DUTY ON IMPORTS
FROM PHILIPPINES
Declare Islands Are
Part of u. S.

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The
Ways and Means Committee of the
House of Representatives is hearing
arguments for and against limiting
some and taxing other imports from
the Philippine Islands, at present
6uty-free.
The chairman of the committee,
Hawley of Oregon, stated that the
purpose of the committee was to
get an answer to three questions:
81. Has congress the power to
levy a duty on imports from the
Philippines and, if so, should it ex-
ereise that power?
''2. Has congress the power to
limit the volume of duty-free i'm
ports form the islands and, if so,
should it do so?
SO. Should a duty be levied on
economic grounds ?"
Cocoanuts Versus Cows.
Charles w, Holman, lobbyist for
the National Cooperative Milk Pro-
ducers Association, an organization
Of capitalist farmers, demanded that
a tariff be laid on imports from the
Philippines of cocoanut oil and
copra (dried cocoanut). With cocoa
nut oil from the island free of duty,
and with Philippine production by
1880 estimated to be 1,000,000,000
pounds yearly, he complained that
competition with cotton seed oil and
American farm butter-fat would
ruin the latter.
Newton w. Gilbert of New York.
spoke for the Philippine American
Chamber of Commerce for continu-
ance of free entry into U. S. of
Filipino products, declaring that "for
80 years we have led the Filipino
people to Relieve that we are going
to help them attain economic devel-
opment. This talk about restoring
duties and restrictions already has
made capital, American and native,
in the island, hesitant."
General Mcintyre of the Philip
pine Trade Commissioner, holding
for free trade, declared that the SUI
preme court recently ruled that the
Philippines "still is in the United
States" and pointed out that con-
gress "has more power over those
islands than over an American state
