I urged upon President Harding
that the status Of the islands be hxed
at the earliest possible date.
pointed out that lengthening the
present condition OF uncertainty can
have nothing but an evil effect on
internal political conditions in the

that Americas position IN the orient
will be much strengthened II the
United States will adopt firm and
permanent policy toward the Philip

General Wood will take ONCE over
an open-minded people. His pre-
eminent fitness for ONCE is not ques-
toned by any thinking Filipino.
However. the necessity OF appoint

OF the islands will be questioned by
