 Keep Philippines

~~NNo Himself emphatically opposed |, the granting of immediate in dependence to the Phillippin' Islands. He considers that th> question merits much further study.
 Independence of the Phillip pines at some time has been di- rectly or indirectly promised by every President and by the Con- gress," the President said in 2 statement to the press.
 Tn accordance with the un- dertaking, the promise is one of time.
 Tn the interest of the Phillip lpine people the time element in wolves the necessity that inde pendence must be assured of stability. For instance, the eco- homie independence of h e Philippines must be obtained before political independence can be successful.
 Independence tomorrow with cut their economic stability will result in the collapse of the Philippine revenues and collapse of all economic life in the is lands. We propose to give further consideration to the whole ques- tion in the immediate future
 This statement was issued after conference with Secretary of War Hurley, who has just re- turned to Washington after an extended journey through the Philippine Islands. MT. Hurley is preparing a report to the White House; and presumably gave an oral summary of what that report will be at his confer ence with the President.
 President Manuel Quezon of the Philippine Senate, has re- gently gone back to the islands after IA months spent in the United States. While here, he suggested two ways of meeting the Filipino demand for inde- pendence while avoiding most Of the trade difficulties that are raised as arguments against that course. There are:
 1. Immediate independence for the Philippines with free trade with the United States for 10 years, but sharp limitation on the amount of exports that the islands can send to this country.
 2. Broader self-governmenJ under American control for 10 years, and a plebiscite on inde- pendence at the end of that time.
 A strong group in Congress, including members of both Houses, is in favor of cutting loose from the islands. Some have declared that in the forth coming session of Congress they will introduce or back a plan for immediate independence. The beet growers want relief from the competition of Philippine sugar. Other agricultural sec tions would bar copra and CO., coanut oil from the islands. The western states would bar Filipino immigration. Other interests iI opposition see possibilities in tht development of certain Philip pine industries for which thet wish Uncle Sam's protection The president expects to trans Init his views on the question tt Congress and the prospect of thorough debate seems excellent
