Foreign Interests Reap Profits
From Money u. S. Spends In P. l.
BY WILLIAM J. WALTERS
Written for NEA Srrvice1

The Philippines today are an
outstanding example of colonial
administration. In culture and in
science the 1000 odd islands which
comprise the archipelago have been
transformed from country of
shocking disorder into a nation
with relatively high standard Of
living and a brilliant future.
We have introduced the Amer
lean way"
But what has been the result
for us? II we give the Filipinos
immediate independence, which
their leaders have repeatedly asked
for but which the people do not
really want, where do we stand I?
As colonizers have we been philan-
thropists or business men?
The United States government
has spent some twenty millions of
dollars a year in the Philippines
for 40 years. This should be a
good investment, resulting in pref
erential trade agreements. Poten-
tally the islands are a healthy.
congenial place in which Ameri-
cans may work and expand their
business throughout Asia. They
are an apt market for our manu.
featured goods and a splendid
source for raw materials which we
do not have within our borders.
But we have been over-lenient from
a standpoint of restrictive legisla-
ton.
The commercial benefits we
might have reaped have gone to
he private business enterprises of
)ther nations.
