The Spokane woman. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1921-1935, 1929-08-08

The itinerant Caucasion traveller responding to
the urge to write usually depicts the Philippine
Islands as a group of languid and romantic trop
ical isles inhabated principally by dusky maidens
in a setting of coconut palms. To Il. a. FER

is visiting in Spokane after than twenty years
residence in the islands they present quite dif-

Women Hold Purse Strings; Make

of Manila tells us that they have the finest pier
in the world there, one large enough to dock at
one time four of the worlds largest ships, built
of steel and concrete throughout. doubledecked and
equipped with all the latest electrical devices to
handle passengers and cargo efficiently and ex
peditously. Mr. Perkins tells us there are nearly
10000 motor vehicles of all kinds in Manila and
the nearby provinces; and that the city is well
servced by trolley lines reaching out in all direc-
tons.
Asked about the women of the Philippines, MIR.
Perkins said: Much of what the Filipino is today
he to his womenfolk. While the legislature
has not seen fit as yet to grant them suffrage, they
yet exercise such strong influence in the home
life of the average Filipino as to exert an indirect
influence for good For generations they have held
the family purse-strings and the man has been bet
ter for ii. They are fore-sghted, thrifty and IN
dustrious they lead Christian lives and devote
themselves to their families. The health work OF
the Rockefeller Foundation. the establishment oil
puriculture centers throughout the islands. the
general educational facilities offered equally to
boys and girls all have tended to raise the stand
ards of living and women seem to be in the fore
ranks in taking advantage of these new oppor-
tunities."
Speaking of the life there Mr. Perkins said: we
live much as you do. but rather more sensiby. We
have not yet adopted the pajama costume which
vain efforts are being made to introduce IN
America. but do dress in thin comfortable white
clothing all the year round and do not suffer from
the heat nearly much the men do here on

correspondent Of the New York Times,

T. Wang on July 3, has been appointed
the chief Times correspondent in China.
with headquarters at Shanghai, accord
ing to Reuters dispatch from PeipinC
today.
The Chinese foreign minister, in ask
ing for Attends deportation. lodged
protest with the American legation at
Peiping, alleging that Abend had re-
peatedly insulted the national govern
ment and high government officials in
his news articles. He pointed to sper
cific clippings from Attends correspond
ence during the last eight month
which showed. he declared, malicious
intent unfairly and unjustly to dis"
credit and ridicule the national gov
eminent
Mr.. wang justified his action by re-
ferring to the American expulsion OF
French Tory-sympathiZing journalists
during the. Revolution. and also 20 the
expulsion Of DR.. Gilbert Reid from
sition to the war with Germany. In
a statement made today, Mr.. Wang
defended his position as follows:
"Abend has insulted the National
government and deserves appropriate
punishment. 1t is quite obvious that
a foreign correspondent in China should
not slanderously attack the Chinese
government In taking action against
him, we are not abridging in any way
the right of free press. Newspaper men
are free to criticize the government, but
they must refrain from slandering it.
Suppose Chinese journalist In a
foreign country should wage cam
paign Of vituperation against the gov
eminent of his domicile State-what
would the consequences be?"
The American legation has refused
TO take action against Abend unless
charges are preferred against him
through the American consular court.
Visiting American journalists. speaking
In Tientsin and Shanghai at official
functions. have stressed the importance
of China's respecting the freedom OF the
press, referring TO the Abend case and
also to the recent banning of "the North
China Daily News" from the mails be-
cause of its alleged anti-government
policy.

GERMANS WIN
TILT ON RULE
OF RHINELAND
Jurists Abandon Brands
Demand for Board of
Control.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

THE HAGUE, Aug. 19.-Germany
won its first victory today in its
fight against board of control for
the Rhineland after the projected
evacuation by allied troops.
While the financial experts of
France, Italy, Belgium and Japan
met with the experts of Great Brit
ain to estimate the advantages Brit
ain receives under the Young plan,
and to fix the value of the four
power offers to date to satisfy Great
Britain's demands, the jurists were
meeting with the subject of the
Rhineland evacuation in the fore
ground.
The jurists reported they we're
abandoning the project of Aristide
BRAND, premier of France, for a
board of Rhineland control after the
withdrawal of troops.
Instead of this they will endow
the existing condition commissions
created by the Locarno treaties with
the right of investigation of COM
plants about the Rhineland after
the withdrawal of the armies of &C
cupation.
The meeting of the financial ex-
perts today is an outgrowth of the
agreement Saturday evening of
Philip Snowden, British chancellor
of the exchequer, that such a pro-
cedure should be followed. He re-
quested that the task be complete
ly as possible.
