Cameron Forbes, with the other members of President Harding’s mission to the Philippine Islands, sailed yesterday for Hongkong, China, on the steamer Korea Maru. After a three-day visit to Hongkong the mission will go to Shanghai on the steamer Empress of Asia. where they are to be the guests of the Chi- hese government, later visiting Pe- king and other citie . Leaving China, the mission will travel through Korea as guests of the Japanese government, following Which Gen. Wood and other members of the commission will return to Ma- hila, while Mr. Forbes will sail from dapan to the ['nited States with the mission’s réport. A summary of the report was tele> graphed to President Harding from Manila just prior to the departure for China. Lack Sufiicient Resources. In an address yesterday at the Uni- versity of the Philippines Mr. Forbes declared the islands are still without sufficient resources for the mainte- nance of a separate unprotected gov- ernment, but that he believed it con- trary to the traditional policy of the American people to hold an alien People in subjection permanently Bgainst their own will. “I will make clear the position I have always held™egarding Philip- pine independence,” Mr. Forbes said. 1 believe in the desire for independ- ence. and have never tried to discour- age it. Ialways said my duty as gov- ernor gencral included changing the olitical relationship between the Philippine Islands and the United States and have devoted myself to the development of natural resources. as the Filipino people were then and still are without sufficient resotirces for the maintenance of separate gov- ernment without protection Paths Are Parall id then and say now, ‘Devote yourselves to developing your natural Tesources, So as to make yourscives strong enough to maintain your na- tionality.” Until that time comes; un: til you have developed sufficient sources to maintain your nationality our paths are parallel. “Whatever permanent relationship is_established, it will be one which will be mutually agreed upon by both peoples and satistactory to both, and To relationship, unless so established, can be permanent.” D.C.

Dr. Wilhelm Rosen- berg of Vienna and Dr. Aurel Egry of Budapest were counsel for the Hapsburgs. The meeting here yesterday was the last of a series during the past few months at Carlsbad, Kissingen, Vienna and Paris. The transaction concerns the vast land and industrial holdings of the Hapsburgs distributed throughout Austria, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Poland, Rumania and Italy. They include the great steel works and mines in Teschen, which are partly in Czechoslovakia and partly in Poland. The estate, com prises numerous other industriew i cluding the dairies which form® furnished most of the Vienna suppl of milk and butter, sugar plantations, factories, apartment houses, palaces and other private properties in Vienna, castles in various parts of the continent, about 1,000.000 acres of agricultural and forest lands scatte ed over several countries, and the remarkable Albertina Museum in Vienna, which is said to contain nearly one million works of art. Commanded Armies in War. Archduke Frederick was a field mar- shal and was commander-in-chicf of the Austro-Hungarian armies in the late war. His great-grandfather was a nephew of Empcror Francis I and was adopted by Duke Albrecht of Saxeteschen, who married Archduch- ess Maria Christina, daughter of Maria Theresa. Archduke Frederick is the uncle of King Alfonso of Spain. His sister was the Queen of Bavaria. Thus a considerable part of the prop- erty came from the Saxon house. This is regarded as important by the members of the American syndi- cate, because the properties they are taking over were not part of the pos- sessions of the Austrian crown, but, ing by Gov. Hardwick, Mayor Key, came to Archduke Frederick from other sources than the Hapsburgs. A large part of the properties were purchased and developments from pri- vate means were increased during the | will hold a lawn|[150 years by investments and returns | from new enterprises. It is regarded as .a fortune built cssentially upon savings by business management, and not upon royal gifts and concessions. Archduke rederick was cluded from all his properties located in countries formerly composing _the Austro-Hungarian _monarchy. Some have been sequestered and others were claimed as confiscated, part of them by the reconstituted old gov- ernments and others by the new tates in whose jurisdiction the prop- erties were brought by terms of v: rious peace treaties. Negotiations Begun in 1919. American interest in the properties had its origin in Switzerland in the | summer of 1919, when Archduke Fred- erick made the acquaintance of Thomas J. Felder, an American living in Paris. Operation of the various industries had been paralyzed by disorganization con-| sequent to the war, and the archduke desired to bring American capital and methods into their restoration. Ar- rangements were made in October, 1919, whereby the archduke was to transfer his varfous properties, except those in new Hungary, to a corpora- tion organized in Switzerland to take over the administration of the estates. Mr. Felder was to form a syndicate In America to acquire substantial in- terests in the new company, which he did. Differences arose between the archducial family and the syndicate, owing to subsequent action by various Eovernments in efforts to confiscate the properties, which resulted in liti- gation in the Swiss courts. These dif- ferences have now been adjusted through the agreement reached here yesterday. = The American syndicate and the archduke will proceed to en- force what they believe to be their rights against several governments now withholding possession. League Jurisdietion. A complaint is about to be lodged béfore the mixed tribunals of the league of nations, before which new states will be summoned as having acted In _deflance of treaties with the allles. Interesting questions regard- ing treaty rights and obligations are expected to be developed. Archduke* Albrecht, who participated In the negotiations, declines to com- ment upon the trausaction, but Mr. Felder, confirming the substantial ac- curacy of the foregoing, added that before the syndicate undertook the transaction it communicated with the American State Department and with French authorities and was assured that there would be no objection to the proposed investment.

Copyright, 1021. CONSTANTINOPLE, September The Greek offensive may be considered to have failed cogpletely. The Greek army has begun to retreat under dis- advantageous conditions, though it is not followed by the Turks, who are themselves exhausted. King Constantine s leaving the front for the headquarters behind Brussa on the pretext of ill health, which necessitates his complete se- clusion, none being permitted to see him. News received direct from the front announces that the morale of the Greeks is much impaired. The sol- rs are suffering from dysentery aM fever and openly show their dis- content. In several divisions wounded soldiers demand immediate demobili zation, because Angora, their final ob- jective, to which the commanding offi- cers promised to conduct them before the end of the week, has not yet been reached. Luckily for the Greeks. the Turkish situation is not more briiliant, thougn the morale of the soldiers is g00d, ow- ing to the check given to the Greek troops and the arrival at the Turkish front of reinforcements numbering 24,000 soldiers from the Caucasus. Lack of munitions and transportation prevent the Turks from following up the Greeks. Only Kurd cavalry d. tachments are capable of harassing the rear guard.
