BIC FOUR PACT
MAY DISRUPT
FILIPINO AIMS
Likely to Prove Boomerang to
Pleas for Island In
dependence.
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS,
international News Service.

The four-power Pacific treaty,
upon which the Filipino special mis-
sion, soon to arrive in Washington,
plans to base its fight for independ-
ence, will prove a boomerang, accord.
ing to Administration officials here
today.
Instructions to the delegation,
which are Endorsed by the Filipino
legislature. direct the leaders to
point out to President Harding and
to Congress that this treaty has re.
moved the greatest obstacle to Phil
ippine independence. namely. the
necessity OF providing guarantees
that the independence Of the islands.
if granted, would be respected by
other powers.
Since the four.power treaty binds
Japan to respect the integrity of the
insular possessions Of the participat.
ing powers, the mission will argue.
there is no longer any reason to fear
that Japan will "gobble up" the Phil
ippines the moment the United
States relinquishes its protection.
When the Filipino plan OF cam
paign became known here. the Al.
ministration was somewhat worried,
as there appeared, at first sight, TO
he no answer to the argument. To.
day, however. State Department
expert set opponents OF Philippine
independence at rest by pointing out
that the moment the Filipinos arc
granted their independence their
islands cease to be "insular posses.
sions" OF the United States. and
therefore fall without the scope OF
the four power treaty.
