Says Powers Could
Not be Increased
(By The Associated Press J

MANILA, Jan. 15.-Speaking before
a meeting of Filipino students return
ing from American universities today,
Manuel Quezon, president of the Philip
pine senate declared Governor General
Wood had assumed such powers that he
has erected himself into an executive,
legislative and judicial department all
in one"
President Quezon stated that the
Philippine independence campaign has
been seriously menaced, and urged all
Eilipinos to fight harder than ever but
always within the realm Of law and
peace. He said:
1T is inconceivable that the powers
of the governor general can be further
increased as recommended by President
Coolidge. In fact, the governor general
has assumed such powers that he has
erected himself into an executive, legis-
lative and judicial department all in one.
In other words, he is the Philippine
government himself, and the Philippine
legislature has returned to mere de-
batting body"
