
for the Blind near Baltimore, Nd,
more than half OF all the Americans
blinded in the World War have come
for training. The Institute, through
the Red Cross, long ago conducted an
exhaustive industrial survey to deter
mine the yocations for which blind
men could be fitted AS a result 1t Is
putting forth well trained men equip
ned to meet the social, civic and eco
nonic requirements Of their respective
communities.

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members Of the
Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members Of the American
Red Cross are those citizens of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
--sons and daughters of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners OF
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division Of the parent or
ganization, generally known as the
Fourteenth Division. which has
Jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the is
Land Of Yap, which came under our
flag as result of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
80,808 paid up members
The Rlain object Of this division 10
to give our citizens everywhere the op-
portunity to participate Ii the work
Of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
in far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership In
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston OF their citizenship. 1t Is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters Of
this division in Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions In money, and millions
Of dollars worth Of necessary articles
for the men In service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service In their respective
communities for the families of those
who had gone to war, and In some re-
gions gave large sums of money and
immeasurable personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims
The division Is now establishing
service clubs In foreign ports for the
benefit Of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans In trouble In foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
ing immediate adequate relief in case
of disaster.
1t is the Fourteenth Divisions part
in the great Peace Time program Of
the American Red Gross.
