The memorial that is being
erected by the United States
government to the memory of
these early day frontiersmen
rapidly is being completed, and
will stand out the equal of like
memorials throughout the
country.
A committee of sixteen. headed
by the Most Reverend Joseph Elmer
Ritter, D. D., administrator of the
indianapolis diocese, as general
chairman, is at work on plans for
the centennial observance. A sew
enteenth member of the committee,
the Rt. Rev. F. X Unterreitmeier,
dean of the Evansville district, died
recently.
Church In Log Cabin
The highway commissions of In
diana and Illinois recently COM
pleted a beautiful memorial bridge,
the Indiana approach being placed
upon the immediate ground Of Fort
Sackville.
The gigantic sidewalks of the ap-
proach bear the story of the cap
ture of the Northwest territory,
carved into stone, for future genera
tons to read. The national gov
eminent has purchased and RACED
numerous business buildings, and
landscape artists are now at work
landscaping this space.
The Vincennes diocese was Great
ed on May 6, 1894, by Pope Gregory
XVI by the appointment of the
Right Rev. Gabriel Brute, D. D., of
France, as the first bishop. 1t later
became the Indianapolis diocese.
At the time of Bishop Brute's
coming to Vincennes, the walls and
roof of the present church building
of the Old Cathedral, now known
as the church of st. Xavier, already
we're completed. This beautifully
proportioned edifice had been pre-
coded by two log structures in the
same location, the plot Of ground
having been conSecrated to religious
service from the first coming OF
white men into the new country.
Preceding Bishop Brute are re-
corded a long line of priests and
missionaries, whose remaining re-
ports of marriages, christenings and
other activities afford a most inter-
esting insight into the life of the
times. To one of this number, the
Rev. Pierre Gibault, was given the
responsibility Of helping decide the
destiny of the nation, and because
of his actions, the space enclosed
within those old cathedral walls
must always be regarded as doubly
hallowed by every patriotic Amer
lean.
Fort Surrender Arranged
Father Gibault was the priest in
charge of Vincennes during the
most critical period of American
history. An official report, made in
1778 by the British authorities in
Canada, singles out this Revolution
arv patriot. describing him as the
most learned, influential and dan
gerous enemy to British interests OF
any man that has appeared in the
country northwest of the Allegheny
mountains" And we'll might Eng
land have so estimated him, AS an
able historian stated in 1889, Gen
eral Clark was an entire stranger to
this country and could not be eX-
pected to have sufficient influence
over a strange people, speaking a
different language from his own, to
induce them to enlist in his hazard
Gus enterprise"
Nor is this scene Of Father Gil
bault's endeavors revered by Amer
leans today, for its association with

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-01-03

At the same time a thor
ough canvass made it appear
equally certain here that con-
gress will not act afresh in
the matter without some
word from the White House.
Negotiations Assume Importance
The negotiations between PreSi-
dent Roosevelt and Manuel QUezOn
majority leader and president of the
Philippine senate, therefore, as
sumes increasing Importance. Upon
them largely depend not only the
status of Uncle Sans far eastern
archipelago and-as many believe
the balance of the Pacific, but
Americas good faith pledged by
every President since Mckinley.
Tomorrow, this writer under
stands, the Filipino statesman, at
President ROoseVeIt's request, VIII
submit a written brief formally set
ting forth his independence plan.
Just what this plan contains. has
not been divulged, and will not be
until it comes from the White
House. But that it Will follow rho
views expressed by the majority OF
the Philippine legislature, which
authorized the QuozOn mission to
this country, is inevitable.
New Enactment Necessary
The Philippines legislature asked
that either the HAYES Cutting act
be amended or a new law be framed
in its entirety. And since the HaWes-
Cutting law now seems doomed TO
expire automatically on Jan. II, one
year from the date of its passage,
new enactment will become a
practical necessity.
The Filipinos hold:
First that ever since President
Mckinley, the United States has
stood pledgAd to grant complete in
dependence whenever the F'iipinos
demonstrated their ability to gov
ern themselves.
ScOnd, that the Jones act of 1916
converted this pledge into law and
that four years later President
Woodrow Wilson, in his last mes
sage to congress. stated the con
ditions precedent had been COM
piled with.
Free Trade Sought
Third, that while the Hawes- Cut
ting act grants conditional indie
pendence in ten years, it puts such
limitations on trade and other eco
nOmic relations that the whole
thing is nullifed. Political indie
pendence, without the economic
means to sustain it, is meaningless.
Fourth. the United States. for
more than thirty years; has DELHI
erately followed a policy which
made the Philippines economically
dependent upon the United States.
1t would therefore be Unfair and
un-American to sever free-trade
relations with the islands while
they are still under the American
flag.
Fifth. period Of from ten to
twenty years should be allowed I'M
der free trade after independence
to permit the islands to readjuSt
themselves TO the new conditions.
Base Withdrawal Asked
Opponents Of the Halves Cutting
act contend that the United States
gave Spain ten years of free trade
with the Philippines after taking
over the possessions. 1t would be

PUBLIC INTEREST
Of n. R. A. PRAISED
League of Women Voters
Head Lauds Spirit of
Cooperation.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON. April 25.-Miss Belle
Sherwin of Cleveland. in her final ad-
dress as president, told the League of
Women Voters today conception of
the public interest was the great gift
of the N R. A.
The public interest lies in the fine
balance of a multitude of interests,
each making claims, no one of which
but must suffer some abridgement or
compromise" she said This is a
conception of the public interest
which challenges voluntary co-opera-
ton to the utmost
1T transcends the idea that the
public interest means only the mega
ton of dominance by special inter-
estS. 1t runs counter to the belief
that the consumers interest is identi-
cal with the public interest and ad-
mitS that the producers welfare and
the welfare of workers are also es-
sential."
Issues Sharply Drawn.
Old issues, she continued. as be-
tween labor and business, have been
more sharply drawn in the past year.
Newer issues, as between owners and
managers or producers and consumers
have been uncovered by the efforts of
private cooperation in the field of
industry under the guidance of a
persuasive Government.
Miss Sherwin made plain that the
league in its non-partlSan organlza-
ton attitude had one bias when it

Where are we going today?"
