Beverly Eills-Well all I know
is just what I read in the papers,
or what I hear between times that
1 am not Cabling myself (which
amt often). Couple of weeks ago
Pat Hurley, Secretary Of War in
these peace times in Mr.. Hoovers
Cabinet, well, Pat had been away
over in the Philippines. Rumors
had reached the President that the
Little Brown Brothers" was just
about ready to leave our Bed and
Board and take up citizenship else
where. They had heard Of advant-
ages of the Independence, but evil
IDENTIFY very little of it's drawbacks.
So Mr.. Hoover looked over his eight
or nine hired men in the Cabinet,
and he choose Pat. He knew that
Pat was a man that no matter what
argument the Little Brunette
Brothers" put up why Pat would
have an answer to EN-. So he says
to Pat:
pat along with 876 other diff
culties am having, why the Phil
ippines are perspiring to Independ-
ence. Will you go over there and
see if its Bolsheviki propaganda, or
just Democratic influence. You
know its hard to tell nowadays
which causes me the most devil
ment, the Russians or the Demo-
Gratis.
"Now listen; here is some instruc-
tions:( If they really want their In
dependence, why about the best
way know to get even with EN-
would be to give it to EN-. But
don't do it too quick, for that would
make EN- think maybe we didn't
want EN-, and they are very sem
sitive people. You know every peo-
pie you deal with are always sem
sitive, so you musent hurt their
feelings. In Diplomacy, the way
they work it they always are care
full to not hurt anybodys feelings
but they own people, but you go
over there and kinder nose around,
and see whats eating on our In
sular Possession. Bring me back
report, for one more report added
to the 623 that arrive back to me
daily from my commissions, won't
be much more, but you can give
me yours verbally. Don't come
dragging in here with it like Wick
ersham in a truck. I like you Pat,
and you kinder my head man, so If
you can't give EN- their freedom,
why at least refuse in such way
that you arrive back here with the
report. Kinder look China and
Japan over while you are there, and
see If you can find out who's bait
ing the trap every morning"
Well Pat went and he saw, and I
met him when he come back, he
was just oozing Philippine Islands.
He flew from one end Of EN- to an
other, he talked with everybody
that could talk, and those that
couldent why he talked to them. He
told EN- that the Great White Faith
er had sent him over to see If they
was as bad off as we were. They
all nodded and said, "Uh. Uh, Yes"
He says, "Well I doubt it." He
says, 1--WE want to give you indie
pendence."
Mckinley said, I'VE lost to Spain
and had to take you" Roosevelt
said, "Aguinaldo, we are here! and
think you should have freedom,
but not under my administration"
Taft said, "Ha! Ha! lets all have a
good laugh, and we will set you
free, soon as the Democrats get in"
Wilson said, 1--WE promised EN- their
independence, and I will see that
the next President gives it to en-"
Harding said, cit wont be long
now" Coolidge said, LET Hoover
do it." Hoover says, eff the other
