PASSAGE
PHILIPPINE BILL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Why the
administration is insisting upon the
.passngo o Uio pending bill to enlarge
tlio measure of self-government of
tlio Philippine islands was explained
to tho ficntito Philippine eommittee
lodny by Secretary Onrrison.
In n long prepared slnlcmcnt ho de
clared tho measure had been im
properly termed "tho Philippine in
dependence bill," and thai it was
merely n Htcp with proper safeguards
toward self-government ntid exactly
'in line with promises held out to the
Filipinos for years by tho United
States.
The preamble, which would declare
tho intention of the United States
dlimotely to grout complete inde
pendence, to the islands, Secretary
'Harrison said, was but n repetition of
pledgfes already mndo over and over
again.
Conditions Improving
What the next htcp should be, when
it should be taken, what, conditions
would properly surround the grant of
absolute independence and other like
speculations, it seems to mo are idlo
and their consideration at this time
would only bo confusing."
In view of "the recent exaggerated
accounts of petty disturbances in the
islands," the secretary said it was
particularly interesting to note that
former President Tnft, when governor-general
of the islands, Imd said
that rb n result of the attitude of the
.American press and of the American
merchant in his hostility to tho Fili
pino, "every smnll Lndrono fight, ev
ery discomfort the constnbulnry suf
fered was exaggerated and made the
bants for inference that conditions in
tho islands were retrograding rather
than improving."
To Keep Pledges
"What tho United Strftcs should do
concerning the Philippines," snid Mr.
Onrrison in opening his statement,
"can only bo determined projcrly by
keeping two things constantly in
mind: One, tho duty of the United
States to itself; aiid tho other, it
duty in viow of the pledges and as
surances it bus made to tho Filipino
people.
"The United States has assumed
responsibilities with rcsject to tlic(
Philippines which, in the highest
spirit of self-respect, it must dis
charge rightfully nt whatever cost.
"Tho bill is so framed as to pro
vido unothcr step along tho line of
self-government. Tho wisdom and
propriety of it can only bo determin
ed by keeping in mind tho two view
points adverted to and by considering
jho hihtory of our relations to the
ll'liilippincs and tho present situation
"therein. a
Accept Responsibility
"Wo hnvo entire hope," ho said,
"thnt tho Filipinos will accept this
lidded responsibility and make such
good use of the opportunity as to
demonstrate its widum and prepare
tho way for the next onwnrd move.
"It is difficult to sco whut proucr
objection can bo mado to tho ro
visious of tho bill itself," snid the
secretary in conclusion. "If we con
sidered it, as I have insisted before
that wo should, in view of our duty
to ourxelvcs and to tho nation, and in
view of our obligations to the Fili
pino people, as made on our behalf bv
those speaking for us, o find that
it fully measures up to our obliga
tions in each respect. Good faith o
those to whom wo have pledged our
selves requires us to stay as long as
wo must; and good will to tho island
ers, in accordance with our pldges
and assurances, requires us to stay
no longer than is necessary to test
and roach conclusions as to their ca
pacity in managing their own af
fairs." ORGANIZING A BEET
