Instruction Is BreWing
in Philippine Islands
Serious Crisis Develops as Filipinos Go on
Strike, Leaving Gen. Wood Alone

Eular and even local affairs
The particular incident which pre-
clpitated the crisis was the reinstate-
mcnt. by Gen. Wood, Of Ray Conley,
a secret service agent accused OF
bribery. and whose resignation was
later accepted by Wood himself
That. however. was only the sur
face eruption. The disease is deeper
than that The FIlipinos want their
independence.
From the frs, the Filipinos were
given TO understand they would be
set free as soon as they proved they
could govern themselves This prom
Use was made official by the Jones
act. passed BY congress during the
Wilson administration.
When Gov. Gen. Francis Burton
Harrison went 10 Manila in 1915, he
went instructed to give the Filipinos
a chance 10 show what they could do.
He did A native cabinet, a senate
and house. just like those in Wash
lngton, were set up. and from that
time until the coming OF Gen. Wood,
in 1891, the natives governed them
selves with Harrison merely look
ing on.
Comparing the Filipino congress
with It's pattern In Washington. II did
a pretty good job. They had a petty
election scandal or two. but the
United States senate had its New
berry. Justice. II was charged,
sometimes went awry. but New Mex.
ico's governor has just admitted one
Of his courts was disgrace and a
blot on the state. And so on.
At any rate. President Wilson. in
1920. thought so well of the Filipino
effort at f-government that he
said the time had come for America
TO make good her promise.
At this howl went up from the
Americans in the Philippines. They
hated Gov. Harrison bitterly for Civ
ing free rein TO the Fillplnos and the
Wilson note to congress was fuel TO
the fire. Annexation pure and simple
was their demand
Gen. Wood and former Gov. Cam
eron Forbes, Of the Philippines, ar
rived on the scene about this time.
The writer wss sent by this paper to
accompany the mission. which was
to find out II the islands could gov
ern themselves
From the start II was clear the
Wood Forbes report would be in tho
negative. The writer, in his first
story from Manila, said the Filipinos
would not get their independence and
was able to say that instead of free
dom the administration OF the is
lands would be frightened up"
This Tightening up process Is
what has CALLED the natives. Gen.
Wood, now governor has taken the
islands back out of their hands, they
charge.
We'll wait for independence indcf-
initely,' n Filipino senator told me,
"and we W Mt fight. But such free
dom as we have attained must not
be taken from us, II It is. therell be
trouble"
Now the trouble has begun.
