THE PHILIPPINES

Carmi Thompson. who visited and studied the
Philippines for President Coolidge represents the Fill
pinos not exactly hostile to the United States but
eager for independence, and the Moros actively
friendly to this country and to have American
rule permanently.
The Moros, though comparatively few in number, oc-
cupy about third OF the of the islands, and
perhaps the most productive and valuable part
II the islands reinquished as whole says
Thompson. there would be immediate war between
Flpinos and Moros resulting probably in the EXTERN
ination of the Moros.
That suggests rather simple way to solve the po-
ltca problem there.
The United States has promised to give the islanders
Their independence when they are ready for it. Those
islands, with their 100000 Inhabitants were taken
over as duty by accident of 1t would be con-
trary to the principles which the United States was
established to any foreign contrary to its
will. Consent of the governed, is the foundation
stone Of system
There is general agreement therefore, in this coun-
try, that the Fipnos should have their independence
within reasonable time if their political development
continues and they still want their freedom That
could be managed, doubt, in a way that would pre-
serve reciprocal trade privileges between the two coun
tries and establish sort of American protectorate
over the country. As for The Moros they and their
country might Ue made a permanent American posses
son with territorial government, if they still prefer
that. p'0

SENATOR HIRAM JOHNSON

He lost, but he went down fighting, and for the
splendid battle he put up all through this short session
of congress- in an effort to have the Swing Johnson
bill passed, Imperial Valley owes him debt of graf
itude.
Had he been successful in obtaining the coture rule
and passing the bill through the senate, Imperial Val
ley would have hailed johnson hero. He is none
the less hero because he lost.
Heroism does not consist in winning victories. II 1t
did many hero who is accorded the acclaim of all,
in the public eye long enough to win a victory. The
loser who has put up honorable fight, and goes to
defeat gamely accepting the inevitable without Dip
ping his coors is much a hero as him whose
banners perches victory.
Johnson fought good fight and an honorable one.
Even i nthe desperate moments when he using
every to obtain the coture rule he voluntarily
yielded the floor to his arch enemy Senator Ashurst
who spoke for 10 minutes against adoption of the clio
ture That was craftsmanship and fair play of the
finest type.
The senior senator from California gave the utmost
of his physical and political strength to win Imperial
Valleys battle consistent battler against the clo
rule ever since he elected to the senate he
nevertheless swept aside his personal views in the mat
ter to make a last desperate attempt for success.
Concedng the fact that the bill is lost for this
sion, there is hope that it may be brought up again at
the next session in December. If that can be DONE
Johnson will be in the front ranks, battling
only he battle 1t not the bill Of itself that
defeated Saturday, rather it the senates ira
ditional antipathy to the cloture rule.
Many Of the senators who voted against cloture and
these included even Senator La Toilette, Johnson's
right hand strong for the bill. 1t unfortun-
ately caught in a snarl of parliamentary proce
dure peculiar to the senate and this fact its undo
ing
Success will yet and when it does it is to be
hoped that it will with Johnson leading the fight
1t has been said that thing better than success is
to deserve success Johnson deserves success and NAV

and that 5000 was. advanced on the
gold. 1t was a pint bottle, practi-
