it was necessary that it should be mentioned
before your lordShip."

dependence without further delay
Congressman King is one Of in
creasing number of Republicans in the
House who are urging quick action
on Philippine independence. Mr.
King is the author of bill which pro-
vides that within one year the Philip
pine government, under presidential
proclamation, may assemble a conven-
ton and frame constitution
After the constitution is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine islands as "a
separate and self-governing nation"
The transfer of authority is to be
completed within one year. Provision
is made for safeguarding American in
vestments in the Philippines and for
the providing of coa1ing stations and
submarine bases in the islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early independence
and will be sorely disappointed if they
do not get it.
"No nation has the right" said Con-
gresham King Ito hold another people
In peonage, even though it may be
argued by the professoriate that the
condition is simply one of 'tutelage.
"A .ittle more observance of the
golden rule in national and interna-
tional affairs would soon dispe1 that
desire for exploitation, the fercest foe
of freedom in the world today.
'tWhen we went to the Philippines
we declared before the whole world
| that we were not actuated by any self
ish desire of conquest or territorial
| ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but solely by humani-
| tartan impulses"
| Congressman King called attention
| to the fact that F11ipinos are now
| raising funds to erect a monument to
| Admiral Dewey, which he said was In
| directly a tribute to the American peo-
pie as well s~- TO Dewey. He recalled
| the cable that Dewey had sent to
| President Mckinley, which was as
| follows:
| I'm my opinion these people Gill
pinos) are superior in intelligence and
more capable of self government than
| the natives of Cuba, and familiar
with both"
| Congressman King then recited the
| preamble to the Jones law, passed
August %, 1916, and declared it was
| definite pledge of independence. The
preamble stated cit is as it has Away;
| been the purpose of the people 0
| the United States to withdraw thei
sovereignty over the Philippine Island
| and to recognize their independence a
: soon as a stable government can

CONGRESSMAN King stated there wa
no question but that the Filipinos ha
established the specified stable COY
eminent and, therefore, it is ID
solemn duty of the United States t
grant the promised independence.

The Filipino has been much misrep-
resented in the United States This is
largely because the Sunday supple
ments have made a speciality of por-
traying the seIni-naked nOn-ChriStian

is far from the truth.

Seventy per cent of the Inhabitants
of the Philippines over ten years of

of literacy than that of any South

Spain, and higher than that of any
of the New Republics of Europe whose
