GOV.-GENERAL
OF PHILIPPINES
|
Declares It Not Right That Free- |
dom Should Longer Be
Withheld. |
By FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON,
of the
(First Article.)
Governor-General Philippines.
My six years’ ex-
as to the executive
administration,
that independence
be granted
As to the question of the stability of
government, I wish to say to the Am-
erican upon my responsibility
as the governor-general that in my
opinion there exists today in the Phil-
ippine Islands a stable government,
which I think should answer the re-
quirements lald down by Presidents
Grant and McKinley, and as I under-
stand it, also by Mr. Root—nunely, a
government elected by the s® rage of
the people, which is supported by the
people, which is capable of maintaln-
ing order and of fulfilling its intefna-
tional obligations.
I am very glad to go on record as be-
ing entirely in sympathy with the as-
pirations of the Filipino nation for in-
Gov. Gen, Harrison
people
dependence.
I have recommended to Congress
that in granting independence some
provision be made similar to what 18
known as the Platt amendment in the
treaty with Cuba, which restricts the
ability of the new republic in borrow-
ing of foreign governments and also
permits the United States to interfere
with the affairs of the new republic in
case conditions of disorder should be
found to prevail. Such recommenda-
tion does not come as an expression of
the views of the Filipinos; it is my
own view of what would be desirable |

! to secure a feeling of confidence and |
satisfaction on the part of all persons |
who have already invested money in |
the Philippines or who contemplate do- |
Ing so in the near future,
But it is not right that independence
itself should longer be delayed.
By temperament, by experience, by
financig! ability, in every way, the
11,000, Filipinos are entitled to
be free from every government except |
of their own choice. They are intelli- |
gent enough to decide for themselves,
I have found the native Filipino of-
ficial to be honest, efficient and as ca-
pable of administering executive pgsi-
tions as any men I have met anywhere |
in the world.
These officials are today governing
1,000 municipalities and forty-two |
provinces, economically, efficiently and |
for the good of the entire people. They |
have a native congress, including many |
graduates of Yale, Princeton, Harvard |
and other American universities. Oth- |
er members are graduates of Santo To- |
mas and other Philippine universities, |
and In education apd ability they com- |
pare favorably with any I know. |
They have leaders like Speaker Os-
mena of the House of Representatives |
and President Quezon of the Senate |
who would adorn any office.
The Philippines are away ahead of |
the United States in successful govern- |
ment ownership and operation of pub-
lic utilities.
The government took hold of the |
steam railways and made them pay a |
profit of 1,000,000 pesos a year more
than under private ownership.
It took hold of the highways, and
we have 7,000 miles of the best mac-
adamized roads in the world. The
Manila city government is about to
take over the street railways and the
gas and electric plants, while the ter- )
ritorial government is arranging for
ownership and control of the coal sup-
ply.
The movement for independence is
a peaceful one. No territory was more
loyal to Uncle Sam during the war. It
offered an armed and equipped division
to our government, gave it a subma-
rine destroyer and oversubscribed Lib-
erty loans and Red Cross funds.
Two million natives speak English
fluently, and there are 700,000 English
speaking children in the public schools,
I am more than willing to retire if
the Filipinos can be granted what they
deserve—a government like that of the
United States.
A MISREPRESENTED RACE.

The Filipino people are a much mis
represented race. The frequent pub- |
lication of pictures of semi-naked Min- |
danao Moros and Igorotes has caused
a great many Americans to believe
they are typical of the inhabitants of
the Philippines. Such is far from the
case, however. Of 11,000,000 inhab-
itants of the islands, 10,500,000 are a
Christian, civilized people with a cul
ture and refinement that will compare
very favorably with that of other na-
tions. The Filipino women are excep-
tionally modest. A street flirtation in
Manila, so far as a Filipino woman is
concerned, is something that is almost
unknown, as any American that has
visited Manila will testify,

According to statistics compiled for
the Association of Life Insurance Pres-
idents in 1918, 27.65 per cent of life
insurance companies’ assets were in-
vested in railroad bonds, and during
the first half of 1919 the percentage of
railroad bonds held by the life insur-
ance companies was 26.25 of the total
assets of these companies.
Interest of Wage Earners,
In addition to this widespread own-
ership of equities of American rail
roads by the people of the United
States every wage earner who puts
money into the savings bank has a di-
rect interest in the soundness of rail-
road investment on account of the

A great many of these institutions
are mutual savings banks which have
no capital stock, pay no dividends,
earn no profits for stockholders, and
their entire property belongs to the de-
positors. Livery dollar that the bank
earns bevond the actual cost of doing
