BLAST ALL HOPE OF INDEPENDENCE FOR PHILIPPINES Islands ‘Are Valuable as Rubber Plantation MANILA, P. L, July 20.—All hopes that the Philippines may get com- plete independence thru mere asking, were blasted in a speech made by Colonel Carmi A. Thompson, who was sent to study the economic situation in the islands by President Calvin Coolidge: In his speech Thompson stressed’ the undeveloped resources of the island and urged them to pass legislation not restricting “outside” capital from developing the island. Resolution. In answer to Thompson’s speech a resolution was introduced which de- clared that if the United States granted the islands their independ- ence they would pass legislation re- moving the barriers to foreign corpo- rations, The present law limits corp- orutions to 2,500 acres of land. Unlimited Island Wealth. “Future commercial development is in the Pacific,” declared Thompson. “Your geographical position will make you the center of this development. The surface of your vast natural re- sources are hardly scratched. The is- lands have unlimited wealth, com- mercial possibilities and rich unde- veloped resources. The natural wealth about to be developed intelli- gently for the benefit of the people of the islands, under no circumstances will be exploited to satisfy greed or ambition. “I hope you gentlemen in your wis- dom will find a way to open primar, ily for the benefit of your people the public lands in the rubber section. The eyes of the world are unon you. You are marked for the next great advance. You require capital, but before the invitation to capital you should pass such laws as will pre; serve the rights of the people as well as safeguarding the rights of those who are willing to support progress financially. I am here to get the facts and will make recommendations which I trust will promote a better understanding between the Ameri- cans and the Filipinos, I hope this understanding will lead to a develop- ment of a great and prosperous peo- ple to be the model government of the Far East as the American govern- ment is the model of the West.” Rubber Plantations. Governor General Wood’s message to the joint session of the senate and house stressed the possibility of hay- ing vast rubber plantations on the island and urged the legislative bod- ies to work towards that end. “Within the limits of the archipel- ago very large areas are in every way adapted for rubber production,” declares Wood’s report. “These are now covered by forests, jungles and congo grass, giving small or no re- turns. I believe if industry is devel- oped and well handled the Philip- pines can produce enuf rubbd@r to fully supply their own demands and those of the United States. Rubber production will facilitate very greatly the economic development of the is- lands. I am confident that Filipino laborers, ‘if well treated and reason- ably well paid, can be secured in suf- ficient numbers to work the planta- tions successfully and push the de- velopment of the industry. Once the details of producing rubber are un- derstood, Filipino planters will be as successful in growing rubber as they are in growing crops, hemp and su- gar. I recommend that legislation be enacted to permit and encourage the growing of rubber on a large scale.” * MANILA, P. I, July 20.—Governor General Leonard Wood denied reports that he had resigned. Rumors that he had resigned had been circulated since the visit here of Colonel Carmi A, Thompson, who is making an economic survey of the Philippines for President Coolidge.

RAISE FUNDS IN CHICAGO TO AID MUNCIE EDITOR Appeal Before Indiana Supreme Court A drive is now on in Chicago to raise $5,000 to aid George R. Dale, Muncie, Indiana editor, to carry his appeal to the United States Supreme Court in a fight to determine whether a newspaper is in contempt of court when it prints the truth. Dale. was #entenced by Judge Dearth, an alleged member of the Ku Klux Klan, to 3 months on the penal farm and fined $500 because of an edi- torial written by Dale in which he as- sailed the grand jury, the jury com- missioners, the sheriff and the county prosecutor in his trial on a charge of violating the Indiana liquor law. The charge of violating the liquor law was later dropped. Dale in his editorial charged that the liquor law violation charge was a frame-up and an attempt on the part of the klan to “get him” for his assaults on the hooded order.

Due to the severe economic crisis that has struck the world the amount of cash finding its way into Rome is growing smaller and smaller. The amount of cash finding its way to the Vatican is not known. The Pope to whom all money is paid is not respon- sible to anyone, No reports are made. The last report of the Vatican budget was made in 1870. In this way the Pope alone knows the state of the treasure, At the time of the death of Pope Pius 1X, the Vatican had about $6,000,000 in various invest- ments. Since that time it is believed that the investments of the church have grown much larger.
