Endorsement by Legislature
of Islands Now Necessary
to Accomplish Aims of the
HaWes- Cutting Act.
CONFLICT DEVELOPS
AS TO SENTIMENT THERE
Complete Autonomy for Pacific
Possessions, With intermediate
Period of Political and Economic
Training for Residents, Is Pre-
seribed.

BY a vote of 66 to 26 the Senate
today overrode President Hoover's
veto of the Philippine independ-
ence bill. The vote was five more
than the necessary two-thirds.
This puts the final seal of ap-
proval of Congress on the indie
pendence of the Philippine Is
lands. The House last week by
an overwhelming vote passed the
bill Notwithstanding the disap-
proval of the President.
1t becomes now the duty Of the
Philippine Legislature to provide
for the election of delegates to a
constitutional convention to draft
a. constitution for the government
of the islands.
Just before the vote was taken In the
Senate, Senator Bingham OF Connectl-
cut. chairman of the Committee on
Territories and Insular Possessions, told
the Senate that a report from the
Philippines to the effect caucus OF the
Lower House had gone on record IN
opposition to this bill being wrongly
INTERPRETED here He said that the cau-
Gus probably contained less than one
half of the members of the Lower
House and also that its opposition was
cue not to the reasons given by the
President in his veto, but to the fact
that the independence bill does not
grant immediate independence to the
islands.
