The parliamentary commission now
en- route to this country Is authorized
actually to negotiate for independence.
It is coming fortified with data, include,
ing many government reports. to pre-.
sent at hearings. to show that a stable
government is in existence in the
Philippines. and to combat the reeom..
mendations Of the Wood-Forbes report.
which was adverse to early independ..
ence.
The mission will oppose the extension
OF the coastwise shipping laws to the
Philippines. In this connection it is
stressed that the Filipinos have never
charged. that the United States Is ex-i
plotting the Philippine Islands. but that
the extension OF the coastwise lawsI
might lead to suoh q charge. and ity

The partial rehabilitation Of the Senate and
House-partial because while all members of

to the plan of the fathers to have the repre-
sentative body refreshed every two years with
an infusion of new blood. This year the
volume Of infusion is expected to be larger
than usual, due to the abnormal republican
majority in the House, swept in by the presi-
Dental majority of 1920 and the natural
political reaction therefrom.

witness the holding of primaries in a num-

was also applied to other commodi-
ties. Last fall the commission or
dered II per cent reduction in rates
on hay and grain in the west and
ordered a similar reduction in food
commodities from and to. New Eng
land points. Since that time there
have been no reductions of a general
country.
Railroads Must Have Profit.
While the Interstate Commerce
Commission. 1t Is believed. will order
some reduction, whether general or
on specific commodities, 1t is charged
at the same time under tho transpor-
tation act Of 1920 with so regulating
railroad rates that the roads may Sc
cure an adequate rate of return. The
problem, therefore, is to so regulate
rates that the roads will secure an
adequate return" and at the same
time to satisfy the consumer and the
shipper. This requirement, in the
face Of recent increased earnings of
the railroads as shown by figures for
March, practically ties the hands Of
the commission in ordering q general
rate reduction. for the class l rail-
roads, taken as a whole. have not
shown a per cent return on their
valuation for many months. 1t is
also stated that II the commission did
order lower rates which did not meet
with tho approval of the roads. the
decision could be tested in the fed
eral courts. involving delay in their
effectiveness.
All otti.ens Are Interested.
Every American Is interested in tho
forthcoming decision to the extent
that 1t will affect his or her pocket
book. Reduction on all commodities
will be pleasing to the public. and
possibly displeasing to the railroads.
Maintenance Of the present rate level
Of finished products and reduction Of
the rates on low-grade bulky oom-
modities will meet with approval In
some quarters and disapproval in 9TH
ers, while maintenancs Of rates at
tho present level will hardly ind SYM
pathy among the majority OF business
mon and manufacturers.
Tho commission has not hinted or
