HIGH HOPES HELD
. IN THE PHILIPPINES
Fear of Reactionary Policy
by Harding Admins
tration Dissipated.
CONGRESS GETS REPORT
Secretary of Interior Kalaw Tells
of British Lead in Shipping.
Trade Crisis Over.
CONGRESS GETS REPORT

Fear that the new republican ad-
ministration would pursue a reac-
ticnary policy toward the Philippine
Islands has now been succeeded by
high hopes" for the future, accord
ing to the annual report of Theodore
M KaIaw, secretary of the interior
of the island government. This oocu-
ment, together with the reports Oh
other native officials. was contained
in Gov. Gen. Woods annual report
for 1921. which President Harding
sent to Congress yesterday.
Britain Ahead In shipping.
Attention is called to statement
by the secretary of finance that
Great Britain has again replaced the
United States in the matter of ship
ping. Of the total trade for 1921, the
report said, 41.6 per cent was handled
by British ships, while vessels under
United States registry carried only
81. Japan handled IL per cent, the
remainder being scattered.
The finance, secretary said the
Philippine Islands have just emerged
from the worst economic crisis In
their history, but with the revival OF
shipping he was optimistic for the
future.
Statements Caused Fear.
Mr.. Kalaw, in his report, pointed
out that fear of reactionary treatment
by the Harding administration was
caused solely by the statements OF
republicans in the United States tend
ing toward indefinite retention OF the
islands" but the attitude OF the
nations new officials has largely dis
sipated that impression.
Gen. Woods report to President
Harding consisted of that Of the
special wood-Forbes mission which
made an extensive survey Of condi-
tions there last year and which pre-
vfously had been made public. He ex-
planned that former Gov. Gen. Har-
rison had complied no statements
upon his retirement from office, and
Gen. Wood. having been in office less
than three months of the year, felt
that the purpose of an annual report
would best be served by the report
of the special mission which covered
all phases of territorial conditions.

FAILS TO SUSTAIN
BRITISH CHARGES.
State Department Thus Far
Finds Newcastle Con,uIs
Have Acted Properly.
PRESIDENT TAKES HAND
Believes Nothing Has Developed to
Reflect Discredit on Ameri-
can Representatives.
PRESIDENT TAKES HAND

State Department officials have in
dicated that until satisfactory evil
dence is produced to show that the
United States consular officers al New
castle, England, had acted improperly
in viseing passports of British sub
Jects desiring to visit the United
States no steps will be taken by this
government to REOPEN that consulate.
The British government withdrew the
exequaturs of the American consuls
on the general ground that they had
refused to wise such passports unless
the holders Travelled on American
steamships. The investigation con-
Quoted by the State Department, so
far as IL has progressed, does not
sustain that contention.
President Is Interested.
According TO the Associated Press.
the President has interested himself
in the case, and while he recognizes
that additional evidence may be pro-
duced as the Investigations continue,
he believes nothing has developed to
the present time to reflect discredit
on the two men.
The wish was expressed at the
White House. the Associated Press
said, thar Americans should interest
themselves in the United States
merchant marine to as great an eX-
tent as other nationals were in
tereste6 in the shipping interests of
their countries. The expression of that
desire was accepted in some official
quarters as indicating a tendency on
the part of American government Of
ficials to approve rather than disap-
prove the action of the Newcastle
consuls at least so far as they have
been revealed in information received
here.
Authorized in Treaty Of 1915.
Though generally recognized by in
tenrational law as an inherent
sovereign right OF any states. the
cancellation of exquaturs held by
consular officers is specifically au-
thoriZed in the treaty of 1915 between
the United States and Great Britain
known as "a treaty TO regulate COM
merce between the two countries"
Ambassador Harvey. in London. has
been fully advised of the situation
as ii is viewed by officials here. He
also has been informed that the
policy of this government will be to
keep the consulate closed. at least
until the investigation being made is
concluded and the government is pre-
pared to assign new officers to the
Newcastle post.

whereby Mexico would acknowledge
