PAGE THREE
CONGRESSMEN
FAVOR FILIPINO
INDEPENDENCE
Congressman Ed
ward J. King
of Illinois,
Vashlngton.-"The
Appointed hour Is
here: lot the Phil
ippines le free."
This was the key
note of a speech hy
Congressman Ed
ward J. King of Illi
nois, (Republican;
In which he review
ed the American oc
cupation of the Is
lands from the first
day to the present
time. He declared
that t h e U n 1 1 e d
States was honor
bound to grant in
dependence without further delay.
Congressman King is one of an in
creasing number of Republicans In the
House who are nrglng quick action
on "Philippine independence. Mr.
King Is the author of a bill which pro
vides that within one year the Philip
pine government, under presidential
proclamation, may assemble a conven-
tlon and frame a constitution.
After the constitution Is ratified' by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine Islands as "a
separate and' self-governing nation."
The transfer of authority Is (to be
completed within one year. Provision
Is made for safeguarding American in
vestments In the Philippines and for
the providing of coaling stations and
submarine bases In the Islands by the
United Stutes.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early independence
and will be sorely disappointed If they
do not get It.
"No nation has the right," said Con
gressman King "to hold another people.
In peonage, even though It may be
argued by the professoriate that the
condition is simply one of 'tutelage.'
"A little more observance of the
golden rule In national and Interna
tional affairs would soon dispel that
desire for exploitation, the fiercest foe
of freedom In the world today.
"When wo went to the Philippines
we declared before the whole world
that we were not actuated by any self:
Ish desire of conquest or Territorial
aggrandizement, but solely by humani
tarian impulses."
Congressman K'njr culled attention
to the fact that Filipinos are now
raising funds to erect a monument to
Admiral Dewey, which he sold was In
directly a tribute to the American peo
ple as well as to Dewey.' "He1 recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
PresldenT'McK'lnley, "which was" us
follows:
"In -my opinion these people (Fili
pinos) are superior In Intelligence und
more capable of self government than
the natives of Cuba, nnd I am familiar
with both."
Congressman King then recited the
preamble to the. Jones law, passed
August 20, 1910, and declared It was a
definite pledge of independence. The
preamble stated "It Is as It has always
been the purpose of the people of
the United States to withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their Independence ns
soon as a stable government can he
established therein."
Congressman King stated there was
no question but that the Filipinos had
established the specified stable gov
ernment and," therefore, It Is the
solemn duty or the United States to
grant the promised Independence.

that within another year or so,
