The Woods-Forbes Report.

In reporting against immediate in
dependence for the Philippine Islands
Gen. Leonard Wood and w. Cameron
Forbes say:
I'VE are convinced that it would be
a betrayal of the Philippine people, a
misfortune to the American people, a
distinct step backward in the path of
progress and discredtable neglect
to our national duty We're we to with
draw from the islands and terminate e
our relationship there without giving
the Filipinos the best chance possible
to have an orderly and permanently
stable government.
We took over the islands as a ma
tional duty. They had fallen into our
hands as result of war. We could
not return them to Spain because we
had found them in revolt against
Spanish authority. and we had de-
stroycd Spain's power to reassert au-
thority over them. We could not, Of
course. turn them adrift. Our plain
course, therefore, was to assert our
own authority. and that we did.
How well We have discharged our
duty is beyond question. The Fill
pinos themselves testify to the great
benefits they have received at our
hands. American control has spelt
progress in all the walks of island
life. Education, agriculture, COM
merce. internal improvements of every
kind have gone forward on American
plans under American direction.
No backward step will he taken
while American control continues. So
that, whether that period be long or
short. the Filipinos will be we'll cared
for. and given full opportunity to
qualify for taking over their own af-

commanding enough to have subor-
dinate shaking at his very glance. he
very seldom has to use such tactics,
because he first of all sets such an
excellent example of all that a leader
should be that the men under him fall
over themselves in an effort to show
themselves worthy followers. His
firm set mouth and steely eyes are apt
to give the impression of severity to
a stranger until he is put at ease by
the admiral's winning smile and
friendly manner. The admiral knows
his men. He welcomes them at all
times and chats with them in a way
that is almost comradeship, but they
never take advantage of ii. They re-
spect him, admire him and love him.

Wheat and Coal.

Throughout the whole world we see
the same phenomenon, namely. that
the farmer always and everywhere
foots the bill. When prices go up.
other industries go one better than
the farmer. and when prices fall. agri-
cultural work and products suffer the
most.
For instance, farmers in Kansas and
North Dakota sell their wheat at
about so cents per bushel and corn at
about 12 cents. The cost of trans
portation to Chicago is about 6 cents
per bushel.
Let us now take the price of coal.
Soft coal sells at So ton, better
kind at $40, while hard coal sells at
$16 In order to understand the diff
ferent prices in these two basic prod
ucts-wheat and coal-we have to see
the price of coal as it was when wheat
was selling at about 81 q bushel. Then
bituminous coal had a price of 81. and
anthracite 50 a ton. Why. then, has
coal to demand today a double price
than before the war, while all the
basic agricultural products have re-
turned to pre-war prices? But there
Is still another bad side to this affair; !;

The Symbol of National Union


In its ninth annual report the Com.
mission of Fine Arts makes the fol
lowing reference to the project OF a
memorial bridge across the Potomac,
between Potomac Park and Arlington,
after a review of the history Of that
project:
Congress has authorized the ex-
penditure of $25.000 to secure plans
for a memorial bridge, and some day
the project will be realized. Its reali-
zation should carry along with 1t the
cleaning up of all the approaches to
Arlington and Fort Myer and the ad-
dition to the park system of the re-
claimed areas adjacent to the Vir-
ginia shore.
This report was written before the
ceremonies of Armistice day, which
emphatically demonstrated the need of
such structure. 1t was based upon
the artistic propriety of a broad struc-
ture linking the two banks Of the
river, without reference to the ques-
tion of rendering Arlington more
easily accessible. The congestion on
Armistice day showed in a manner
never before possible the urgent need
of straight, free highway to the ma
tional cemetery.
Andrew Jackson is quoted in the re-
port as proposing, according to DaHysi
Webster, to span the Potomac wSh
arches of ever-enduring gran1e&.
symbolical of the firmly establiSas6
union of the north and SOUTH" Much
water has flowed past the city of
Washington since Andrew Jackson
made this proposal. Much has hap
pened, and the net Of it all is that
there is now more than in his day a
| reason for the physical link of monu-
mental design to symbolic the firm
ly established union Of the north and
the south" The memorial bridge has
been planned as that link.
Arlington cemetery has become q
center of national sentiment. 1t con-
tains the bodies Of the dead of both
north and south in the civil war. 1t
, contains the dead of other wars fought
since then. 1t is place of beautiful
monuments. impressive structures and
hallowed memories. On Armistice day
it was in way dedicated to the posi-
tion of this country as a factor for
! world peace and progress by the in
terment there of a nameless soldier
who fell in France in the great war
in which the United States was de-
termining force. 1t is now obligatory
upon the government to supply a
means of access from the capital to the
cemetery that will be suitable in de-
sign as a memorial in itself and as q
thoroughfare to accommodate the
countless thousands who in time will
visit the shrine of American pa.
| triotism.
The "some day" suggested by the
Commission of Fine Arts report
should be an early day. This project
has awaited approval now for many
years. No more fitting occasion can
ever be had than the present for start
| ing this work The incidents of No
vember II. 1921, leave no question OF
the practical need, and no considera-
tion of economy or Treasury strin.
gency should operate for further de.

Legislators and Constituents.

The conferences taking place this
week between senators and representa-
tives and their constituents are prob
ably having less to do with the legis-
lative card of the coming session than
with next years campaigns.
Fence-mending is important busi-
ness. and legislators whose fences
need mending should mend them now.
There will not be much time for such
work after Congress gets fairly under
way.
The session will be strenuous, and
some of the questions presented will
be new and difficult. Hence the neces.
sity for regular attendance. Members
will not be safe in leaving town often,
or in neglecting while in town toIook
closely into all matters presented for
their consideration.
1t is going to be strenuous year.
Following the strenuous session of
Congress will be a strenuous cam
ltign. Both parties are already busy
with their preparations. Each has a
new generalissimo. and the new gen.
eralissimos are eager. of course, to
show the stuff that is in them.
Now. therefore, is the time for SEN
ators and representatives who are go
: ing to try their fortunes again next
year to plGn their campaigns and as
sign their lieutenants where the latter
may be expected to do the most good.
Whether the session will close at
the beginning of summer. or in the
middle or at the end of that season, is

The Interview and the Conference.

According to all accounts, there is
one thing, if no other, the conference
has already achieved. The approaches
of the press to politicians and diplo-
mats, no matter their nationality. is
smoother and easier than ever before.
Foreign visitors have fallen in with
the American way, and are carrying
themselves very much in the Amer
ican fashion. While in America they
are doing as the Americans do.
This is step, and long step, in
the direction of "open covenants,
openly arrived at"
Only good should issue from these
conferences within conferences. From
