GENERAL WOOD STAGING
ANOTHER FIASCO

The Fiipinos have their spokes-
men in Washington land these men,
in Congress, and in their educational
propaganda, have jumped onto the
so-called Wood-Forbes anti-indepen-
dence report with all feet. When
General Wood and former Governor
Forbes went to the Philippines in
March, everyone knew that they
would make report that would
sstall" the independence movement
for awhile, at least. To be fair with
these gentlemen, that was what they
were sent for.
Commissioner Gabaldon is giving
the widest possible publicity to the
position of his people. "We want
independence" he declared on the
floor of the House of Representatives
the other day, ''but we are not knock
ing at the doors of Congress with
any bitterness in our hearts. But
to prove to US that independence is
the greatest blessing of mankind, as
you have successed in doing, and
that it is the one thing every patrio-
tic citizen is justified in dying to OBJ
tain, and then to deny us that in
dependence, would surely be cruel
accomplishment"
The Filipinos are handling General
Wood very respectfully, but they
have punched his report" so full of
holes that the General stands no
more show in the final resume of the
subject-whidh eventually must be
reached by the American Congress,
than he Gid in his attempt to pick off
the Republican nomination a la New
berry in the Chicago convention last
year.
We have just had great interna-
tional conference in Washington in
which many nations have voiced their
grievances, and one needs only to
regard the upheaval Of opinion in
sympathy with China to understand
that the heart of the people who be-
lieve in democracy still beats
honestly and periodically for people
who are ambitious to rule and govern
themselves. The Philippine prob

WASHINGTON LETTER
By J. E. JONES. :
:
ssDIRT FARMERS"
AMONG CONFEREES

Three hundred delegates have been
attending the agricultural confer
ence in Washington. President
Harding, in his address at the open
ing session declared that there
should be developed thorough code
of law and business procedure, with
the proper machinery of finance,
through some agency, to insure that
turnover capital shall be as gener-
ously supplied to the farmer and on
as reasonable terms as to other in
dustries." He added: "An indus
try, more vital than any other, in
which nearly half the nations wealth
is invested can be relied upon for
good security and certain returns"
There have been so many "con-
ferences" during the past two or
three years that there is something
that is foggy in the very word. In
the case Of the present conference
there is none because it has in its
makeup many "dirt farmers
who know from their own expert
ences the difficulties and troubles that
are now almost paralyzing the farm
interests of the Nation.
While these men are laboring with
their intricate problems it is just
as well to note that practically all
the remedies that are being suggest
ed by way of legislation have. al
ready been vigorously championed by
the best men in both branches of
Congress. In the discussions in
Congress the same things have been
said that have been repeated in
the farm conference. 1t is the oft
repeated story of financing the farm
err" and legislating in his behalf.
Once in awhile someone talks about
market and marketing and then
because the proposition is so intri-
cate and the present marketing sys-
tenn so thoroughly intrenched through
out the country, the subject is dropp-
ed. And still nearly everyone
knows that in marketing and trans
portation exist the troublesome
stumbling blocks that the farmers
can not surmount.
Conferences" nevertheless have a
distinct purpose, and such bodies as
that which represents agriculture will
be listened to very attentively, and
if their conclusions are economically
sound they are apt to serve as the
guide in constructing new legislation;
because Congress is always sensi-
tive towards interpreting the public
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1922-02-02

will; and consequently if the "dirt
farmers" can really show wherein
the farm situation may be improved
without uprooting the whole econ
omic and industrial structure of the
country, then it is quite certain that
CAPITAL Hill and the White House will
be found supporting the Conference.
While improvements in existing farm
conditions are devoutly hoped for,
still the fact remains that something
more than the passage of laws, no
matter how constructive they may
be, is needed to save the farmers in
the near-perilous plight in which they
now are.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1922-02-02

lem belongs to the American nation,
and there is no question but what
we must meet it fairly. The Filipinos
are making their own wishes known,
and it is apparently true, as they
state, that the selfish commercial in
terests that have grown up in the
Islands, and that are mainly directed
by Americans, are obstructing their
progress towards self-government.
The Filipines admit that the Ameri
can government has been their bene-
factor; but they are pardonably proud
of their remarkable progress, and
very insistent for recognition of the
fact that their advancement along
educational, industrial and political
lines, must not be swept aside by a
mere thing like report" even
though it happens to be made by a
man who has attained distinction by
reason of Presidential preference I'M
der two Administrations. They
challenge General Woods report as
opinionated and lacking in true
presentation Of the facts" Con-
gress does not need to be told that
the Wood Forbes report teens with
statements that are contradictory of
the conditions reported by some of
the ablest men in the Senate and the
House-m members of both parties,
who have personally gone to the Phil
ippines and made reports" that were
not inspired. The Wood report in
wolves the future status in the World
of ten million people in the Philip
pines-and as usual, General Wood
is not convincing.
One is reminded b ythe WoodFor-
hes report Of the difnition found
under the word report" in the Uni
versal Dictionary, which says: "The
sound of an explosion; a loud noise;"
and defined more clearly in the
next line by quotation from Shake
speare's Midsummer Nights Dream,
which reads: Rising and cawing at
the guns report"

INTEREST IN
CONFERENCE WAVES

newspaper eulJOIS WIN oSliI oPSSiai
correspondents to the Conference for
the Limitation of, Armament are
calling their writers home on the
ground that public interest in the
affairs has ceased to exist. The
next struggle on the part of the
Administration will be to put the
Horsepower treaty through the
Senate. While the opposition in
that body has not developed to any
extent, nevertheless it is significant
that some of the leaders are pressing
measures like that of the soldiers
bonus, agricultural legislationl. and
the tariff, and are insisting that Con
gress must "close up shop" by June
L, and then adjourn until after the
fall elections. When asked: "How
about the treaties" the statesmen
are apt to act as though they had been
reminded of something that had been
overlooked. Some of them reply,
systematically: ooh, that's so. Well,
well, I don't know Others among
them who appear to have given more
thought to the matter differ as to
whether the treaties will be ratified
at this session, or go over until the
next session-and a good many have
expressed themselves that cit will
be all right to wait awhile"
There is no doubt but what the
Administration is deeply concerned
about the sag in public interest.
Secretary of State Hughes is regard
ed as the one who will have to direct
the fight for ratification, and upon
the success or failure of his efforts
will doubtless depend his whole pol
itical future.
DAWES AND HIS BUDGET
Cabinet officers who used to figure
out their appropriations and then
have them "okehed" by Congress
have found themselves put out of
business by the methods inaugurated
by General Dawes, who is running
the Budget System" Dawes must
have worked at a cheese counter dur
ing some period of his life, if the
way he slices off the millions is to be
taken as an indication of his mental
measurements. Just to show the
natives" of the Capital City how
close he can get to the rind he took
$6,000,000 off the estin.ates for the
District of CHA faslle. The
Agricultural Department and other
Departments ca Bureaus continue
to groan, and to complain that they
''can't get by" but the pitiless Dawes
continue to practice economy along
the lines the "other fellows" used to
preach. And strangely enough
those who shouted loudest and long
est fer the Badget are now the ones
who are least satisfied with it.
