ON FILIPINO FREEDOM Former President Tells Senate Committee Self Government Cannot Be Given By Associated Press Washington, D. C., Jan. 2.—Ex- President Taft gave his views to-day on the administration bill for ultimate independence of the Philippines to the | Senate committee working on the | measure. He gave the committee a detailed statement of his conception of the duty of the United States toward the Philippines and of his work as gov ernor-general of the islands and later as Secretary of War and President. "When President McKinley sent me to the Philippines," said Air. Taft, "1 told him that 1 thought we ought not to lie in the islands. He said to me that we had the bear the tail and ' that we had to stay. But the idea i then was that we would get out just as ; soon as we could. Our ilrst purpose I in being in there is to get out. "This discussion." said the former President, "must depend a good deal on what you mean by self-government. I can do no better than quote from the President of the United States." Here Mr. Taft read from one of ' President Wilson's books a lengthy | definition of self-government. It set forth that self-government was "not a mere form of institution, but a form of character, a growing of a people to political maturity." Cannot (live Character "We cannot," said Mr. Taft, "give the Philippines self-government, be cause it cannot be given. We cannot present the Filipino people with a character. It must be acquired. One way to acquire it is through hard knocks, as the Anglo-Saxon race ac quired it. When we went to the Phil ippines we tried to give it to them by maintaining a constitutional form of government as an object lesson and by educating the people in the language of free institutions. We tried to have the government participated in but not controlled by the natives. You cannot make over a people in one (generation. Particularly you cannot | when that is a generation of adults j and a vast majority of that generation 'is woefully ignorant. It cannot be j done. j "'Gentlemen. I'm at last in a position j where I can say just what I think. ! You have called me here. 1 did not ask to come, and I'm going to tell you I just what I know about, things. Need Two Generations "Now," lie continued, "what time ! do 1 think will be necessary to train the Philippines for self-government ? | I The time that shall give to those peo | pie. an opportunity to learn English so I that they shall be an English-speaking i people. That will take more than one ; generation, and probably more than two, if you count thirty years its a j generation. You can't educate all of the people—you haven't got the I money. ! "Democratic promises of Philippine 1 independence." said Mr. Taft. "have I been the great obstacle in our own work over there. Even now it is caus j ing trouble. This man Ricarte. who is charged with fomenting the present ' disturbance, is a professional revo ' lutionist come down from my time in I the islands. He lives in Hongkong on : funds he collects for revolutionist pur | poses In the islands. This present out | break is the result, undoubtedly, of his ! agitation in trying to justify his collec | Hons. He probably argued that Demo crats in the l;nlted States promised independence at a fixed time, that the ! time has now been postponed and that j the promise has been broken." i The former President related many | incidents of his life in.lhe Philippines and his associations with the people. Many of them, dealing with the char acteristics of the Filipinos, rocked the committee and the spectators who crowded the room *ith laughter.

S., Jan. 2.—Word was received here to-day that the Amer ican tank steamer Brindilla, whose arrest by a British cruiser and deten tion at Halifax last October was the cause of diplomatic correspondence between the United States and Great Britain, resulting In the steamer'c release, again has been intercepted off the cost of Scotland and taken to Brest, France, by a French warship. The Brindilla's first seizure off Now Y'ork last October resulted in a vigor ous protest by her owners to the State Department of the United States gov ernment. At that time the Brindilla had aboard a cargo of oil and was bound ostensibly for Alexandria. Egypt. A British cruiser convoyed her to this port. Acting upon the Standard Oil Com pany's protest, the State Department at Washington made representations to the British government which re sulted in the Brindilla's release after she had been detained at Halifax for about a week. The vessel left Halifax for Alexandria, Egypt, on October 31 last, and made the voyage without further incident. She had not been In j home waters since. , . The reason given for the Brindilla's | seizure last October was that It was | suspected that she had aboard a cargo 'of contraband destined for Germany. RELEASE IS PROMISED By Associated Press Washington, D. C„ Jan. 2. The State Department learned to-day that the steamship Brindilla after her seiz ure off the coast of Scotland was taken to Brest and made representa tions to the British government that the ship had acquired her American registry before the outbreak of hos tilities.
