A T T FREE PHILIPPINES Would Be Harmful to Com- merce and Diplomacy. (Continued From Twelfth Page.) | stimulated sugar industry. the failure of their national bank, which is bound government securities; an Immediate depression in trade, a serious reduction of income, accompanied by a heavy.in- crease of taxation, and a lowering of the whole standard of living of the people, whose average per capita income is now only $35 a year.” Truly this is a gloomy and most for- bidding picture. And does any o | seriously contend that these calamitio: could be avoided by a brief five-vear period of attempted economic admust- mmt—a quasi “trial independence’? It is my own conviction, based upon personal observation of the Filipinos and upon the evidence of well informed officials and others who have spent years in the study of this question, that the people of the Philippines are today totally unprepared for independence, and that to bring their development, under the most favorable possible con. ditions, up to & point where their in- terests would not be gravely menared by such action on the part of Congress would require a period of at least 30 years. Note Secretary Stimson's view: “The separation of the Philippine Islands.” he says, “from all leadership | or control by the American Government would destroy self-government in the { Philippines, and the result would be { either a condition of anarchy or a con- dition of oligarchy in which a com- paratively small class of Filipinos— money lenders and local politicians— would exercise arbitrary power over the ordinary rights of the Individuals, the small men of the islands,” subjecting them to financial tyranny from the one class and to political tyranny from the other. To build up sufficient resistance to these influences would take far longer than the proposed readjustment period. In a recent article Mr. Roosevelt thus touches upon the financial aspect of the subject: Financial Difficulites. “The greatest difficulties which the event of independence would be of a financial nature. The Filipinos today are paying as high taxes as it seems possible to collect. These revenues, to- gether with the rebate on the internal revenue tax of the United States on tobacco, which is paid by the United States Treasury to the Philippine treas- ury, cover the actual administration of the clvil arm of the government. But they do not pay for the defense of the their diplomatic interests abréad. The former item, including the extensive fortifications of Corregidor and the maintenance of military and naval forces, is paid by the United States. America’s foreign service representatives {at America’s expense, “It follows, therefore, that the Phil- ippine republic would begin its inde- same time have to do without the sub- with the United States were severed.” whose continuation could not be rea- aided by our vast resources of knowledge an': experience. In this connection he sald: strides were made while the health work was under American supervision. Deaths from cholera dropped from about 100,- 000 in 1900 to 820 in 1915, and deaths from smallpox fell from 40.000 to 276. Then came the Filipinization of the government service, and strict American supervision of the health work was re- laxed. Deaths from cholera jumped from 820 in 1915 to 17,537 in 1919, The situation was so alarming that the Americans ageain took hold of the work, and by 1924 there were no deaths from cholera and only six from smallpox. Two subsequent threats of epldemic were promptly checked by drastic steps on the part of the American executives.” ‘With this striking picture before us, 2 picture which graphically portrays what has happened when Filipinos togk | charge of the Public Health Service, and which may fairly be said to portray what will probably happen again as soon as the firm hand of the American Gov- ernment is removed, is it fair to the Filipinos or to ourselves to grant them independence in the pear future? Public Health Factor. Let me give you these figures once more. When we began the service in 1900 deaths from cholera were 100,000 Under strict American enforcement they fell to 820 in 1915. Under the admin- istration of Gov. Gen. Harrison & dif- ferent policy was followed. The Fili- pinos were allowed a very large measure of self-government. What happened? ?_,holerl deaths jumped from 820 to 537, Now, take the statistics relating to smallpox. Where there had been a de- cline in deaths from this disease from 40,000 to 276, when the Filipinos largely took the reins in the Harrison regime there was tl appalling increase in the smallpox death rate from practically a negligible figure to almost 50,000. Then came the resumption of Ameri- can public health control under Ge Leonard Wood. with stringent regulatio: and in 1924 cholera claimed not & sin- Glasess Fitted ives Examined 3 s - DR. CLAUDE S.

Francisco Almada up with sugar and is the depository of { occupied the governor's palace at Chis huahua City, Mexico, today, -following | his_purported impeachment and flight, { to Juarez Wednesday. | _Gov. Almada returned to Chihuah: City by plane yesterday after C. Rl Palacios, secretary of the interior | Mexico City, telegraphed the governor | assurance of “safety and justice.” He was preceded by half an hour by Gen. Mora and immediately was rein- | stated 1n office as governor. President Pascual Ortiz Rubio’s chief of staff announced he would condnct an investigation into the shooting and riots | Wednesday in the Chamber of Deputics, ! which resulted in the death of Gabriel | Jiminez, chief of state police. The encounter occurred while par~ tisans of Manuel Prieto, candidate for governorship of the Stale of Chihuahus in the July 20 election, were reading | impeachment charges ~against Gov. Almada. The charges accused Gov. Al- mada of misconduct in office. Manuel Jesus Estrada _was named Provisional Governor by the Prieto faction. Cheering crowds greeted Gov. Almada upon his arrival at the Chihuahua City Airdrome, but troops were held in read} ness, lest partisans of ada again attempt. to seize the palace. | | —————— gle life and there were but six smalipos fatalities. These statistics speak vole umes by way of pointing out the cons trast between Filipino and American direction of public health activities, These diseases fall heaviest on poorest people. Are we justified iy forcing the Filipinos at this time to face these epidemics? It costs us some money, but can we afford not to pros tect them against such devastating | scourges? Passing to another phase of the ques- tion, it is my belief that the granting of independence at this time, or withiy such a brief period as 5 or 10 years | would result in the economic domina. politicians would have to face in the! tion of the population of the islands by {an alien race, the Chinese, who now control the retail trade of the large citfes and the markets of the small Filipino producers in the provinces.

In this recommendation op- | ponents of immediate independénce for the Philippines fully concur. Mores Would Protest. Another element in the Philippine problem which touches closely the ques= tion of whether or not the Filipinos are capable of governing themselves con- | cerns the relations between the Filipinos |and the Moros, the latter a brave and war-like people, numbering about 750,~ 000, inhabiting Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago, ~There is abundant evi dence that the Moros, differing in ry ligion and other respects from the Fili- pinos, would never consent without & | struggle to being governed by the Fili- | pinos. Most of the Moros desire to re~ main under our fiag. As long as they are controlled by American influence they are fairly peaceable and tractable, but the moment that control is vested |4n their hereditary enemies opposition | to\ the point of actual warfare on the | Pal't of the Moros is forecast by those | best informed on the subject. Further- more, we virtually promised the Moros | we would protect them with our armed forces if they gave us their arms. Th did so. We must not lightly cast asi our responsibility to them. Secretary of War Hurley, who has devoted & great amount of thought and consideration to the Philippine problem, sums up thus pertinently his conclu~ stons: | "It is believed that the granting ef | complete independence at this time | would be disastrous alike to the ultima! | interests of both the Filipinos | American people; that no diminution ef American control in the islands below that which may properly be effected un- | der the present organic act should be | brought about while the responsibility incident to American sovereignty in the ! Philippines continues, and that it would | be inexpedient and hazardous to at- | lempt to anticipate future developments | by fixing any future date for ultimate independence.” | With the Secretary's position I am in delightful cruising—down the Potomac, | COmplete agreement. 4D the Chesapeake Bay.
