. The Philippines Problem.

Mischieyous work is under way in
Manila on the part of agitators for
immediate and unconditional independ
ence of the Philippine Islands. Recent
ly the insular cabinet resigned as a
protest against certain action by
Gen. Wood in reinstating secret serv.
ice man who had been tried on charges
and acquitted. That was palpably only
trivial cause of resentment, and has
been so accepted in this country,
where it is generally understood that
the trouble at Manila has arisen from
the political intrigues OF a party ad-
vocating the. Immediate independence
Of the islands. Back Of the incident of
sthe secret service man~is q record of
friction between Gen. Wood and GER
tain elements in the islands, starting
almost with his arrival on a special
mission and eliminating in the unani-
NOUS declaration of the insular legis-
lature demanding Gen. Woods recall.
The trouble in the islands comes
from the fact that Gen. Wood, doubt
less under instructions based upon his
report Of conditions as he found them
to be, has been trying to undo some
of the ,unwise' work of the preceding
administration with regard to the
Philippines. The former policy was to
turn the islands quickly over to native
control, and as a consequence the in
sular administration had become rapid
1y native, with resultant diminution
in efficiency. Truth is that the Fill.
pinos are not yet ready to assume the
burden and responsibility of their own
government. That is the conclusion Of
Gen. Wood. and that will doubtless be
the basis OF the decision Of the govern.

World Peace Looking Up.

Peace in the near east has been con-
summated by the signing of the treaty
negotiated at Lausanne between Great
Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Greece,
Rumania and Turkey. This action was
made the occasion of great demonstra-
tions in the Swiss city, where the rep
resentatives of the powers have la
bored for weeks and months on the
treaty, in Constantinople and else
where
This treaty marks the definite re-
establishment of peace in the world"
is the outstanding phrase in a letter
addressed to President Scheurer by the
conferees, thanking the Swiss for their
hospitality.
1t is fact that, Notwithstanding
rumblings and rumors of war to come,
peace has formally been established
among the nations for the first time
since the beginning of the war in 1914.
The results of the negotiations at Lau-
same have raised the hopes of peace
advocates in all parts of the world.
Eyes turn instinctively to the Ruhr
u
the German reparations tangle is to
follow, further cementing the peace of
the world.
To the Turks the peace treaty brings
condition that has not existed in
their land for nearly a generation.
The Turco-Italian war, the first and
second Balkan wars and the world
war followed in succession for the OF
toman empire.
Turkey, under the terms OF the new
treaty, becomes a member of the
LEAGUE of nations, created for the pur-
pose of insuring world peace. Ger
many and Russia are the other foreign
powers still to be gathered into the
league fold. There is strong reason to
believe that Germany will be admitted
10 membership as soon as the repara
tions muddle is settled. In fact, Lord
Robert Cecil, English apostle of the
league, is of the opinion that Germany
should have been admitted to the
league long ago.
Russia, or rather the soviet govern
ment of Russia, is today an outlaw
among the nations. But time is ex-
pected to solve the Russian problem
as it did the problem of France after
the revolution. The re-establishment
Of friendly relations between the Turks
and the European powers has tended
TO lessen the menace of a union be-
tween the Turks and soviet Russia.

measureably nearer by the final rati.

treaty and the naval limitation of
