FILIPINO URGES
 ISLANDS, FREEDOM
Pedro Blanco Says Natives Can
 Now Govern Selves

That the Philippine Islands are ready and capable of governing themselves. was the theme of an address given by Pedro Blanco. Filipino. to the members Of the Ro- tary club at noon today.
 Mir. Blanco took up the objections which have been made to Philippine Independence and pointed out that these, while exceptions and not in- dicative of the actual conditions existing in the islands in general, also are found in the same relative situation in America.
 He said the Filipino has had an opportunity to study American his tory and the biographies of great Americans for the past 2S years and added that continued paternalism of the United States towards the Philippines would be detrimental to both.
 He said the Filipino realizes the greatness of American ideals but intimated that those who voted against the Philippine resolution made themselves conspicuous ex- captions to those ideals. He claimed that the natives are in better shape today to govern themselves from an economic standpoint than were the American colonies in 1776.
 He referred to the charges that Philippine independence would make those islands a prey to Japan by saying it would be the only Christian nation in the Far East, and that Australia and England would be greatly interested in seeing that Japan did not get foothold In the Philippines.
 The members were treated to apples, significant of Apple week, by Elijah Rogers and by individual jars of honey by LeRoy Reddick.
 Henry Rowe was admitted as a new member. He was welcomed into the club by Rev. w. II. Alderson. who pointed out that civic clubs are not simply places were men can go to escape home cooking or to try to sing, or just hold weekly meet ings but that they have an ideal, that of service to others.

 Extreme gains on 2 to 4 points were recorded by Reading, I.aclla- wanna and Delaware and Hudson on movement of coal to tidewater for exoprt to Europe and reports of an increased domestic demand. By products coke was another strong spot.
 Early selling of the motors prob ably was stimulated by the usual seasonal curtailment of production by some of the large manufacturers. Chino, Ray and Nevada coppers were bid up to new 1928 highs on the prospect of higher dividends by some of the copper companies be- fore the end of the year. American Smelling also received strong buy ing support.
 Elevation of Phillip Morris to a new peak for the year was attribut- ed to reports of large current earn ings, and the prospect for record breaking holiday business. Revival of activity and strength in Famous Players was In anticipation of in- creased earnings with the opening of the corporations new theater here next month.
