Veterans Loyal

And throughout the admins
tration of Leonard Wood as
Governor General of the Philip
pines, General Aguinaldo and
his veterans were among Cen
eral Woods strongest support
ers and most effective aides.
The good faith of the United
States in dealing with the
Philippines, as exemplified by
Governor General Woods ad-
ministration, convinced the
Filipino Veterans Association
that it was the unchanging in
tention of the Government at
washington to give the Philip
pine people complete autonomy
as rapidly as they showed them
selves qualified to accept this
responsibility.
Having obtained complete
autonomy, General Aguinaldo
and his comrades looked for
ward to the time when a rela-
tionship could be devised be-
tween the United States and the
Philippine Islands that would
not only satisfy the aspirations
of the Philippine people for the
future but safeguard their
freedom and the interests of
the United States in the Far
East,

Sugar Lobby

BY the terms of this dis
honest measure which was
framed in large part by the
lobbyists of sugar interests in
Cuba, continental United States
and the Hawaiian Islands aided
by several other special in
terests the Philippine people
must within two years accept or
reject the law.
If they accept it they must
then submit themselves to tariff
limitation that will steadily de-
stroy their economic develop
merit and finally leave them
alone in the world without mar
kets, without means of main
tanning their government, and
without any effective protec-
tion against seizure by Japan
or any other foreign power that
elects to gobble them up.
Rather than supinely submit
to such a cruel and ignoble
fate, General Aguinaldo and his
comrades are appealing to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the Ameri-
can Congress for a new deal"
If the United States is deter.
mined to betray and desert the
Philippines, the people of those
islands insist that they be given
complete separation from the
United States "as soon as an
order of transfer of sovereignty
can be made"
They also ask for an immediate
increase in Philippine autonomy
for tariff reciprocity, and for
the negotiation of a treaty Of
naturalization and security be-
fore they are deprived of the
protection of American sover-
eighty.
The question which these
resolutions will put squarely be-
fore the Roosevelt administra-
tion is whether American honor
is not dearer to the American
people than is the support Of
the Sugar Trust under this or
any other Administration.

Emergency Legislation
Is the District Helpless?

The city of Washington face face with the battling prob
lem Of whether will be wet dry when the nation sheds
the Eighteenth Amendment, probably in December.
The question hinges around the point Of whether the Vol
stead Act which will become dead letter with repeal Of the
amendment will continue force the National Capital
It would the ayman that such should be the
case many eminent lawyers maintain that under Supreme
Court rulings the Voead law would remain applicable the

is held that the Voead Act ceases to apply in the DIS
trc after repeal there will probably be month during which
the liquor traffic will run in the National Capital
This would be an inoerabe condition. yet could very
easiy arise
The Times warned Of this possibility than month ago
when the onward sweep of repeal could not be gansad
Yet nothing done about it because nothing could be done
about it.
Facing such condition the people are absolutely help
less and so is the constituted government.
The immnence this condition naturally raises the question
Of how helpless local authorities would be in other
gens which might require speedy and effective legislation
When such legislation is required during Of Con-
gress there is way in which it can be obtained.
Yet there might easily arise conditions which would necss
tate the of law for the protection Of the peace

has shown in the past that it is unwilling to surrender its
power the Federal City and sound arguments be ad
vanced as to why it should not do
This not meant any sense to be appeal to Congress
to divest itself Of its authority.
Nevertheless the situation which looming the control
Of liquor here during the interim between repeal and the
convenng Of Congress prompts the thought that Congress- upon
aournng for lengthy periods should not leave the local
ernmsnt helpless.
Without surenderng Of its the city Congress
might well delegate the District Commissioners the authority
to enact emergency legislation which would be applicable only
until Congress ITSELF upon reconvenng, might egislate
Such plan would still leave Congress in supreme control
over the seat Of government
AS Of handling emergency such proposal would
not infringe upon the rights of Congress-
The delegation Of authority would be purely for emergency
purposes and any acts accomplished under the authority would
be subject of rejection approval by Congress later.
This is serious and pressing matter which should be
sidered by all Of citizens and by the Congress.

Curious History

And while the American lady
sat entranced in her carriage
half troop Of cavalry came to-
ward her at a quick trot-lean,
brown men on coal-black horses,
all gay and glowing with bril-
liant trappings. And in a gleam-
Ing carriage, very upright and
a1oof, under a silken parasol,
was a raven-haired, dark-eyed,
olive-skinned lady that the
American traveller knew as
surely as she knew her own
name.
The lady in the carriage was
Opal Whiteley, an American girl
with a curious history, who had
disappeared 10 years previously,
and Of whom little but the
vaguest report had ever been
heard since. Discreetly the trav.
eler made inquiry and learned
that the naughty lady in the
carriage, escorted by the house
cavalry Of His Royal Highness
the Maharana Of Udaipur, the
highest ranking prince in all
proud Rajputana, was a dweller
in the palace and a near rela-
tion Of the Maharana.
And that was all the traveller
could learn. But her mind
flashed back through the years
to the time when Ellery Sedg-
wick, editor Of the Atlantic
Monthly, sprang a literary SEN
sation by publishing the diary
of a child Of 9-the diary of
Opal Whiteley.
And the American lady who
had been so amazed at the bril-
liant apparition in the streets
Of Udaipur recalled other odd
things that she had heard

In the sacrosanct files Of thu

secret I would give something
to penetrate. It must be there,
that secret, for one of the
greatest Secretaries of State
we have ever had signed his

which had to do with the mys-
terry. But it has gathered dust
in the files, no doubt, and is
apt to stay there.
Only a curious incident Of
just the other day revived rec
election that secret there was.
An American lady who was
travelling in India came to the
native state Of Udaipur. There
she paused in her journey, for

hills. It's snow-white palaces

Indian Princess

And eventually the tale got
about that the strange, gifted
child and woman, Opal White
ley, was actually the daughter
of a scion of the noble French
line of Orleans and Artois, OF
royal blood, and Of his wife, a
daughter of the Maharana Of
Udaipur.
DR.. Rushford Williams, for
eign minister for His Highness
the Maharajah Of Patiala, also
a native state Of Rajputana.
told this writer two years ago
that young American lady was
actually residing at the Udaipur
royal palace, evidently mem
ber of the royal family. And
to this writer, also, Editor Sedg-
wick, of the Atlantic Monthly,
contributed this extraordinary
scrap Of information regarding
the mysterious Opal:
"She sent me from London a
long account Of her trip to
India, where she has gone to
follow in the footsteps Of her
supposed father, Prince Henri
d'OrleanS. To SubStantiate her
story, she sent me many photo
graphs, but wishing to place
the matter beyond peradven-
ture, 1 wrote to several mahara-
jahs, and from the secretaries
of at least two courts / got
formal assurances of the cor
rectnesS of her story.
"Opal never told me under
what auspices she went, but l

rate, she was everywhere ac-
Cepted as an authentic princess,
and I received several letters

had been shown signal favor in
accompanying one maharajah,
at least, on a tiger hunt, and
with all the trappings apprO-

FilipinOS Ask President
For New Deal
BY James T. Williams, u

President Roosevelt will soon
receive from Manila a set Of
resolutions which may well give
the Administration and the
American people cause for grave
deliberation.
These resolutions denounce
and reject as an act of bad
faith on the part of the United
States the Hare-Hawes- Cutting
bill which the Seventy-second
Congress passed over the Presi-
dents veto at the instigation
of the allied lobbyists of the
so-called Sugar Trust.
These resolutions have just
been adopted by the Filipino
Veterans Association under the
leadership of General Emilio
Aguinaldo, the Philippine pa
triot who led his people in their
uprising against Spanish domi-
nation 80 years ago. The mem
bers of this association include
practically all surviving insur-
rectionists who fought for free
dom under General Aguinaldo
at that time and later opposed
the transfer of the islands to
the sovereignty of the United
States.
In the years that followed,
the altruistic policy of the
United States in helping the
Philippine people in their ef-
forts to learn the principles of
self government won the 10y
atty and support of General
Aguinaldo and his comrades.
