FILIPINOS ASK COMMISSION BE
 SENT ISLANDS
BY. COL. WINFIELD JONES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-(SpeciaI Corresponds nce).-Congress will be asked by the Filipinos at the next session to send a commission to in with a view to reporting on the ad visibility of Philippine independence. The Philippine legislature has repeat edly asked congress to send such commission to the islands, and along with the request for the commission in the next congress MT. Harding will be urged to give his approval to the appointment of such a mission. The commission might consist of special ly selected members of senate and house, or perhaps would include the senate committee on the Philippines and the house committee on insular affairs. Until his resignation from the senate MT. Harding was chairman of the senate committee on the Philippines. It would spend some time in the Philippines, and on it's return would be we'll qualified, from first hand investigations, to report to congress whether or not the Philippines are capable of self-govern- ment, and whether or not the islands should be given independence.
 Following an invitation of the Philippine legislature in 1917 to con- gress to send a commission, special Philippine mission came to Washing ton and renewed the invitation.
 It Is unlikely that this session will recommed appointment of an in vestigating commission-5the time is too short before adjournment and other more pressing problems are engaging all the more attention of the house and senate.
 But the next congress probably will see creation of a commission, ap- pointment of a commission of the kind described will further delay consideration in congress of the Philippine independence problem.
 There recently arrived here Isauro Gabaldon, new commissioner in con-

gress for the Philippines Discussing the independence problem today com missioner Galbaldon said:
 Tt is of the utmost importance to continue friendly relation between the Philippines and the United States that congress should take up the question of independence without further delay. Officials of the Philip pines and the masses of the Filipino people are alike insistent that inde- pendence shall be granted. As we have demonstrated our ability to gov ern ourselves just as often as we have had the opportunity to demon strate it, there is absolutely no question as to our ability to do so in the future, Equal protection will be given the rights and property of Americans in the islands with that given to our own people.
 "The Filipino people have very friendly feelings toward the United States. We realize more than any one else that you have rendered us a great service in assisting us to pre- pare for ourselves to take the re- responsibilities that will come with in dependence. We are practically unani- nous, however, in desiring a Philip pine republic, and we desire it for precisely the same reason that you Americans desire republic.
 Not only do we feel entitled to in dependence by divine right, but be- cause the United States in the Jones law promised independence upon the establishment iu the Philippines of a stable government. That stable gov ernment Is now in existence in the islands, and this fact has been off cially reported to the American con- gress and your president by the American governor general"
 Jaime c. De Veyra, the other com missioner, said:
 "A portion of the American public alleges maladministration, negligence in service, and perhaps inefficiency of some bureaus, not to say absolute demoraliZation of public service in the islands. In view of these ale gations it would seem that in the mind of the president-elect there has settled a doubt, and it is said that in order to please some and satisfy others, MT. Harding entertains the idea of sending a commission of in vestigation to the Philippines. I re- peat: We are not afraid of the pro- posed investigation. As in all human institution, defects or inefficiency may be found in the administration of the Philippine affairs; but we deny that they are such as to invali- date our claims of being able to maintain a good government"
 There is no doubt that the next congress will see a persistent and Table effort on the part of the Fiji, pinos to gain independence.
