grave Of Emiliano Zapata, founder of
the Agrarian movement Of Mexico,
and on his grave swore that he would
carry out the principle of this great
leader that the earth belong to those
who cultivate 1t. The reactionary
press began an attack on Gales say
ing that zapata was an anarchist who
believed in the destruction Of all pri-

do for the next president Of Mexico
to advocate any such principles.
One day later Gales issued another
statement, saying in part: 1--WE do
not intend to disturb property or
wealth. But we think that the con-
quests which have been made by the
workers and peasants in the most
civilized countries can be established
by us in Mexico thru education, moral

FILIPINO PRESS
HITS WOODS VIEW
OF INDEPE NDENCE
Hopes u. S. Congress
Will Not Be Influenced

MANILA, P. l., April 24.-The en-
tire Filipino press, voicing the senti-
ments of the Filipino people, de-
nounced in no uncertain terms the I'M
called for and unjustified conclusion
Of Governor General Wood that strife
and disorder would result if the Fill
pinos were granted their independ-
ence. They state that history and ac.
tual facts prove that the main trait of
the Filipinos is their Unborn love for
peace.
The payers are one in the belief
that the American Congress will not
in any way be influenced by the
wholesale indictment of the Filipino
people by Governor General Wood in
his report to the secretary of war,
(which indicates, among other things,
a clear confession of the failure of
his policies in the Philippines to the
extent of losing his calnness before
his waning prestige as great admin
istrator."
Filipinos characterize his state
ment as similar to the bugaboo stories
related to children to create fear in
their hearts. They further say: ut is
not enough to say that we Justly ask
what is beneficial for us. The gov
ernor general should state what sug-
gestions he has looking toward the
establishment of permanent policy
and which will assure progress of
Americans and Filipinos and their flu
ture relationship. This can never be
done as long as the governor general
merely keeps repeating the rhetorical
phrase, 'heartless betrayal Of our
trust when referring to the aspira-
tions of the Filipino people"
A committee composed of members
from all political parties and promr
nent Filipino business men, headed
by Thomas Earnshaw, has been Gre
ated for the purpose of staging a pub
lie demonstration against the attitude
Of Governor General Wood, as ex-
pressed in his cable to the secretary
of war.
