SAY F|L|P|NOS
Faction Desiring Full lnde-

Philippine opposition to the Wood
Forbes mission to study the question
of Philippine independence has come
cut into the open.
The Philippine Commission on
Independence, an official body sup
ported by the island government.
which maintains headquarters and a
propaganda agency here, has
attacked President Harding's deci-
sion to consider the question in this
way.
LACKS THEIR CONFIDENCE
In its-regular "press bulletin" the
independence commission declares
that w. Cameron Forbes, selected by
the President as joint Investigator
with Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. cannot
render an impartial report. "even II
he wants to-"
with regard to General Wood, the
commission says "the Filipinos are
ioath to place any credence" in the
opinion advanced by political OBJ
servers that the general twill hand
in any kind of report he Is being sent
to the Philippines to obtain"
The commissions statement de-
ciares that former President Taft
wants Mr.. Forbes to be governor gen.

year"
The statement follows. in part:
There are political observers who
advance the opinion that General
Wood will hand in any kind Of report
he is being sent to the Philippines to
obtain; that IL the Administration de-
sires to grant independence he will
make a report advocating 1t; and that
| IL independence is desired to be side
tracked he will produce report to
sustain such a policy. The Filipinos
are loath to place ary credence in

ST|LLMAN BUILT
BOAT FOR HIS WIFE
Skipper Says Bankers Wife
Never Set Foot on Craft
After Launching. =

MIAMI, Fla, March 27.-Did James
A. stillman's $3.50. 900 steam yacht, the
Modesty, prove the hoodoo of the
Stillman family.
That Is the question raised By Cap
tain Edward Wahwerit. skipper of the
Modesty. According to the captain,
the yacht was especially built for
Mrs. Stillman and her family and was
have been turned over to her at
is completion. But as a matter of
fact Mrs. Stillman has never been
aboard the Modesty and has never
even seen the craft.
Placed in commission last Decem-
per, she has been used exclusively by
Mr.. Stillman, and fler trip to Miami
marked her maiden voyage. What
ever caused the banker to change his
mind about presenting the Modesty to
MS wife and children transpired last
spring. according 10 Wahwerit. He
said:
When the keel Of the Modesty was
laid at Morris Heights more than a
year ago, 1 knew that Mr.. Stillman
had planned to make his wife a
present of the boat when IL was
placed in commission.
I'VE watched the progress in the
CONSTRUCTION OF the yacht and Mr.
Stillman often expressed how pleased
he was and that he looked forward to
the time when he would have Mrs
Stillman' and his family aboard the
boat.
1T seems strange, but Mrs. Still
man has never been aboard the
Modesty and to my knowledge has
never had glimpse of the craft. I
don't know what caused Mr.. Still
man to change his mind. As a mat
ter OF fact l don't think Mr.. Still
man did change his mind regarding
his plans, but Mrs. Stillman did.
know that as a result of the whole
thing a great change came over Mr..
Stillman. At times believe he was
bewildered He certainly loved his
children and was devoted to his fam
lily.
"All this scandal printed in the
papers is dificult to believe. 1t is
all new to me. Mr.. Stillman sailed
on the Modesty from New York and
made the entire trip down to Miami.
He was accompanied by two gentle
men, one by the name of Prentice.
don't know his initials. The other
don't recall by name but they left
the yacht north of Palm Beach to go
on hunting trip. We are now
awaiting the arrival OF Mr.. Stillman
so that he may accompany us on the
return trip North"

unity OF Israel; q sense that some
things could be said. and some could
not be said, about the Jews as 4
whole That 10 exactly the impress
sion we produce on the people of the
United States when we say. as we do
say In substance. something like this:
I'VE mean no harm to the poor dear
Irish, so dreary. SO irresponsible, SO
incapable of order or organization.
II we were to withdraw from their
country they would only fght among
themselves: they have no notion of
how to rule themselves There Is
something charming about their un-
practicality, about their very incas
pacity for the coarse business Of
politics. but for their own sakes II is
impossible to leave these emotional
visionaries to ruin themselves in the
attempt to rule themselves. They are
like children: but they are our own
children. and we understand them.
We accept full responsibility for act
ing As their parents and guardians"
AMERICANS KNOW
THIS VIEW FAKE.
But the point Is not only that this
view of of the Irish is false, but that
II Is the particular view that the
Americans know to be false. While
we are saying that the Irish could
not organize. the Americans arc COM
planning, often very bitterly. OF the
power Of Irish organization. while
we say that the Irishman could not
rule himself. the Americans are say
ing, more or less humorously, that
the Irishman rules them.
A highly intelligent Englishman
said to me in Boston, we have solved
the Irish problem here: we have an
entirely independent Irish govern
ment." While we are complaining,
In an almost passionate manner. of
the impotence of mere cliques OF
idealists and dreamers, they are com
planning. often in a very indignant
manner, OF the power of great gangs
Of bosses and bui1ies.
There are q great many Americans
who pity the Irish. very naturally
and very rightly, for the historic
endured. But there are a great many
Americans who do not pity the Irish
in the least. They would be much
more likely to pity the English: only
this particular way oc talking tends
rather to make them despise the Eng
lish. Thus both the friends OF Ire
land and the foes of ireland tend, TO
be the foes of England. We make
one set Of enemies by our action. and
another by our apology.
ENGLISH EXCUSE
LACKS SINCERITY.
II 10 thing that can from time
to time be found in history; a mis-
that really has q moral.
The English excuse would carry much
more weight II II had more sincerity
and more humility. There are a con-
siderable number OF people in the
United States who could sympathize
with us. IL we would say frankly that
we fear the Irish. Those who thus
despise our pity might possibly even
respect our fear. The argument i
have often used comes back with pro-
digious and redoubled force, after
hearing anything of American opin-
ion; the argument that the only rea-
sonabie or reputable excuse for the
English Is the excuse of q patriotic
sense of peril; and that the Unionist,
IL he must be a Unionist, should use
that and no other.
When the unionist has said that he
dare not let loose against himself a
captive he has so cruelty wronged,
he has said all that he has to say;

the Naval Committee Of the House
snd Senate, SO that II is likely its
merits will be passed upon probably
early in the next Congress.
