.F|LIP|NOS UNABLE
TO RULE ISLANDS
WooD-FoRREs REPORT SAYS FILL
lPlNoS ARE NOT READY
FREEDOM
PEOPLE APPEAR SATISFIED
Standard of Efficiency in Government
Departments in Past Has Been
Low; People As a Whole Do
Not Want Independence

washington.-Desp extraordinary
progress in the past % years, the Fill
ipino people have long road to travel
before they win be ready to take their
own government, according to the re-
port made by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
governor general of the islands, and
w. G. Cameron Forbes, former gov
ernor general. The complete report
was issued Friday by the war depart
ment, as a supplement to the recent
publication of specific recommends
lions made by the two investigators.
Need of further national improve
ment is pointed out by the report,
which declares. however, that the adj
ministrative mistakes of the Fllipinos
have not been sufficient to counter
balance the steadily rising progress
barometer.
Generally speaking" the report
says, administrative departments of
the government are topheavy In per-
sonnet and enmeshed In red tape.
There Is a vast amount of paper work.
Ht inclHbuS VI lne dUIululSlIdllOu are
purely autocratic. There is lack of
supervision and personal contact"
Discussing the policy pursued dur
ing the administration Of Governor
General Harrison from 1914 to 1921,
the report declared "the orderly pro
cess Of promotion on proved efficiency
In the government service was changed
to a hurried Filipinization,' and con-
tinued:
while there has been retrogression
in the efficiency Of most departments
of the government during the past few
years, we do not feel that the RESPONSE
bility for this rests solely upon the
Fillpinos, as the ultimate responsible
ity for the selection Of responsible Of
Ulcers and for the exercise of proper
supervision was in the hands OF the
American governor general, whose
duty 1t was to appoint compstent men
at the heads of department and
bureaus, and, above all. to exercise
proper supervision over them"
The report asserts that the Filipino
people as a whole do not want inde-

pendence, while many who favor sew
erance of American ties do not com
prehend the responsibilities of self
government.
Economic conditions are favorably
commented on. and evidence is sub
mitted by the Wood-Forbes mission in
dicating progressive development.
Figures show the gross business Of
the islands to have Increased from
S2000O0,000 in 1907 to SS63, 100000 in
1920, while the total resources of com
mercial banks rose from $4,000, 900 In
1906 to present estimates of 1915, OO0,-
600.
The report recites the story of the
Philippine bank las one Of the most
unfortunate and darkest pages in Phil
ippine history"
Losses sustained by the bank are
estimated at S22, 100000, and are said
to have been caused by mismanage-
ment on the part of some of those who
have been at It's head and in charge
of branch offices.
The mission reports that inspect
ors of election" required under the
laws to prepare ballots for illiterate
voters supply fruitful source of
frauds" The election machinery is
practically in the hands of the domi-
nant parties, and the inspectors of
elections are too often their tools, the
report says.
ut is surprising" it adds, that the
ELECTIONS have been conducted as well
as they have been In view of the fact
that outside the larger cities and prin-
cipal towns the organization officially
is primitive, and the people generally
are unaware of, their civil rights"

DRAW ON AFRICAN FORESTS

Going Forward.

A reinforcement for the world de-
mand for lumber is preparing in Brit
ish East Africa, where there are be-

woodland to draw upon, and new In
dustry, very infantile at present, is ex-
pected to grow so rapidly that the gov
ernment is now considering plans to
improve the harbOr facilities for eX-
porting the forests. The best wood Is
suitable for wheel makers and wagon
builders and the making of wood block
paving, railway sleepers, bridges, OK
yokes, and ak, pick and tool handles.
1t also makes good flooring and lining
boards. The builder, however, must
needs be Of a patient disposition if he
postpOnes building until these British
East African woods are available.
Meantime there are new sounds In
some Of the African forests, the
rhythm of the woodsman's AK the buzz
Of the sawmill, and the putting Of un-
dersiZed locomotives on the narrow
gauge tracks that are penetrating
from the main line Of railway into the
woodlands. And many workman, no
doubt, will some day work with tools
whose handles grew in an African for

Ancient Chinese Art,

Attention has been called to not
able addition to the treasures of the
British museum, in the shape OF a
colossal Chinese figure in wood. 1t is
scuptured from cleverly jointea
blocks, and represents figure, in a
sitting posture, five feet, eight inches
in height. 1t is the first specimen Of
its kind to be added to the national
collections in Great Britain; the date
is thought to be, from 1126 to 1910 A.
D. 1t is to be hoped that the interest
aroused will lead to further study Of
this branch of art. It is pointed out
by writer in the Burlington Maga-
zine of Art that in Cleveland, O., a
competent scholar in connection with
the museum is sent to China to study
the art and collect suitable art treas
ures on it's behalf.
