In speech which was given very
close attention and was frequently ap-
plauded.
AT one time," said Commissioner
Gabaldon, "Congress had before 1t no
less than thirty resolutions expressing
sympathy with the aspirations of the
Irish people, If not actually urging Eng
land to grant independence to Ireland.
! At that time, also the Filipinos were
knocking at your door. Out of the
, womb Of war, many European repub-
lies were born, and America has re-
joiced to uphold the same. And yet
the claim Of the Filipinos is still I'M
needed. Must there be exceptions,
then, in international justice?
my plea, gentlemen Of the Ameri-
can Congress, is that you ignore no
longer the repeated requests Of de-
serving people for an independence
that rightfully belongs to them. The
granting of independence now affords
the United States golden opportunity
to give to the world unanswerable
proof of its sincerity, it's consistency
and its altruism. 1t will be the great
est example of square dealing In the
history Of the ages. =
do not think we are not appre-
ciative of all you have done for us.
We are. America has truly treated
the Filipino people as no other nation
has ever treated an alien race in oil
history. The high points Of the Amer
lean policy in the Philippines have
been consistently inspired by altruisn.
We know that you were actuated In
your labors by the desire to contrib.
ute to our own welfare.
"And we love you perhaps most OF
all for your solemn promise to grant
us that which we hold dearer than life
itself-our freedom. Independence is
our national ideal. It is our all ab.
sorbing aim. It grows stronger every
hour. For the spirit Of natiOnalism
never dies. Much less can it be sub
dued. We believe that we can never
hope to be. n sturdy nation If we are
to rely forever on the magnanimity OF
the United States. <,E ~ - II ~
."America's task In the Philippine
Islands is finished. What you have as
sumed as your sacred obligation In
that part of the world has been full
filed. A people with a medieval sys-
TEN Of institutions has been trans
formed into q conscious nation, i'm
bued with all that Is modern In the
activities of nations. And If you give
us independence our gratitude to you
will increase thousand fold; it will
last forever If you keep faith with us.
There is but one issue In the Phil
ippine question, and that is: Is there
today stable government on the Is
lands? In the Jones law you promised
Independence upon the establishment
of such stable government. Your
own Governor-Gener has officially
reported that there is a stable gov
eminent in existence today, and we
also have submitted plenty Of evidence
to substantiate its existence. There
fore, we hope and expect America will
now carry out its pledge" 81, 49,. .,
