Freeing the Philippines
PRESIDENT HOOVER'S veto of the Philippine indepen
JL deuce bill is fully justified. Even friends of indepen
dence) should resent the terms under which the ties of 34
years are to be severed. The measure does not represent the
effort of the United States to discharge its obligations to
our wards in the orient, but the sinister moves of commer
cial interests in this country.. American capital interested in
Cuban sugar mills, and the
which head up in some powerful industries long represented
by Senator Reed Smoot are moving to destroy the compe
tition of Philippine sugar. That
largely in the hands of the natives. It employs 1,500,000 peo
ple and provides an annual income to the islands of 100,-
000,000 pesos, under the independence bill eventually this
sugar will be barred except by
tering this country which has long afforded almost the sole
' market. And export taxes are to be imposed early in the
, transition period which will act
The situation is this: the prosperity of the islands has
been built up largely through trade with the United States.
Most of their exports come here; most of their imports come
from; this country. With inadequate provision for trade read
justment it is proposed to set the islands adrift after eight
years. The Philippine government has had great difficulty
in sustaining its revenues even
can ft survive under such conditions?
Again the United States while purporting to withdraw
from the orient, retains naval and military bases on the
islands. From our standpoint it
don such bases entirely because
we assume responsibility for defense of the Philippines. Bet
ter obtain some treaty of neutralization for whatever it is
worth, and then withdraw completely rather than preserve
a dangerously exposed position in the orient.
As Secretary Stimson points out, now is no time to be
lowering colors in the far east The orient is in ferment
As the secretary, himself a former governor general of the
Philippines, says:
! "Such a situation might be an irreparable blow to American
- influence at a time when the state of affairs In the far east 1
chaotic, when every element of stability is threatened, and when
out of the orient may again come one of those historic move
meats which might disturb the whole earth."
Gold in Oregon
THERE'S gold in them thar hills." That has been the as
sertion of grizzled prospectors about every diggings.
They go into the secret recesses of the mountains, their packs
upon their backs, with a parcel of food for a grubstake. Many
of them live out their lives unrewarded, hopeful to the end.
Some make a living, long periods of privation broken with oc
casional good strikes. A very few make a real "killing" which
it always the goal of the miner and the speculator.
There is a world-wide revival in gold mining. The price
of gold being fixed, and now relatively high in terms of
commodities, there is a rush to dig out the yellow metal
There have been few big strikes, but a great army of men
have made a living out of gold mining. It has thus become
a salvation to many otherwise unemployed. Earnings range
from a dollar or two a day up to $10 or $15 a day, and more
of course if the scale of operations is enlarged.
v The enthusiasm shown at the mining congress held here
Saturday was reminiscent of booster meetings of more pros
perous days. The same zeal, the same hopefulness, the same
cry for cooperation and for legislation. It is difficult to see
however what such an organization can do. Mining law is
well defined, and much tinkering with the laws would com
plicate rather than clarify matters. After that, mining is a
matter nf individual effort. and luck. It is just a matter of
finding out where the gold is, and separating it from other
materials. It has no marketing problems, no grading stand
ards, no quarrels about discounts.
lit takes hardy men to follow the lure of gold, men who
mn labor loner and hard, can toil in cold water, can bake
their own bread and tend their own shacks. And so great
has been the rush into the
irmwlTiff harder to tret rood
ces iieed to be developed, and the production of a half-million
and more of gold in 1932 is a big contribution to the
state's wealth; but the present enthusiasm needs to oe tem
pered with sound judgment lest too many needy men fare
out into the hills, poorly provisioned and inadequatelyquip
red with practical knowledge of gold mining.
? So Soon, Alas, So Soon
IN the 1930"campaign the granges were entertaining Julius
L. Meier at dinner. The plumpest yaller-legged chickens
were roasted, and the fruits of the orchard and garden as
i sembled to honor a fellow member who was out to save the
i state from the octopus of the power trust And Mr. Meier
responded magnificently. He did not quite don blue-bibbed
overalls from his basement store, but he did claim mem
bership in and allegiance to the grange and patrons of hus

Calm and smiling, as

of every peril, did ka now appear.
It waa incredible that a man should
meet hia fata so gallantly.
Sir Henry, standing below sum
and a little aside, looked up to meet
tha Frenchman's debonair smile
with a seowL whilst tha bead and
shoulders of da Bernis servant,
Pierre, began to coma into view as
ha climbed dose in kia masters

"Which Is only another way of
saying that I am as good as my

you prefer it. It needs a thief to

"Ok? mm!" said Sir Henry. "He

la the great cabin of toe Royal
Mary sat Miss Priadlla with Major
Sands, Sir Henry Morgan, and
Monsieur de Bernis. It was by the
Frenchman's request that those
ether twe bad been brought below,
se that they might learn at the
same time what yet remained to be
learnt in explanation of events
which they had so closely shared.
They were seated about the table,
and with them sat Captain Al
dridge, a spare, lantern-jawed, middle-aged
man of a sallow complex
ion, who, under the Admiral, Six
Henry Morgan, commanded the
Royal Mary.
Monsieur de Bernis waa quietly
talking, giving them closer details
of the adventure and of the man
ner in which he had gone about
carrying out his undertaking to se
cure the coveted bead of Tom
Leach,
Priseflla, ao abruptly lifted out
of her terrible apprehensions, sat
with senses still swimming from
the shocks they had sustained that
morning, scarcely daring to credit
what she heard and what ahe had
seen. Major Sands was wrapped in
gloom. His feelings were mixed and
fraught with apprehensions. He
could not even pretend that he re
joiced in this solution, although be
could scarcely yet analyze hia true
feelings.
Morgan alone was la high glee,
despite tha fact that be had lost a
wager of fire hundred pounds. Re
lieved of the shadow that had been
banging erer aim, the dread of
drastic action ngalnst him at
Whitehall if Tom Leach were to
continue bis ravages upon the seas,
he was boUtaronaly hilarious. Once
