We have frequent occasion to pro-
test against the efforts Of Japan to
impose her dominion upon unwilling
peoples. yet we have thus far failed
to exemplify the ideals which we rec
to Japan. If we should with
draw our sovereignty from the Philip
pines, in accordance with u repeated
promises, we could the more consist
emily ask Japan to follow a similar
course toward Shantung, Manchuria
and Siberia. Our plea would have a
great deal more force If we could
make it with clean hands. To say that
the Philippines are not ready for in
dependence is merely to express an
arbitrary, gratuitous opinion. 1t is
perfectly easy to create conditions
in ones own mind-that no people
ever could comply with. Our delay
about respecting our own pledge is a
reflection on our national good faith
and a constant invitation to interna-
tional complications in the far east

The Philippine government is encour-
aging the immigration Of Filipinos
from the thickly populated sections In
to Mindanao. This is the second larg-
est ef the islands of the archipelago.
1t is still sparsely settled, although
1t 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 a 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
to run their own affairs.

enterprising pioneers who leave thick

The Filipino has been much misrep-
resented in the United States. This is
largely because the Sunday supple

The total population of the Philip

are Christians and civilized, and have
been so for 300 years, possessing a Gull
ture and refinement that will compare
