In a speech which was given very
close attention and was frequently ap-
plauded.
AT one tlme." said Commissioner
Gabaldon, Congress had before il no
less than thirty resolutions expressing
sympathy with the aspirations of the
IRISH people, II 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 un-
needed. Must there be exceptions,
then, In international justice?
My plea. gentlemen OF the Ameri-
can Congress, is that you ignore ne
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 a golden opportunity
to give to the world unanswerabIe
proof OF its sincerity. Its 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 apprc-
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 all
history. The high POINTS Of the Amer
lean policy In the Philippines have
been consistently inspired by altruism.
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 10 grant
us that which we hold dearer than life
itself-our freedom. independence is
our national ideal 1t is our all alb
sorbing aim. 1t grows stronger every
hour. For the spirit OF natiOnaIism
never dies Much less can it be. sub
dued We believe that we can never
hope to be n sturdy nation IL we are
to rely forever on the magnanIinity OF
the United States.
AIIGTlCd ldSh III luE
Islands is finished What you have as
sumed as your sacred obligation in
that part OF the world has been full
filed people with medieval sys-
ten of institutions has been trans
formed into conscious nation, i'm
bued with all that Is modern in the
activities Of nations. And II you give
US independence our gratitude TO you
will increase a thousand fold; II 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 a stable government on the Is
lands? In the Jones law you promised
Independence upon the establishment
Of such a stable government. Your
own Governor-General has officially
reported that there is a stable gov
ernment In existence today, and we
also have submitted plenty Of evidence
to substGntiate its existence. There
fore. we hope and expect America will
now carry out its pledge"

Congressman Ed.
ward j. King
of Illinois.

DOuHu " grant I'M
dependence without further delay.
Congressman King is one of an 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-
vldes that within one year the Philip
pine government, under presidential
proclamation, may assemble a conven-
ton and frame a 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 coaling 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 II they
do not get it.
No nation has the right" said Con-
gressman 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 little more observance of the
golden rule in national and interna-
tional affairs would soon dlspeI that
desire for exploitation, the fiercest foe
Of freedom in the world today.
when 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
aggrandizement, but solely by humani-
tartan impulses"
Congressman King called attention
to the fact that Filipiaos 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 as to Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley, which was as
follows:
IN my opinion these people Gill
pinos) are superior in intelligence and
more capable of self government than
the natives OF Cuba, and am familiar
with both
Congressman King then recited the
preamble to the Jones law, passed
August 20, 1916 and declared 1t was a
definite pledge Of independence. The
preamble stated Iii is as it has always
been the purpose Of the people OF
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their independence as
soon as stable government can be
established therein"
Congressman King stated there was
no question but that the Fflipinos had
established the specified stable gov.
ernment and, therefore. 1t is the
solemn duty OF the United States to
grant the promised Independence

at 81 Park avenue, Hoboken, to
get the seven-year-eld son Of
Charles p. Frenz of SpotswoOd,

est # the islands Of the archipelago.
Ii 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 a tropical wilderness with
no capital save their patience, perSe-
verence and energy and win hOmes or
themselves, have the necessary stamina
