MANILA, January 14.—The Philip- pine Herald takes issue editorially with Secretary Kellogg's recent state ment on bolshevism, in so far as the Philippine Islands are concerned. After quoting Gen. Nathorst, chief of the constabulary, as saying that he knows of no bolshevik menace in the islands, the newspaper declares that if the bolsheviks had been active . in the V’hilippines, the United States, with a watchful eve and a fertile imagination, would have raised a hue and cry long ugo. The newspaper says the United States have been con- tent thus far to blame the politiclans for the present independence agita- tion, The Soviet bugbear was created, the paper concludes, as a smoke screen for “blunders” the United States has made in interfering in the affairs of Latin American countries.
