Duty in the Philippines

N0A0ADA GVNA = A0&0I
The United States did not take possession Of the
Philippines for the purpose OF exploiting their tnhahit-
ants or deprtvtng them Of their property. We acquired
the islands by conquest. We paid Spain $20,O0OyO0O, not
Tor the transfer Of her sovereignty, but as compensation
for public works which she had established, and for
winch we were willing to make reasonable settlement.
We have no particular use for the islands. but 1t was the
fortune Of war that Spain should be dispossessed and
We must take charge or permit some other power to do
50. There was no other power that had claim or to
which We could turn over the territory with safety to
ourselves.
In acquiring the Philippines the United States be-
came 9 colonial power. Until recently there have been
no definite rules governing the conduct Of the controll-
ing power toward the colony. It has been common ex-
perience Tor colonies to be exploited for the benefit Of
the governing nation. That experience on this continent
resulted IN the Revolutionary war ana the creation Of
the United States. A different spirit has developed. and
1t rs now accepted that the governing nation has certain
obligations toward its colonies. We have such OBLIGATIONS
with reference to the Philippines. We are bound to carry
out the purpose with which the islands were acquired.
which WAS that our administration should be fair and
Just. and that 1t SHOULD be conducted in & manner which
would promote the welfare Of the inhabitants.
There are important commercial considerations in
VOWED ~ our control Of the Philippines. But there are
also considerations Of morality and equity which We are
bound TO regard. We can neither abandon the Philip
pines nor, retaining them, impose on them economic
condltions o. an oppressive nature. Our obligations may
require us 70 follow certain policies which cost US money.

Editorial Comment
Sees Libel in Winter Flight
Minneapolis Tribune)

The decoration Of the barbed wire suspenders should
be promptly awarded to whoever was responsible for
naming the airplsne squadron engaged in a winter test
flight from Selfridge field, Mich, to Spokane, Washing
tol, the Arctic patrol.
The name, together with the experience in the flight,
is an unfortunate if not premeditated libel on Northwest
winter weather in every state traversed by the flight.
The army flight. Of course, made no record. That
was not its purpose. The ships participating were con-
sidered as a unit and ~navigated in formation. The tests
were intended to establish the merits of machine guns,
motors. flying clothes. mittens, goggles and army equip
mert issues.
AS a matter of fact the greatest obstacle encountered
was lack Of snow. Save for an unreasonable period of
sub-zero temperature at Minot, North Dakota, and Great
Falls. Mont, the flyers encountered no severe winter
weather. The last leg Of their journey over the passes Of
the continental divide was at some altitude and nego-
tiated in cold weather, but in Spokane a frenzied COM
mittee was engaged several days in a search for a land
Ing field that would afford snow. finally gave it up and
selected q small lake sealed by ice, quite remote from
the city as the Only place available.
Commercial flyers frequently negotiate the same air
route traversed by the army planes in weather more
severe with little Of vcissitude in cabin planes. They
have no ~handicaps of open ski-equipped planes or flight
information orders.
It is altogether probable that If the planes had lin
yered a few days longer in either Great Falls or Minot
the gentle winter chinooks of that region would have
neccssitated change Of the ski-equipment to the reeula-
ton motor-type ground gear. Low ceiling in the con-
tinental divide country, not frigid sub-zero weather. was
the greatest obstacle the aviators faced. Yet the pub
Lefty attending the maneuver was done in an epic vein
quite worthy Of the retreat from Moscow.
The Northwest is not touchy about its winter wealth
er. In fact it likes it and is ready to have the world
know the whole truth about it. But it is still q fact that
the Arctic circle is at least $500 miles north Of the
farthest northern point touched by the army,s> Arctic
patrol. which should be sufficient proof that the expe-
dition was c~hristened with more regard for melodramat-
ic appeal than with any idea Of conveying the fact that
It's course lay through q land where winter is mild. where
cattle winter on the open range and where the gentle
chinook end lazy winter sunshine are the rule during the
greater part Of the so-called winter season.

Ben Eielson

Ben Eielson was one of the galaxy OF flyers among
~hom are numbered the Wrights, Colonel Lindbergh ana
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd. All have outstanding
feats in the navigation of the air to their credit. Inc
Wrights solved the problem OF heavier-than-air aeronau-
tics. Lindbergh achieved a feat of dramatic brilliancy in
his nonstop dash across the Atlantic to Paris and cap
tured the imagination OF the world with the daring per-
Torrance. Byrd has two polar flights to his credit and
now is engaged in the greatest explorative project the
world has ever known, in his ship and plane conquest OF
the Antarctic region around the South pole.
Eie.son acquired the right Of being regarded as one OF
theoe outstanding group OF aviators by his flight across
the ROOF of the world with Sir George Hubert Wilkins IN
April. 1928, from Point Barrow, Alaska. to Svalbard
radio station near SDtE5ergcn. The adventure was
pioneer work Of this kind in the arctic. The Hatton,
North Dakota, flyer had been in the northern regions
since 1922, preparing for the achievement, and this prep
araticn, in iself, was OF a character to confer distinc-
ton on him.
Later he resumed the work of organizing Alaskan avia-
ton. Before making the epochal flight over the polar
area. he had conducted flying in the territory and now
he resuncd the task Of making commercial flight an Or
gained and practical possibility.
That he was a pilot OF planetary magnitude among the
stars of the science was attested by the honors he drew
upon himself. The Harmon trophy for the most out
standing achievement in aviation went to him in 1928
and was based on his t~ranspolar flight with wilkins.
He also received the distinguished flying cross and the
ia "a NS0o AAA@AA104 HoAASSs A"6AoA1AS ~
many, Denmark and Norway so appraised his accom-
plishments in the air that they conferred medals OF
merit on him.
Like Byrd, the young Dakotan was no. only distinguish
ing himself as a flyer. but he was emula.ing also his fell
low Dakotan, VlhjalmaT StefansSon, and that other rug
ged figure OF northern exploration, Road Amundsen, like
wise borne so tragically by plane out Of the bourne OF the
living into that envsloping realm Of rystery-the icy
Nortt-in which men can vanish from human ken like
Henry Hudson, set adrift amid nutiny on the bay which
bears his name, never to be heard from again. Had not
this tragedy. which seems OF a certainty to have cost
him his life, befalen Eielson, there is no telling to what
dimensions Of heroic achievement in Arctic exploration
he might have attained.
He was an intrepid figure in the horrors OF the World
war, a bold venturer in the conquest Of the air and a
rugged challenger Of the snow-and- ice bound polar rigors
"a chevalier Of adventure in every sense as science has

History's Great Example Of Chance

History's Great Example Of Chance
America has q good many national heroes, whose names
and deeds arc familiar to every school boy. It has only
one national villain Of any consequence; and while his
infamy is a matter Of everyday knowledge. it is not often
realized that with a little different break in the luck he
would be numbered today among the heroes.
The villain. OF course. is Benedict Arnold: and tbs
queer trick that fate played on him IS brought to mind BY
Kenneth Roberts recent novel. Arundel" Of which
Arnold is one Of the leading figures.
The book tells Of Arnolds gallant. almost successful
effort to capture Quebec in the winter after Bunker Hill
The episode is worth retclling. Arnold earned the
ignominy that finally came to him, but before that he
earned his countrys gratitude; and it is interesting 70
speculate on what his destiny might have been If fate
had been just a little kinder to him.
1t was in the fall Of the year when Arnold set out 10
take Quebec. He had with him about 1000 men, the bulk
OF them poorly-trained militia. His supplies we're sadly
inadequate and the difficulties that faced him were over
whelming. He had to lead these 1000 half drilled SOL
and through dangerous mountain passes to the st. Law
renee rivera journey Of some 500 miles through a coln-
try that had no roads and no inhabitants.
Those who planned the trip for him furnished him
with clumsy flatboats to carry his supplies. Rapids in the
river wrecked these, and by mid November he and his
army found themselves in the mountains, their food gone,
all medicines spoiled and winter coming on. One whole
DIVISION OF the army QeSeTLe0 IN q DO0y ana went NOME.
Those who remained were half starved and in rags. Sick
ness struck them hard. Their powder was ruined by
water.
But Arnold, by dint of his own courage and magnetism
got them through and reached Quebec with 600 tattered
and weary soldiers. after one OF the most amazing march
es in military history. Then he hit Quebec like a thun-
derbolt-and If he had not been severely wounded at the
outset Of the fighting, he very probably would have cap.
cured the place.
Consider the different course affairs would have taken
If that British bullet had missed Benedict Arnold that
day! Quebec would have fallen. ALI Of Canada would
have passed out Of Englands hands. American independ-
ence would have been gained five or six years ahead of
time. And Benedict Arnold, today, would be listed as one
of our greatest heroes.
Chance plays a bigger part In human affairs than We
like to admit. 1t was cruel to Benedict Arnold. What a
pity that that British bullet could not have missed him
killed him outright!
