Here's a Real rgument
For Philippine Independence

A Typical Philippine Homestead
: The Tnited Str.tes Isn't the only
"country that has homesteaders those
enterprising pioneers who leave thick
ly populated districts and take their
V families Into virgin territory to create
homes for themselves. The Philippine
islands have thousands of thrifty home
- eteaders. Vs.

tnre of a Christiun Filipino homestead-
er and his family war PlkJt, Cotaboto
' .province, Mindanao. P. L Five years
' ago he was a cab driver working for
i low wages at C'ebn, a thli-kly populated
city. He went Jnto the then wilderness
I of Mindanao, planted hemp and cocoa
nuts, paid for his land and has be-
come wealthy. Thousands of similar
i instances could be cited. One Mindanao
homesteader is worth $200,000.
