Mr.. Zukor said In his deposition he
had made two payments Of S25, 900 each
to Hiram Abrams. one for himself and
the other for Jesse Lasky. He said he

to prevent publicity and to shield GER

NOW FOR PHILIPPINE INpEPEN.
DENCE.

The Japanese bugaboo as an impor
tant factor in the Philippine indepen-
dence question is deadl 1t died with
the birth of the four power treaty
having for its avowed object the keep
ing Of the peace in the Pacific.
With a single stroke, the admins
tration has killed what up to this time
has been a powerful factor, IL not the
most powerful factor in public opinion
In the United States, against Philip
pine independence.
1--WE would really like to see you
Filipinos obtain your independence, .
has been the assurance of many sim
cero and admiring friends Of the Fill
pino people. but we are afraid ia
pan would gobbIe you up
Even the Wood Forbes anti-in de-
pendenee report took cognizance Of
this bugaboo. The report. recently
made public, declared the United
States would not be justified in '1eav-
ing the islands a prey TO any power
full nation coveting their rich soil and
potential commercial advantages"
But now all is changed. For the
United States now to take this attitude
would be 20 belittIe the efficacy of its
own handiworl, the new treaty, and
to show lack Of confidence in the new
allies
There is not the slightest reason to
doubt but that the four power treaty
has been signed in good faith. and ii
SO, PHILIPPINE republic. the first
Christian democracy of the Far East.
viii be perfectly safe. If the United
States sets IT UP ais a daughter repub-
lie, the four greatest nations on earth
win be behind it
But, should there be tho least APP
prehension on this score, i viii now
be q comparatively easy and simple
matter for the United States to in
duce its allies, Japan, Great Britain
and France, to sign a special Philip
pine neutrality agreement.
There is every reason to believe the
three allies would sign an agreement
ii asked to do so by the United States
No nation could afford to refuse to
sign and thus so early risk the worlds
Hnfavorable conclusions as to its good
faith respecting the new treaty as
well as its honorable intentions to-
ward the Philippines.
But the really important Develop
ment is that the Japanese bugaboo
has received its death blow The pro-
pitious opportunity has arrived for the
United States to keep it's oft-repeated
pledge to the people of the Philippine
Islands

They were poorly clad, body and feet.

Early each morning they would rise
Sheltered only by the beautiful skies
Then their breakfast they would pre-

After which they would cat in open

Refusing each and every offer to ride
Never wearing clothes nor shoes that
