GIVES Jews ON PHILIPPINES.
To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
In a recent issue of The Herald
there was a story under the cap
tion-"Says Philippines Hesitate to
Take Independent Path" It pur-
ports to be a special cable from
Manila and is subscribed by one
Charles Daley.
The impression which the writer
desires to convey is epitomized in
the concluding paragraph which is
as follows:
$50 the leaders are trembling in
their boots. They dare not say that
they do not wish independence now,
and they dare not say they do. for
fear 1t will be handed to them over
| night"
All this is part of the propagands
against Philippine independence
now in evidence throughout the
country, and timed to prepare the
American people for the announce
ment' that faith with the Filipinos
is not to be kept.
We respectfully submit that the
best way to find out whether the
Filipinos really want their inde-
pendence is to give IL to them i'm
mediately.
Conversely, the best way to tell
them that the leaders of the Amer.
ican people do not mean to give the
islands their Independence. con-
trary to the repeated pledges, is &c
tell them that outright.
Why should the Fiiipinos be made
the victims of subterfuges and ex.
cuses? Why should there be any
necessity Of misrepresenting their
stand?
They fought Spain for this same
independence. They fought Amer.
lea also. To assert now that they
do not care for their freedom is tc
4 pervert facts.
That our campaign for freedom 1,
being waged peacefully and not by
force Of arms should not be taker
as an indication of lukewarmnes,
on our part. Certainly the oppon.
ents Of Philippine independence,
would not want us to start another
ireland in the Philippines to con-
vince them that we are sincerely
asking for the Independence which
has been promised time and timt
again.

In England itself a vociferous
faction of the well-organized work
ingmen's political associations has
been demanding recognition of the
Soviet. In India the native rerolu-
tionists have been reinforced and
supported in their campaign against
the empire by agents of the Boil
sheviki. In Egypt the Russian
agitators have appeared to add to
the unrest of the population. Eng
land may figure that buying OF the
Bolsheviki by opening trade routes
now closed in return for Bolshevik
pledge to cease propaganda in Brit
ish dominions will be profitable. no
matter how disappointing actual
trade between Russia and England
may be.

SOUTH AMBOY RESIDENTS
PETITION TO COUNCILMEN
tBy Evening News Correspondent


SOUTH AMBOY, April 16.-Resi-
dents along Florence avenue have
petitioned the common council TO
provide an entrance to the street
on the ground that it was formally
accepted years ago. When the pave
ment was laid IN Bordentown ave
nue. no provision was made for an
entrance to the so-called Florence
avenue for the reason that 1t mad
never been recognized on any city
map.
C. S. Bucklew, representing these
interests. appeared before the coun
Gil at their business meeting last
night for the purpose of bringing
the matter to a head. He produced
an agreement between the property
owners in that section making Flor
ence avenue a street. 1t was his
contention that when the city placed
water mains and sewer pipes on the
street 1t constituted an acceptance.
This opinion was also backed up by
the city solicitor who stated that
while the city had never accepted
the street in reality they had in eff
feet. He urged its acceptance. He
also recommended that steps be
taken to open up what is now known
as Cross street in that same vicinity.
The matter now rests in the hands
of the street committee who r
working with the idea of accepting
both of these streets.
