MANILA. August 23.-Acting Gov.
Gen. Gilmore's first statement hint
ing what his policy may be has been
well received by the Legislature and
press. He showed how costly gov
ernment already is, taxes equaling

and preached less paternalism and
more sclf-reliance and indlvcuai

Gov. Gen. Woods policy, which he
helped to formulate for FIVE years. !.
Though Gilmore Is charged with fun
responsibilities of the governorshir.
he has not been forwarded a@omm!s-
sion from Washington even as acting
governor general. While he thus
holds the governor generals position
ex.officio, the post of vice governor Is
not legally vacant, the duties OF that
office devolving upon a native under
secretary. If anything should happen
to Gilmore, grave difficulties might
result, as there would be no chief ex'
