Effect of Islands on Ameri- can Products Is Brought Up. independence of the Philippine Islands came to the surface spirited debate on a subject hinging on priations bill. Within the past two weeks, including yesterday, three times the members of the House have applauded vigorously addresses delivered by the Filipino com- miscioner, Camila Osias, resulting re- marks by American members holding almost unanimously to the patriotic flavor of the commissioner's words. Yesterday, however, the started this time by Representative Knutson. Republican, of Minnesota, Was tinged thorqughly with the economic side_of the question. marks with the statement that since the islands are capable of governing themselves “we ought to redeem Amer- ca’s pledge to them by giving them com- plete independence.” Cites Effect on U. S. Farmer. Knutson soon shifted his point to the effect on farmers of the United States of the free entry of Filipino products, particularly vegetable oils and sugar. He said that at the present time, as a result of the island competition, there were 540,000,000 pounds of American dairy products in storage with no mar- ket for it. Representative Selvig, also from Min- nesota. and a Republican, pointed out that it had cost the American farmers $150,000,000 in_profits to build up the present economical structure of the Philippines. An opponent of independence at this point asked if withdrawal of such sup- port-at this time would not immediately deal the islands such a blow as to make it almost impossible for them to recover. Turning to Osias, Knutson asked: “Would it be p your present _cconomic status wit American tariff duties against you?" Could Levy Own Duty. “The gentleman forgets,” Osias said. “that independence would give us an opportunity te.levy duties of our own.” Knutson is the author of one of sev- eral bills now pending in committee granting immediate independence to the islands. The products of his State are in direct competition with Filipino products. ' He pleaded yesterday, ‘as did Representative Dyer of Missouri, for a chance to see the House vote on his bill. “I cannot understand,” Knutson said, “why some consider the islanders in- capable of taking care of themselves. ‘Why, you never hear any one ever inti= mating that the United States is in- capable of self-government and look at Chicago. Every time they have an elec- tion there the papers are full of slug- ging matches and gang murders, but no one has the temerity to suggest we can't govern ourselves. Representative Hooper, Republican, of Michigan, a member of the group which pelieyes the islands not yet ready for independence, a group which at present seems to be in the majority, argued yes terday that a sudden cutting of the strings between the islands and the United States would be harmful not only to the islands, but to the United States. Hooper Asks More Time. “Fifty yea#s,” Mr. Hooper said; “Is but a drop of time in the history of a country. Let us not cast off these:peo- ple until we have done our duty with them. Let us wait a few more years, and in that time make preparations for their future security.” g Representative Maas, Republican, of Minnesota, represents another school of thought on the subject in that he favors an ultimate establishment of the dominion status in the islands. He be- lieves the islanders should be at some future date given the opportunity to govern themselves but that tuey should be Amerieans, too. He compared the status he would like to see exist be- tween the islands and the United States with that which now exists be- tween Canada and Great Britain, The whole question of the independ- This h pensive BALTIMORE, December 14— The §tate Department of Forestry has called attention to the roadside tree law, which Euvidu that no trees growing within e right of way of any public road or Between the curb line and property line of any incorporated town shall be trim- med or cut without a permif, and “that ut | ) any person or persons who shall cut | @down, trim or in any manner mutilate | ®r injure any roadside tree without a | permit shall be guilty of a-misdemeanor | and shall be punishable by a fine of not | Jess than $5 offense.” Permits for the removal o: trimming of trees are good only for the current year and expire on December 31 of said eal values. | but a v @ pewter p The reason behind the recent con- | stantly recurring pleas in the House for | debate, | Prefacing his re- | ssible for you to retain | TARIFF QUESTIONS SEEN BEHIND PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE PLEA {Economic Factors Involved| | terday when a | the tariffl cropped out during discussion | of the Agriculture Department appro- | ence of the Philippines has been brought to the fore within the past few weeks because of tariff.

Defeat at This Time Is Seen. A vote on the subject at the pre: |ent time, it is said, certainly would re {sult in defeat of the move. A delay of some time, it is sald, possibly might change the situation, although it is problematical. An instence of how | votes are changed, it was pointed out. is the case of Representative Strong of Kansas, who last year was strongly against voting independence but who yesterday advocated it. He said yesterday the islanders were ready for independence, a point proven by the establishment of more than 100 schools there. “It is not a question, he said, “of whether they are capable of govern- ing themselves, but a question of when we are ready to let them go. 1f they are no longer of any value to us and have in fact become a lability. then it is time to let them run their own affairs,” STUDENTS WILL HEAR TALK ON SECURITIES |C.
