DUBLIN. July 16-The assassina.
ton of Kelvin O'Higgins was COM
pared with those of Abraham Lincoln
and President Carnot of France in a
message given to the American press
yesterday by William T. Cosgrave,
president of the council of the Irish
Free State.
From time to time in the course of
evolution toward a more perfect form
of statehood" said the message, "all
nations have had to suffer from the
fell hand of the political assassin. But,
as the Christian faith has been
strengthened and glorified by the
blood of the martyrs who have been
done to death in it's cause, so the re-
generating work of great statesmen
for the progress and happiness of hui
manity has received new strength
from the sacrifices of those who have
given the supreme testimony to their
belief.
THE deaths of Lincoln and Carnot
convinced the peoples of America and
France that the welding together of
the fabric of the state is q noble hui
man part, worthy of the greatest sac
rifice that man can make for his fel-
low men.
"Kevin OHiggins, like Michael Col
Inns and Arthur Griffith, sacrificed his
life in testimony of his belief of the
sanctity of his country's bond. He be-
lieved, as they did, in his country's
destiny, and, like them, he saw with
clear vision that it could be accom-
plished only by treading tho hard way
of peaceful reconstruction and daily
sacrifice.
These three men were ready to
face obloquy and ingratitude-even
death itself--in the realization of their
ideals. Ireland will respond to their
example as other nations have done
in like circumstances. and the strength
Of their belief shall be the measure of
their countrys endeavor to bring their
ideals to fruition.

down, but he has written forward on
his country's banner. His country

Special Dispatch to The STAR
SINGAPORE, July 16.--The Sultan
of Sulu was in Singapore early IN
June for much the same reason that
many Americans go to Paris, namely,
for diversion and to see the CONNER
cial metropolis Of southern Asia. A
visit to neighboring Sultans and con-
tact with Mohammedans outside his
own archipelago, off the tip end of the
Philippines, were made possible by
the Singapore excursion.
At tea time the Sultan was glad to
talk of his views on the Philippine
problem, views which were maze
known widely during the Thompson
tour of investigation and before that
as we'll. With the Sultan was his
brother, his prime minister and sec
retary, as interpreter. 1t was known
that the Sultan is trying to get his
views before President Coolidge and
this formed the first topic of conver-
sation.
II am firmly against independence
for the Philippine Islands, as is well
known" he stated emphatically. The
Sultan has a way of holding up two
fingers of his right hand to drive home
a point. He wore his fez. but other
wise was in American clothes. "Ameri-
can sovereignty has been a good thing
for the islands and should be con-
tinued,' he added.
Discusses His Personal Plea.
Asked what he thought would be
more satisfactory relation between
himself and the American regime, the
Sultan declared that he was unduly
restricted as to authority in his own
islands. At present, he said. he is
limited virtually to questions of re-
ligious nature. The people in his
jurisdiction are Mohammedans, where
as, in the northern half Of the Philip
pines, most Filipinos who are reli-
goous are Christians.
What the Sultan wants is larger
measure of power in domestic issues.
He observes the better position held by
Sultans under British sovereignty in
the Malay States. For instance, the
Sultan of Johore controls a state next
to Singapore. While the British keep
essential authority over him, he is
enormously wealthy and splurgeE
around in true Oriental splendor, with
considerable outward show of power.
The Sultan Of Sulu has no extrava-
CANT ambitions in the same line, but
he feels that his ancient ruling house
is entitled to more latitude than the
American Government has given him
hitherto. Being republic, the United
States does not encourage pomp and
ceremony, gold braid and decorations.
Evening star., 1927-07-16

Winter introduced a bill broadly to
this effect. 1t is in Mindanao that rub
ber could be grown on mammoth
scale, IL the land laws of the Philip
pines are made such as to attract
large capital. The limit now is $500
acres to any one corporation. The big
rubber interests would want a million
acres or more.
In the Sultan's opinion. Quezon and
Osmena do not really represent the
Filipino element, since both men are
of mixed blood, QueZon being largely
Spanish and Osmena largely Chinese.
The independence cry is not, there
fore, strictly a Filipino aspiration, the
Sultan concludes, and, whether or not
generally shared by the Filipino peo-
pie, he does not believe it safe or
desirable thing for the islands.
A stronger nation would step in as
master the moment the United States
steps out, the Sultan asserted. He
has seen the Spaniard ousted and
after nearly 80 years of American
sovereignty, is completely sold in
favor of the latter. His plea for Il
little more power. he contends, is not
for power of the kind that Quezon
obtained under the governorship of
Harrison at Manila, Il power that re-
suited in much backward progress
for the islands, but rather for local
| authority of a king that he does not
believe would be inimical to full
American supervision.
Prospective Visi. to L. S.
If the Sultan visits the United
States he will nos bring large
retinue. He declared he did not want
to be bothered with a numerous staff
The time of the visit is not even ap-
proXimately set, but might be made
next year. He was deeply interested
in Gov. Gen. Woods departure for
the United States. He is a good
| man." the Sultan said decisively
Naturally, the Sultan will be inter-
ested in any change in the governor
ship that may come.
In 1910, during the Taft admins
tration, the Sultan was in the United
States. Previous to that he is well
remembered during the visit of Alice
Roosevelt to the Philippine Islands, q
trip during which. 1t is recorded, she
became engaged to Nicholas Long
worth. The Sultan admired Miss
Roosevelt and he recalls her visit to
the islands with pleasure. That She
should continue to grow in political
