ISSUES REPORT ON ISLANDS WABHINGTON, Nov. 28.-—S8ecre- tary Garrison of the War department fssued a formal statement today sharply arraigning former President Willlam A. Taft for having lent his name to what are termed ‘‘state- ments mendacious in character and mischievous in intent” with relation to conditions In the Philippine islands under the present administ tion. Circulation of these state- ments, Mr. Garrison charges, show plainly “that the republican politi- ecians are attempting to lay the foun- dation for campaign material with respect to the Philippine islands.” Particular nttention is g.ven by the retary to articles written by O, Garf.eld JoNes and published fn a Cailfsrnia news- paper, and later republished in pamphlet form under the title “Unhappy Condi- tions In the Philippine Islands,” with an Sntroduction by Mr. Taft. The introduc- tion attributed (he conditions descriLed o the “blind and foolish policy of Presi. dent Wilson and Governor General Har- rison.” Garrison’s Letter, In connection with his comment Mr. Garrison makes public a letter which he says was written recenty by Jones to the department asking where a news- paper market might be found for a “much better article” which he had pre- pared on “The Fillpinos and the Demo- cratic Regime,” declared to be highly favorable to the administration. The statement follows: “It Is becoming very plain that the re- publican politicians are attempting to lay the foundation for campaign material with respect to the Philippine islands. f'here have recently appeared a sories of rviews or articles exhibiting & sham Jess Intention in this matter. These state- ments are mendacious in character and mischlevous in intent.
