Plebiscite for Independence
Vetoed by President

Washington. April Z Up - Presi-
dent Coolidge has vetoed a move
by the Philippine legislature for n
plebiscite on the question OF i'm
mediate independence for the is-

power rather than the maintenance
OF 4 wcll-covered community.
A bill proposing a vote on this
question was passed by the insular
legislature over the opposition Of
Governor General Wood. but the
action OF the president. announced
yesterday, definitely shelves the
measure.
In 1000 word message. the
president assailed the plebiscite
suggestion opposed the present agi-
tation for Independence and de-
clared that the plebiscite. under
conditions provided or. in fact,
now possible. would not accom-
plish the stated purpose. The re-
suit OF the vote would be uncon-

penience recently was opposed by

Then he went from one group

tons as TO what he would do, said,

made virtually without incident.

New Orleans. He would then travel
north to 81. Louis and Chicago,
where he may take OFF for Montreal.
He would then fly 10 d point in

the plane at New York and then
