U. S. PROTECTION, BUT HOW? THAT'S
 ISSUE THAT STIRS PHILIPPINES

1 Whereas Australians and Canadians beiCng to the same race as the peo- pie oI the mother country, -;iiplnos and Americans belong to diIreren, races
 They pull the Democratic platform of 19V0 on all who spring on them this line of talk. That document de- clared "the Filipinos cannot be citi- , zens without endangering our civili. ZaLion; they cannot be subject with out imperIIIng our form of govern , ment
 Cruel to FiIipinos.
 Not being eligible to citizenship, they say, their status could scarcely be made to parallel that of Canadi- ans and Australians. Democrats in the islands are just as outspoken against setting the Fili- pinos free, minus American proJec- tion, as anybody.
 They have set up platform of their own on the subject.
 We denounce and repudiate," they declare, as un-American and un-Dem- ocratlc, and cruelty unjust to the Fiji plno people any policy which would cast this people adrift on the danger ous seas of international politics with out adequate financial resources, and with no protection or guaranty of their national integrity.
 The Filipinos," they go on to say, have trusted to our honor and believ- ed in our good faith.
 A Sacred Trust
 "The United States, by abandoning the islands would dishonor itself and justly forfeit the respect of the na- lions on the earth and of the people who look to us for protection, and tor whose safety we have assumed re- sponsibility.
 We brand as unworthy of the American name policy involving the abandonment of a sacred trust for reasons alleged to be concerned with out own greater security.
 ''If giving proper protection to all inhabitants of the Philippine Islands, until such time as our obligations shall have been nunorably fulfilled, does, in truth, constitute menace to our national safety-which we do not concede-better, we say, war and even defeat, than dishonor."
 The island Democrats underscore this last sentiment.
 Fight In Congress
 As soon as the Wood-Forbes com mission makes its report to President Harding, and the president, in turn, passes the report along to the con Sress, probably with recommends tions, great fight will begin.
 The attitude of the various rac- tions in the islands are here sketched. General Wood and MT. Forbes have already been treated to reams of re- ports and bales of documents bear ing on the subject.
 Out of it all, however, looms the one central idea:
 Nobody wants to see the United States sever at once and for all time its connection with the islands, leav- ing them to root, hog, or die.
