ENGLISH SUPERSEDES
SPANISH IN MANILA
Stimson Asks That Nominees
tor judiciary Must Have
knowledge Of English

Manila-(R-The Spanish language
Is giving ground to English despite
the efforts Of older F1lipinoe to keep
Spanish alive.
The latest indication Of this was
contained In q communication from
Governor General Stimson to the sec-
retary Of justice In which the execu.
tive advised the secretary that nomi-
nees for the judiciary must have ct
least . working knowledge Of the
English language.
The order was In line with the
administration's policy Of encourag-
Ing the adoption Of English as the
sole Official language Of the country
q soon Is possible. This policy, in
turn. was prompted by the fact that
most Of the younger Filipinos speak
English. but have . slight knowledge,
or none at Ill. Of Spanish.
At present, both Spanish and Eng.
lish are the official languages OF the
Philippines. The last legislature
passed . bill extending Spanish as
one OF the official languages Of the
insular courts until 1910. The meas
ure was vigorously protested by
young Filipino lawyers who asserted
that some judges, by insisting that
the proceedings Of their courts be
conducted In Spanish. worked an un.
