I, March; 2.—Though the Philippines have npo war. munitions factories and no vast plants for the supply of belligerent Europe with its needs, ‘the year 1916 saw .an era of remarkable prosperity in the islands. ‘There were several causes but chief 0f them was agricultural prosperity coupled With a good demand for in- sular products at high prices. A ‘sub-' ordinate cause was the fact that the threatened exodus ¢f Americans, due t0. greater Filipino contro), did not’ materialize, or at least, materized to @&; very slight degree. Many Amer-| jcans, taking advartage of the pro- visions of “the uu_reman;, law, have I glven wa¥ {ii the govermment.to Fi pinos; but some proportion. of them: have elected to remain in the islands: and the places of many of those who have said good-bye to 'the islands, have been filled by new arrivals ‘es- tablishing themselves in business here. .In ‘agriculture, bumper crops are reported. Rice, the.'staple food of the Filipino, is abundant. All the rice-growing = sections, favored by good weather, have produced almost, record, crops. The dearth of work ‘animals ‘produced by the ravages of rinderpest and the goverriment quar- antine, has been a handicap but has‘ only made the harvest 'slightly. less abundant. There will be need this Year of rice importations from Saigon and Japan as there always is, but there will be a big decrease in the usual amount of rice imports and the money thus saved will add to the prosperity of the islands, The hemp producers who, in 1915, suffered under the combined cloud of decreased demand because of tHe war, and decreased crop, because of heavy storms ti year before, have baen, during 1916, extended to'their 1limit to supply 'the world demand at high: prices. ~The output has not been th ‘best on record but it has heen excel. lent and it has secured record prices. In the hemp provinces, it is no un- common sight to see a lowly peasant hemp-grower walk into a store, make his picks of goods he wants pnd give twenty peso bllis to pay for ‘his pur- chase. ‘A twenty peso bill to such a man in previous years was a matter of hearsay than a tangible reality. .Tobacco in Demand. Short crops for two years in the tobacco lons were followed.the past year by a crop little below normal. Foreign and local demand for Philip- pine tobacco has never been so insist- ent and prices broke all records. A quasi-corner -in Philippine leaf ‘to- bacco helped the upward trend of prices but the growers shared in the prosperity the high prices betokened. The Manila cigar, heretofore, ex- ported almost as much to Europe as to the United States, faced a .dismal uture when the war cut off the Eurqg:_ pean demand. But that future changed 1ts aspect very materially during 1916. Europe was still. not in the market but the United States pur- chased 114,000,000 Manila cigars, an increase of 70 per cent. over the pre- vious year, and more than 90 per cent. more than in 1914. The government collected in the internal revenue on these cigars 700,000, just 100 per cent. more than in the year 1915. Thl, increase in the cigar expor- tations was reflected in increased prosperity for the cigar manufacturer —in some instances. S The aeverage price obtained for Philippine cigars in the United States was lower than in 1915. Manufac- turers of the finer grades of cigars here have viewed the increased export with grave alarm. They declare that it means that the Philippine ‘cigar has been definitely established in the American market as a cheap smoke. Some of them have ceased advertising their cigars in the states as “Philip- pine’ for this reason, and are using only thetr standard factory names. A plan is afoot now to secure a com- binatlon of factories to prevent the cheapening of the better grades of Philippine cigars in the American market. U Food Prices For Sugar. Last year saw also a fine crop in the sugar provinces of the islands and excellent prices for the product. The Philippine sugar industry is stili in a primitive state because of the lack of modern sugar plants. Many plans are afoot for the erection of centrals but few have been brought to realiza- tion., There are no sugar refinerles in the islands. The few planters who have the advantage of centrals and modern machinery have had a won- derful year. Several companies, on the verge of bankruptcy before, have pulled themselves out of the slough and will pay dividends, reaching in some cases to 40 per cent. Cocoanut planters, with high prices for copra, have also made a notable financial succese during the year. Bud rot, which had at one time seemed a menace to insular trees, has been wiped out and favorable weather aid-\| ed. the planters as much as high prices. There are only two plants of any size manufacturing cocoanut oil in the islands, but their initiative has been well rewarded by their profits during the past year. Embroidery and Laces. Last year say also tremendous strides in an industry which had heretofore been in its infancy—em- broidery and laces. The closing of the KFuropean market to American buyers caused a boom in the local in- dustry. At least four big American houses have opened branch manufac- turies in Manila and each month sees & blg increase in embroidery ex- ports to the United Sfates. A group of astute American business who Thete is another business ' which has brought big profits to the Philip- ! pines—=though to a limited group. That & shipping.

All these ‘facts together have con- spired to ‘make the vear one:of the most prosperous in the history of the island: No year will show .such a favorable balance of foreign trade: &s 1916. Even to the retail merchsnts whose chief business ‘has been, with .\merfuna. has this prosperity ~ ex- tended.

AMERICANS GET 0UT, FILIPINOS GET IN Government of Islands Fast ing Its White Experts —_— Manila, March '2.—While every bureau of the Philippine. government has suffered . in the past) six months since the passage of the law which enables -the American,. civil service employe of more than six years' standing to retire on a small pension extending over three years, the bureau of agriculture . reports the heaviest loss from resignations and retirements, Fully fifty per cent. of the Americans' in this important bugeau have. left the government urvlcz.. Adrigno Hernandez, a Filipino, the director of the. bureau, in published statements denied that these resigna- tions. have-affected ‘the efficiency of the bureau. He states that for some time past' Filipinos have, been .acting as assistants ta the Americans who have retired, thus gaining training to take up the work the Americans leave. Of the 21 divisions of the bureau, seven are now entirely in the hands of Filipinos while the remain- der have American. chiefs with Fii; pino subordinates training to take their places. In one department—that of the veterinarians — the retirement of Americans has caused serious incon- venience. - Rinderpest has for years been a dread cattle scourge in the Islands, Last year saw it reach a high mark of fatality just when American veterinarians, .already re- duced in nimber and crippled In their operations by the, small. appropria- tion for their work, were beginning to tire of the service and take ad- vantage of the retirement law. Unlike the othér departments, there | are few" Filipirios .cdmpetent to take up the work of the retiring veterin- arians. There is but one institution the University of the Philippines— which teaches veterinary medicine; primitive farming methods in vogue throughout the country make private employment of veterinarians rare and poorly paid; and Filipino youths aspire rather to the learned professions than to those which demand something akin to manual labor. g So: when the pinch of retiring. vet- erinarians was felt, the bureau, aftor exhausting the local supply- of ‘coms petent men, ‘had to appeal!to the | United States for other veterinarians. At best these are a poor. substitute for the trained men who are quitting since ‘it takes them fully.. & ‘year to’ learn the conditions with' which they have to cope in the field here. .. Among the better known ‘Americans who have recently. left the’ bureau are D. R, Flack, an employe of 15' years' service, who goes to: Petrograd. to join the staff the American em- bassy there, John T..Zimner, entomo- logist, who joins the British agricul- tural forces in Papua, and M.
