The Filipino has been much misrep-
resented in the United States. This is
largely because the Sunday supple
ments have made speciality of por-
traying the semi-naked non-Christian
hill tribes as typical" Filipinos, which
is far from the truth.
The total population Of the Philip
pines is 10,350,64O Of which 9,495,272
are Christians and civilized, and have
been so for 300 years, possessing a cul-
ture and refinement that will compare
-favorably with that of other countries.
The number Of on-Christians is $685.

The Philippine government is encour-
aging the immigration OF Filipinos
from the thickly populated sections in
to Mindanao. This is the second larg-
est If the islands of the archipelago.
1t Is still sparsely settled, although
it is one of the richest and most pro-
ductive islands In the world. Many
Americans have established planta-
tions there and become rich.
Filipinos are using the stories Of the
many successful Filipino homesteaders
as an argument for independence. They
make the point that people that can
go out into tropical wilderness with
no capital save their patience, perse-
verence and energy and win homes 'Sr
themselves, havSahe necessary stamina
to run their own affairs.
