Under auspices of the American Guardian Assoclation of Manila, Inc., which is attempting to raise a trust fund of $2,000,000 throughout the United States, including $50,000 in ‘Washington, for “salvage” and Amer- icanization of these ‘‘mestizos,” the meeting last night was addressed by Vice President Dawes, as presiding of- ficer; Col. Gordon Johnston, U. 8. A.; ‘W. Cameron Forbes, former Governor General of the Philippine Islands, and the Rev. F. X. A. Byrne, president of The plight of DECLARED NATIONAL PROBLEM - Speakers Say America Lags Behind Other Colonial Powers in Efforts to Solve This and Similar Mixed Race Questions. merly connected with Gonzaga Col- lege of this city. Following the meeting, Col. John- ston, who is chalrman of the Wash- ington campaign committee, announced that $4,000 had been contributed to the cause prior to last night's opening public function, and prospects were bright for raising the full $50,000 quota without resort to the conven- tional methods of “drives” and cam- paign teams. Is National Problem. Vice President Dawes sald that when the American Army went to the Philippines it was “a national act,” and the request of Gen. Wood for runds, therefore, presented a ‘na- tional problem.” Former Gov. Gen. Forbes, tracing the development of the Philippine Islands under American control, de- clared that although great strides had D.

Speaking from his experience as president of the Jesuit College in Ma-| nila, Father Byrne made a pictur- | esque and touching appeal in behall of the children, telling of several in- stances of his own knowledge. i “Many of these children,” he said, “are not only on the verge of starva tion, but of physical and moral ruin.” “It doesn’t make any difference how they came there,” he said. “They are there. The ‘East is East,’ and that tells you enough. There are terrible temptations there, terrible difficulties. | Our soldiers are not responsible for the whole condition. No army in the world, I don't care where you find it, has a’ record that is any better. The condition is absolutely unavoidable now. It ha sexisted in every colony the world has ever had. Why discuss the causes? Let us, like the Master, write the faults in the sands of the seashore and put our attention on the little children. *“You will find them there with white FEBRUARY | tion in the 18, 1926. mistakable American features. For |some reason or another these Ameri- can mestizos often seem to partake of the best qualities of both father and mother. For some unexplained reason these little tots are very, very pretty. They are lovely."” In all the islands, Father Byrne suid, records indicated there were about 18,000 such children, of which 2,500 were said to be in “desperate’ need. Col. Johnston explained the finan- cial and legal backing of the associa- islands, as of the fin- vhich Americans in Manila could offer, and praised the American wom- en there behind the movement, in whom he had seen ‘‘the flash of steel behind the tears in their eves, and the fe;'o(‘lty of motherhood behind their pity." est The United States sold to Europe 2.444,000,000 worth of goods in 192 §: Store Hours: 9 AM. to 6 P.M. 7 thers will be a turning point for trat- c.

Opening of Twenty-eighth from Pennsylvania avenue to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was | recommended to the Commissioners | Tuesday by the city and park planning | committee of the National Capital Park Commission. According to the plan worked out by the committee there will be'a 5 per cent grade from Pennsylvania avenue down to the canal on a street to be 35 feet wide, 10 feet of which will be for a side- valk.

Franklin Bell had previously spoken. M. Blanton declared that had the District Com- missioners let the members of the House District committee know they were not in favor of the bill it would have been defeated. ‘““Not one of the 21 members of the committee knew that the Commissioners were against the bilL," he sad. Commissioner Bell interposed at that point, saying, “One of the strong- | est letters we ever wrote on any bill | was one disapproving certain por- tions of that bill.” Mr. Blanton said that if there was such a letter it never redched the House committee. Support of Citizens. Commissioner Bell sald he was in favor of such a bill, although thers were certaln phases of it that he did not approve. He said, also, he was against a city manager form of gov- |ernment. He urged that the citizens of the District get behind the Com- missioners in their appeals to Con- gress for various measures, declaring that there is little, if any, support from the citizens. Commissioner Frederick A. Fenning | made a short humorous address. As. | sistant Engineer Commissioner Covell i || spoke of the recent reduction in elec- ‘53 || tric light rates, and predicted a fur- ud || ther reduction next year. He sald this would be brought about through the increased use of electricity by prop- erty owners. Odell Smith, chairman of the ban- | quet committee, gave a brief history | of the club and Col. Walter V. Ship- | ley, president of the club, was toast- master. George O'Connor sang and Matt Horne accompanied at the plano.
