hound TO grant IN
dependence without further delay.
Congressman King Is one of an In
creaslng number Of Republicans in the
House who are urging quick action
on Philippine independence. Mr..
King is the author Of bill which pro-
Vides that within one year the Philip
pine government, under presidential
proclamation, may assemble a conven-
ton and frame constitution.
After the constitution Is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine islands as "a
separate and sclf-governlng nation"
The transfer Of authority Is to be
completed within one year. Provision
Is made for safeguarding American In
vestments In the Philippines and for
the providing OF coaling stations and
submarine bases In the islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines Is that
the people expect early independence
md will be sorely disappointed II they
do not get it.
mo nation has the right, "sald Con-
gresham King "to hold another people
in peonage, even though it may be
argued by the professoriate that the
condition Is simply one Of 'tutelage.'
"a little more observance of the
golden rule in national and interna-
tional affairs would soon dispel that
desire for exploitation, the fiercest foe
of freedom In the world today.
when we went to the Philippines
we declared before the whole world
that we were not actuated BY any self
ish desire Of conquest or territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but solely by humanl-
tartan impulses"
Congressman King called attention
to the fact that Filipinos are now
raising funds to erect monument to
Admiral Dewey, which he said was In
directly tribute to the American peo-
pie as well as to Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley, which was as
follows:
'In my opinion these people GILL
pinos) are superior in intelligence and
more capable of self government than
the natives of Cuba, and l am familiar
with both"
Congressman King then recited the
preamble to the Jones law, passed
August 20, 1915, and declared it was a
definite pledge of independence. The
preamble stated at is as 1t has always
been the purpose of the people of
the United States to withdraw thel:
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their independence as
soon as stable government can be
established therein"
Congressman King stated there was
no question but that the Filipinos had
established the specified stable gov
eminent and, therefore, 1t is the
solemn duty of the United States to
grant the promised independence.
