Philippine Finances Biggest Block Now To Independence For Islands

much all over the United States.
 At the instigation of Filipino off cials, it is alleged, but certainly with the knowledge and consent of the American authorities, this fund was transferred from the scattered banks to the New York branch of the Phil ippine ,Natienal v lmprudent Loans
 . Not belonging to the Federal Re serve system, the Philippine Nation al branch in New York could not ac- cept the deposit as such, but a check ing account was arranged with the Chase National, also of New York, and enc or two other banks.
 through the sale of dollar exchange the next step was >J transfer this fund from the United States to the Philippine Islands.
 once back in Manila, Americans claim, the Philippine National natur- ally became the repository of the fund.
 The Philippine National Bank, ere. ated by an act of the Philippine les islature, had as president, General Venancio Conception, Filipino.
 Some of the IoanS made by this bank have been characterized here as unprudent.

N. '. MAYOR SAYS TO BLAME 'FOR HUGE DEBT.
Hylan Says City Cannot Get Anywhere if Governed by
 Mandate From Albany

< NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Counsel for the legislative committee investigat- ing the clty administration regaled Mayor Hyland today with figures showing heavy municipal debts and tax burdens and then inquired if ne knew of any means of relief. The ma yor said he knew of but one way to cut down the taxes and that was for the siate legislature to cease passing man iatory legislation and to re- move the $22,000,000 in direct taxes which it already had imposed on the city.
 The mayor was told that municipal taxes had increased from S35.92 per capita in 1917, to $59.99 this year, that the city was far beyond it's constitu- tional debt limit and S24,000,O0O past the tax limitation fixed by the state Constitution at two percent of the as- sessed valuation. Budget -appropria- | tions had grown from $230, 1000, 900 when he took office in 1918, to $313,- | 000,000 this year, and the municipal payrool, excluding school teachers | salaries, increased s30,000,000 during | the same period.
 Mayor Hylan declared he was op- posed to cutting the salaries of city
  he realized big corporations were do- | ing it and the cost of living had drop ped. The main aim of hlsi admins Iration was to reduce taxes. he said, l He was then told that much of the | $22,000,000 tax imposed by the legis- 1 1ature covered increases in school t teachers salaries which the law-mak- Il efs' Authorized. The mayor said he ftaSpfed the increases, and that the istftg would have given them to the Fte4ehers. His opposition, he explain IAd,s%as to all mandatory legislation" I He wanted home rule" for New York City Eon R. Brown, commission counsel, contended that education was state function and legislation effect ing the schools was not mandatory.
 Asked for suggestions for any econ omy that would reduce tax burdens, Mayor Hylan propoted amending the laws of 1914. 10, give New York the same home ruIe privileges accorded smaller municipalities. Then there would be an opportunity to cooperate and construct city departments, he said
 But if we are going to be govern ed by mandate from Albany, we wont get anywhere" he added.

American in Charge

The bank is now virtually in the hands of General Manager E. w. Will son, who has been in charge since the reorganization referred to. General Manager Wilson is a San Francisco banker of international reputation, and with him, are about a dozen bank ing, exports whom he brought with him from America or who subsequently joined him in Manila.
 Americans here are bitter, insist. ing that large part of the business depression in the islands is due to un1avorable exchange.
 They say that on March l, becausc the Philippine government had no funds in the United States, it was forced to suspend the sale of dollar exchange for the first time in the his- tory of the islands.
 The emergency" clause of the Co- nant law had already been brought into play and $10,000.000 worth of cer- titicates of indebtedness sold in New York.
 Once this fund was exhausted - as it very quickly was, Americans claim the suspension of dollar eXcnangS sales was all that was left to do.
 F'ilipinos assert war conditions were mostly responsible for both the ad- erse exchange and the rest of the 1s- lands financial difficulties. The truth, as usual, will likely be found half way between the views of the two extremes. The world wIce business depression in the wake of the war, beyond a doubt hit the Philip pines just as it hit every other coun- try in the world, but injudicious acts on the part of the financial advisers among the Filipinos probably render ed bad situation worse.
 General Wood and Mir. ForDss suve discussed the situation at length with bankers here and a great amount of time was spent going over documents bearing on the case. These will in time, find their way to Washington. In his next story Sinms rounds up the long fight that has been made over the Philippines and Filipinos.

BY VIM. PHILIP SEAMS

MANILA, Aug 10. The Wood Forbes commission, in it's report to President Harding, will lay considera- ble stress on the financial situation in the Philippine Islands, a situation characterized by American officials as serious" ,.
 There can be little doubt that the country's finances are not as flour ishing as they might be and when the Washington administration comes to uecIue on whetne or not the Fllpinos are ready for complete in dependence, this side of the question will indubItably initiate agaInst the islanders.
 American experts are now here making a thorough examination and their findings, already in part, made known to the commission, will be in cluded in the Wood-Forbes report to the president.
 Who's to Blame?
 It is an open secret that the finan- cial situation has not invariably ueen wisely handled by Filipino officials. These are generally held to blame. It is difficult to see, however, how Americans can emerge entirely blame less, inasmuch as American officials were and still are, holders of veto power in the islands.
 The handling of the gold reserve of the Philippines and what Americans here claim was the faulty methods of the Philippine National Bank, a gov ernment institution, loom largely in the criticism of existing conditions. The peso is cheap. The American dollar is high. Philippine exports have fallen off and imports tended to increase, further cheapening the peso-the Philippine dollar. Gold Transferred The transfer of the islands gold reserve from the United States back to the Philippines is largely respon, sible for adverse exchange and the ills that usually go with such sit uation, according to Americans here This gold reserve amounted to about $42 100000. It was deposited II American banks scattered pretty
