Stim- cyer and Sceretary of War under President Taft. today took office as Governor General of the Phil- ucceeding the late Gen. Leon- guration of the Stimson ad- which has been widely s the beginning of an era of co-operation with the United States, was marked mpressive cere- monies at the Luneta, one of the heights overlooking Manila Bay, a few hours after the arrival of the new executive from the United States. Col. Stimson ignored the question of nsular independence in his inaugural address, beyond saying that the future relations of the islands to the United States “rest with the Government of the United States.” In more or less direct phrases. he asked the Filipinos to for- |0 get politics for a while and concentrate | their cfforts upon ecconomic develop- s of attaining greater m, heralded here palitical freed Urges Co-operation. e to accomplish to- ssful adminisiration of | these islands, can only | he fullest possible meas- hetic and patient co- he said. “For my part I v utmost endeavor to estab- armonious co-operation un- | ic law under which it is | to labor. not within the province of the or general to determine the fu- ms of the inhabitants of 1ds to the United States; that guty rests with the Government of the s—but it is his duty, so long as the present connection remains, to endeavor to make that union & happy and fruitful one and to carry on the government of these islands as far as it rests in his hands in full conformity with the noble, unselfish purpose of | the American leaders, who in past years :‘ ve devised, created and administered I lay pa ular stress upon indus- | trial and economic progress. It has| often seemed to me that sometimes, in | our insistence upon political develop- ment, we overlook the importance of the economic foundations which must underlie it and upon which it neces- sarily rests. Industrial development has been dreaded by some of us as if it were inconsistent with the liberties of the people. As a general pmpnsmon., 1 believe that no greater error could be made, ¢ * * Limit of Revenues. “Today your budget and your tax laws indicate that you are already reaching the limit of revenues obtain- sble upon your present economic de- velopment. _ You are faced with the al- | ternative of increasing your taxable wealth or to check some of the neces- sary activities of your government and of important public improvements. “In short, it is a simple truth not only that individual freedom and the | practice of self-government are found 10.be almost prevalent and firmly held in those communities and nations which | have a highly developed system of in- | dustry and cemmerce as their founda- | tion, but it is also true that oniy in such communities and nations can the @verage citizen attain the degree of individual edmfort, education and cul- ure which modern civilization s com- ing to demand. “Is there any reason why the Pilipino people shouldn't attain such economic development? Manifestly they lack it oday. Manifestly their attention during the past generation has been concen- | trated upon political rather than eco- nomic development, with the result that the progress in the latter field has not kept pace with the exceptional progress made in education and public affairs. Points to America. “But the Philippine Islands are today possessed of political connections with the foremost industrial Nation in the world—a Nation where not only have mechanica! inventions made the great- est advance, but where organization methods of industry and the relations of capital and labor are more enlight- ened and fruitful than in any other country under the sun.
