gram of the national agrarian commits

er ministersof agriculture Is described
as .anttquated and unapplicable under
modern conditions by General Estrada
named to take over the portfolio of
agriculture.
General Estrada announced he will
not accept the post unless President

serves the reward arising from his ma
terial and mental effort. He says he
will endeavor to solve the land ques-
tion justly and conservatively.
General Estrada's declarations are
characterized by the newspaper as the
forerunner of complete reversal of the
federal land policy to which much OBJ
lection, especially foreign. has been
made.
Describing the idea of commercial
lands as dating back to tho days of the
Spanish conquerors and untenable now
because the modern idea of individual
effort must be rewarded. he denies
that returning the lands to the towns
and taking them away from the pres
ent owners is carrying out revolu-
tionary idea.
He continues: Private ownership of
lands should be subject to rules i'm
posed by the necessity and require
ments of the masses tho original
owners. But ! do not admit the advis-
ability OF common ownership and am
fully convinced that the system of
private ownership, conditional and in

The first step In arrangements for
the Davis cup matches of 1922 has been
taken by the United States Lawn

ters to nations that have competed for
this trophy. inviting their challenges

Judging from letters received since
the completion OF the 1921 matches, this
contest has aroused more widespread
interest thruout the world than ever
before. This makes IT the more ap-
propriate to point out again THE fund
amentsl service the Davis cup con-
tests can perform in stimulating still
further the friendly rivalry and good
feeling between the tennis playing ma
tons OF the world. To accomplish this
result II seems desirable that each
contest should, whenever possible. be
played in the country Of one OF the
competing nations. Such action will
lend interest TO the various nations
schedules by providing an information

pcnse of travelling and will best serve
the purpose for which this competition

ton of this association. therefore, that

Governor General Wood made sim

sage TO the legislature the governor
general said: II hope from time to
time to propose changes In laws which
no, only will safeguard the interests
Of the Filipino people but win en-
courage foreign capital to invest in
the Islands for the development Of our

General Wood added 1T is quite
obvious At this time that the insular
government csunot re, out of its in

and therefore the wisest thing to do
is to make every endeayor possible to

expresses Itself in tho League OF ma
