FILIPINO PATRIOTS
IN INDEPENDENCE
PLEA TO STATES
Island Leaders Determined
to Have Congress Press
Action on Bill,
Times Washington Bureau,
% . A-nar Nna-L- IL


WASHINGTON, May 1.-the de-
cisive battle for the independence
of the Philippine Islands is now on.
Il do not intend to go back home
until our status is definitely fixed,
one way or another" Manuel Quez-
on, president of the Philippine
Senate has announced. He arrived
from Manila recently to take COM
mand of the FihpinOs' siege of Con-
gress.
Other native officials now in the
Capital helping direct the lombard
ment are Speaker Manuel Roxas, of
The Philippine Lower House, and
Senator Sergio Osmena, ex-Speaker
of the House. Gen. Emilio Aguinal-
Go, who as a young man twice led
Filipino instructions, but now =
real friend of the United States, is
expected here later on.
OF course, what we want is i'm
mediate independence" Senator
Quezon said, but, with very slight
modification, we will accept the pro-
visions of the bill introduced by
Congressman Louis w. Fairfield of
Indiana, chairman of the Insular
Affairs Committee of the House
Own Constitution
This bill, as reported by the COM
mittee. provides for a constitution
of our own complete self-rule for
twenty years under the American
flag as a Commonwealth of the
DL3TS~,fr-,-.s
our own machinery Of Government.
And finally, at the end of this pc
riod, full independence is auto
matically provided for.
Our principal objection to the
Fairfield bill is that we feel twenty
years is too long. Originally it was
thirty years, which was like reward
Use of heaven.
I'VE like the provisions of the
Fairfield bill, all save the twenty
year clause, and we shall fight to
have this changed"
Congressman Fairfield has little
hope Of getting his bin to the floor
of Congress before adjournment for
the political conventions.
IF Congress takes a recess over
the conventions" he said Ito con-
vence afterwards for a summer
session during July and August, my
bill is likely TO come up. Otherwise
I'm afraid the docket is too
crowded"
Want Action
Filipino leaders, however, are
doing their utmost to get action on
the bill before the June adjourn
ment. They have backing in both
parties, but the short time is against
them.
IF We fail to get action at this
session of Congress" Senator Que
ION said, we shall seek to have
definite independence planks inserted
in the platforms of both parties at
the conventions. "
How long, then, do you expect
to remain in this country" the
doughty Filipino leader was asked.
Until I can carry back with me
TO the Philippines this country's def
mite Official yes or no to our in
dependence" he replied.
At the hearings before the Insular
Affairs Committee it was pretty gen
orally agreed that uncertainty over
the islands future initiates against
their present prosperity, since cap
ital is VIGOROUSLY timid about set
ting in a country whose government
is unfixed and liable to radical and
sudden change.
Sentiment on both sides Of Con
gress, therefore. is that a definite
status for the Philippines should be
fixed at the earliest possible time.
