Philippine independence Bill
Is Legislative MOnstrOSity
By James T. Williams, Jr.

promise appears in the Treaty
of Paris, under which SOW
ereignty over the Philippine
Islands was transferred from
Spain to the United States,
And as Mr.. Taft once said,
no more definite governmental
policy can be declared than
was declared by President Nc
Kinley in his instructions to
Secretary Root for the guild
ance of the Philippine Com
mission. This policy was in
corporated into law by the
organic act Of the Philippine
government, adopted July /,
1902. The policy thus declared
was the extension of self-gov-
ernment to the Philippine Is
lands by gradual steps from
time to time as the people Of
the island shall show them
selves fit to receive the addi-
tional responsibilities.
False Pretenses
The second Of these false
pretenses was the contention
that the fake independence bill
which has just become law
discharges an obligation inn
posed upon the Congress by the
preamble to the Jones law,
under which the insular gov
ernment Of the Philippines has
been administered since 1916.
Speaking in the Senate on
August Is, 1916, on this very
question, Senator Borah said:
"This declaration in the pre-
0mbLe means nothing more than
a declaration in foUor of the
training of the Philippine peo-
pie to government 1t gives
no additional promise. 1t gives
them nothing which insures in.
dependence. Let us be candid,
and, 0bOUe all, let us cease de-
ceiVing these dependent pco-
ple."
BY the enactment of these
two fake independence bills
within the last two years, Con-
gress persists in disregarding
the wise counsel of Senator
Borah given nearly 18 years
ago.
Last but not least among
these false pretenses is the con-
tention of the sponsors Of the
Tydings-McDuffie act that it
extends unconditional and COM
plete national independence to
the Philippine people. It does
nothing Of the kind and there
is no constitutional authority
under which one Congress can
bind another Congress to be
convened in an indefinite date
in the future.
What this legislative mon
Strosity really does and leaves
undone is a revelation that
must be reserved for another
day.

most threw me off at the very
start. Voyages to mythical
kingdoms with funny names,
hell-bent for satire. usually
turn out to be pretty stodgy
reading.
And I do not mean to say
y that, once took the book up,
I couldn't lay it down again.
I had it up and down, up and
down, possibly Is times. But
in these little-publicized voyages
Of Lemuel Gulliver there is
certainly ten times the stuff
that there is in his Iilliput
and Brobdingnag junkets, and
ten times more applicable to
what are known as "our pres
ent-day problems" In fact, I
think the old boy almost had
second sight.
Now, I have no editorial COM
ment to make on what is hap
pening today in official or
scientific circles, having GER
tainly no better plans to Sug-
geSt, and being a more or less
placid subject for experimental
tion so long as they don't come
right into my house and drag
me out Of bed.
But I will give a free tip to
such editorial writer's as are
looking for ammunition. that,
in the voyage to Balnibarbi,
there is a gold mine.
For example, on his trip
through Balnibarbi, Gulliver
noticed that, although people
seemed to be working very
hard in the fields and on ex-
cellent soil, nothing seemed to
be growing, and that, in spite
of great activity in the streets,
the houses were falling apart
and the people walked fast,
looked wild, their eyes fixed,
and we're generally IN rags"

against the Orthodox Jewish
law for a wife to appear in pub
lice without such covering. In
deed men might-men had
divorced wives who did it.
So Leah, like every other
modest Hebrew wife on Henry
Street, wore a sheitel. And the
shadow Of the ugly thing fell
over her wistful eyes, her sensi-
tive mouth-even, in some
strange way, over her spirit.
Not that Leah minded, or even
questioned, the sheitel itself.
Her mother and grandmother
had worn SheitelS, too. ALI de-
cent, old country wives had
worn them, putting aside their
youth with their wedding day,
and been content.
But Leach was not content.
What was the reason? She
couldn't have told. She only
knew that, here in America,
something was different. In
spite Of that great, splendid
New York. in spite Of the eX-
citing crowding and clamor Of
Henry Street. she was lonely;
she felt shut out. Why? Leach
didn't know.
But Lillian Wald-out Of the
wisdom Of her friendly, toler-
ant heart-knew. Though she
understood and respected the
desire for purity and family
dignity which lay behind the
orthodox law, she also saw
that the wearing of sheitels,
like many another old-world
custom, branded the wearer
as "queer" in this new country
=. built walls about her behind
which a sensitive heart agon-
lied in loneliness.
And so, while she sought to
preserve the spirit Of all the
religious laws and racial ira
ditionS which governmental
this melting pot" she set her
self, gently, to removing those
cruel walls which ignorance
and intolerance had built be-
tween human beings. And she
did this because she found in
it her own finest adventure.
Thirty years ago Lillian Wald
started her settlement house
in that spirit. She did not go

She did not feel that she was
doing Henry Street a favor for
which Henry Street should be
grovelingly grateful.
SHE WENT TO FIND LIFE

LIFE TO OTHERS -BELIEV-
ING THAT ALL HONEST LIFE

SPECTING THE OTHER FEL-
LOWS LIFE AS MUCH AS
SHE DID HER OWN.
So Lillian Wald met lonely
young Leah, and all the other
bewildered ones who had come
so far seeking a splendid, free
new home, only to find them
selves shut out. And she
TAUGHT THEM HOW TO
COME IN.
So presently Leah had taken
off her sheitel, and was learning
how to bathe and dress her baby
in modern ways. And there was
a pleasant house. with Rus

and herself. And because she has
done it with warm, personal

one Of the noblest things in
America today. Nor can you
really know your country unless
you know about that house on
Henry Street. So, if you're in
New York, go down and see it.
And if you can't do the next
best thing-read her book.
''W INDOWS ON HENRY

It isn't a literary document.
It's a friendly, rambling sort Of
talk about life in crowded city

STRANGE, s RICH, CON-

But when you've finished it,
you've heard about the biggest

Oklahoma only nine years ago
when he fell into bad company.
Arrested for a payroll robbery,
he spent several years in prison
and came out a confirmed GRIM
1nal. He became a flashy dresser,
learned to operate a machine
gun and became a wizard at
driving a motor car. He has
been known to speed through
traffic at 70 miles an hour with.

In December, 1881, he robbed

turned his machine gun on a
posse and shot down six of the

his head today, and hundreds Of

Bat Masterson
The most interesting Of the
lot, in the mind Of this writer,
was the bad man whom we had
the privilege to call friend
William Barclay MaSterson-
Bat Masterson, famous marshal
of Dodge City, Kan. Bat Mas
terSon was a bad man, only in
the sense that he was q bad
man for bad men to go up
against, for most Of his life
was spent on the side Of the
law, as an officer Of the law.
Gentle, soft-spoken, courteous,
extremely gallant to women, he
had about him that quality Of
proven steel which can never be
mistaken. And he knew not
what it was to make a boast or
brag.
When he was IS he ran away
from home to hunt with Buffalo
Bill. He was only 20 when a
noted gunman tried to steal
pot from him in a poker game.
Bat challenged him. They went
for their guns and when the
smoke cleared away, the gun
man had no use for the pot,
or anything else in this world.
At % he became marshal Of
the-then-toughest town in Amer
lea, Dodge City, at the head Of
the old cattle trail. Before he
retired to become deputy United
States marshal in New York, at
the invitation Of President
Theodore Roosevelt, he had
eliminated 81 men, every one
of whom badly needed killing.

Shakespeare.
In the name of Philippine
independence, the Congress of
the United States, for the Sec
ond time within two years, has
stopped to make an empty geS-
ture to all the world.
The so-called Philippine in
dependence bill which has just
become law is substantially the
same legislative monstrosity
which the last Congress passed
over a presidential veto.
The first of these legislative
fakes was called the Hare
Hawes-Cutting bill and was re-
jected by the Philippine Legis-
lature. The second is called
the Tydings-McDuffie bill and
extends until next october the
time in which the Philippine
Legislature may approve it.
The major difference be-
tween the two measures is that
the first left to future nego-
tiations between the future
Philippine Republic and the
United States the ultimate dis
position of both its military
and naval reservations in the
archipelago.
Cowardly Policy
In the bill which has just
become law. the United States
agrees to abandon all its mill
tary reservations on the same
indefinite date in the future
that this Congress attempts to
commit some future Congress
with the cowardly policy Of
scuttle and betrayal for which
the Tydings-McDuffie act pro-
Vides.
Both the Hare-Hawes- Cutting
bill and the Tydings-McDuffie
bill were lobbied through Con-
gress by a powerful coalition
Of special interests concerned
wholly with their own aggran-
dizement. This super-lobby was
organized and led by Ameri-
can investors in sugar proper
ties in Cuba and the United
States. Aiding and abetting
the sugar lobbyists were lobby
lists for a group of cordage
companies and several other
special interests.
The most melancholy aspect
of this empty gesture of the
Congress is the palpably false
pretenses under which these
two fake independence meas
ures have been enacted into
law.
The first Of these false pre-
lenses was the contention that
this legislation fulfilled the
promises made by the United
States to the Philippine people
and to the world when the
Philippine Islands were ac-
quired from Spain.

all of which, instead of being
discouraged, they are SO times
more violently bent upon prose

equally on by hope and despair.
I would not be in sympathy

used this sort of stuff for OBJ

Frozen Bank Deposits
The Mcleod Bill Will Thaw Them

Congress longer ignore the serious plight Of that
great body Of citizens who lost their all in the bank col
lapse Of last year.
The Mcleod one hundred per cent bank payoff bill de-
mands and should the immediate and favorable
sideration of both the Senate and the House.
THIS MEASURE, SIMPLE IN FORM AND SIMPLE IN
PURPOSE WOULD MARX AN ECONOMIC MILESTONE
IN AMERICAS TRAVELS TOWARDS RECOVERY.
WITHOUT ITS ENACTMENT THE RECOVERY CAN
NOT BE COMPLETE.
WITHOUT ITS ENACTMENT RECOVERY WILL BE
LARGELY A MoCKERY, FOR THE MOST UNFORTUNATE
VICTIMS OF THE DEPRESSION WILL CONTINUE TO
REMAIN THE VICTIMS
The Mcleod BILL upon which hearings being held
by the House Banking Currency Committee directs the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation to purchase the assets
Of closed national banks and banks which at the time OF
closing were members of the Federal Reserve System
The price which the RFC would pay would be enough to
pay off the deposit liability Of the banks completely
In other words the Government would pay the depostors
and would possession the of the closed banks
These which may be unmarketable will advance
in price country energies from the economic troubles
Of the few years Ultimately they will probably be worth
their face value.
Within ten years the Government could sell the assets ap
plying what obtained for them the cost Of Immediately
paying off the depositors
THE ULTIMATE COST TO THE GOVERNMENT UNDER
THE PLAN WOULD BE NEGLIGIBLE
IN THE MEANTIME THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE
PAID TO DESERVING GROUP OF OUR CITIZENS AP-
FORTUNATELY FIFTEEN THOUSAND MILLION DOLLARS.
THAT MONEY WOULD IMMEDIATELY ENTER THE
BUSINESS LIFE OF THE COUNTRY. IT WOULD sTIMU
LATE TRADE IMMEDIATELY. IT WOULD PUT INTO CIR
CULATIoN MILLIONS IN ACTUAL CURRENCY AND FIVE
OR TEN TIMES THAT AMOUNT IN CREDIT.
There is substantial why the Government
should undertake this step proposed by Representative Clarence
J. Mcleod, Of Michigan
In 1882 the Government carried vigorous campaign
against boarding urged its citizens to take their money out
Of hiding; to put into banks.
The citizens did this Loyalty and patriocaly answering the
appeal Of their President.
Then came the collapse of the banking structure.
The very citizens who patriotic enough respond the
Governments appeal mortaly stricken from economic
standpoint
It is only just that the Government should them
and say they shall be further punished but that the
Government will undertake to relieve them.

TIPS TO DIE-HARDS

Like many other holders Of
an A. B. degree, I suspect, my
working knowledge of the writ
ings Of Jonathan Swift has
been confined to a childhood
skimming through the first two
books of "Gulliver's Travels"
with special reference to the
more hearty of his experiences
with the Lilliputians and the
Brobdingnarians. My general
feeling, through the years, has
been that Mr.. Swift was not
so hot.
It was to verify this suspicion
that I went a little more deeply
