(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON By No Means United Circulars sent out by the Ameri- can Chamber of Commerce of Man- ila, P. I., emphasize very strongly the fact that not all of our island broth- ers are yearning for independence. ‘The statement makes no reference to the desirability or undesirability of Pilipino freedom from a political standpoint, but it does bear down hard on the idea that Americans have a stake in the islands which would be destroyed if political freedom were to be followed by the levying of tariffs on island products. At present, of course, the islands are listed as possessions of the Uni- ted States. Its inhabitants generally enjoy the rights and privileges of citizens. Trade is free and unham- pered between the islands and the mainiand. The United States gov- ernment is represented by an Amer- " fean governor-general. . A special edition of the American Chamber of Commerce Journal, cir- culated widely to American news- papers, goes into detail as to the commercial relationships now exist- ing and charges that the American movement to grant Filipino indepen- dence is due to a plot and to propa-| ganda spread by Cuban sugar inter-/ ests, H John R. Wilson, secretary of the Manila organization, opening a/ lengthy article on the subject, says: | “It is not intended to discuss in} this article the question of indepen- dence nor the why’s and wherefore’s thereof. For the time being we will leave that to the politician. However, if independence does become a real-! ity it will not be a result of the! lamentations of a ‘subject people’ but rather the direct result of vicious pro- paganda and politics in the United States.” The intent of the article is to demonstrate that the benefits re- ceived by American agriculture and labor from free trade with the islands more than offset the attendant) handicaps imposed by the free entry of such products as copra, copra cake, cocoanut oil and sugar. It points out, for instance, that the Philippines were jhe U. 8. best customer for cotton goods in 1929 and 1930 and that it imsported approximately $3,000,000 worth of flour in addition to other agricultural products. Tt gives even the dairy farmer an argument, pointing out that the idlamds imported $2,700,000 worth of mail in 1930, even though it did ex- Pert cocoanut oil to be made into soap, oleomargarine and whatnot,) thereby competing with American butter and animal-fat. All in all the magazine makes a most interesting presentation of a matter, which heretofore has been seen largely in a political light. Delegations of natives have caused us to think of the Filipinos in terms of brown rather than white people. ‘We have overlooked, somewhat, those Americans to whom independence for the islands would not be an unmixed blessing. Blood is thicker than water and it is obvious that the American peo- ple living in the islands and finan- cially interested there will get sym- pathetic hearing when the time comes for them to present their case. jth a question of discarding the int is of fellow citizens involved, it may not be so easy to get rid of the islands after all. 2 ‘The Manila organization raises the Football Proselyting ef the U. 8.

Without going into the justice or .50| injustice of the system, it is a well- known fact that West Point has solicited attendance of outstanding athletes for years. Men who have starred on college football teams seem to have little difficulty in getting up- pointments to the military academy. North Dakota might even have con- tributed a luminary to eastern grid- irons had Glenn Jarrett, forner North Dakota university man, cared to cavort in cadet gray. When North Dakota played the Army a year ago last fall it was reported that Jarrett had been offered an appointment to the academy but had refused. And so lovers of fair play will not get excited by the Navy's change in policy. Certainly the Annapolis| School should be permitted to take advantage of the same resources which are available to The Army or to scores of colleges throughout the country.
