Decline in Efficiency Due to
Filipinization of Offices
Majority of People Do Not
Want Independence In
crease in Business.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. Despite
the I'xlruordiimry progress in the pa.st
23 years tile Filipino people have a
Ions road to travel before they will be
ready to take their own government,
according to the report made by
Major General Leonard Wood, gover
nor general of the islands and V.
Cameron Forbes, former governor gen
oral. Tho complete! report was issued
today by tho war department as a sup
plement to the recent publication of
specific recommendations made by the
two Investigators.
Need of further national Improve
ment is minted out by tho report,
which declares, however, that llio ad
ministrative mistakes of the Filipinos
have not been sufficient to counterbal
ance the steadily rising progress
barometer.
"Generally speaking," the report
says, "administrativo departments of
the government are tophcavy in per
sonnel and enmeshed in red tape.
Theer is a vast amount of paper work.
The methods of the administration are
purely autocratic. There is a lack of
suix.'1'vision and personal contact."
Discussing the policy pursued dur
ing t lie administration of Governor
General Harrison from 1!IH to 1921,
the report declarod "the orderly pro
cess of promotion on proved efficiency
In tho government service was chang
ed to a 'hurrleJ Filipinization'." And
continued:.
"While there has been retrogression
in the efficiency of most departments
of tho government during the past few
years, wo do not feel that tho respon
sibility for this rests solely upon the
Filipinos, as the ultimate responsibil-
iity for the selection of responsible of
ficers ami lor the exercise of proper
supervision was in the hands of the
i American governor general whose
iduty it was to appoint competent men
jat tile heads of departments anil hur
eaus and above all, to exercise proper
i supervision over them.
"It is the general opinion among
Filipinos. Americans and foreigners
that the public services are now in
I many particulars relatively inefficient.
that there has occurred a slowing
down in the dispatch of business and
a distinct relapse lowurd the stan
dards and administrativo habits of for-
jnier days. This is due in part to bad
example, incompetent direction, to di
i rection, to political infection of the
services and above all to lack of com
petent supervision and inspection."
The report asserts that the Filipino
people as a whole do not want inde-
i pendeiice while many who favor sev
jeranee of American ties do not com
prehend the resiwnsibilities of self
government.
j Economic conditions are favorably
j commented upon anil evidence is sub
j milled by the Wood-Forbes mission
indicating progressive development.
figures show the gross business of
the islands to have increased from
$200,000,000 in 1907 to $Stl3,000.fl00 in
1920. while the total resources of com-
imercial banks rose from J15.00n.000 in
1901', to present estimates of $21a,000,
000. "In view of good earnings, moderate
expenses, inheritent wealth, a small
public debt and backed by the credit
of tho Vnitcd States," the report said,
"the problem of rehabilitating the
credit of tho Philippine Islands should
be an easy one."
The report recites the story of the
Philippine bank ns "one of tho most
unfortunate and dark pages in Philip
pine history."
Losses sustained by the bank are
estimated at $22,500,000 and are said
to have been caused by mismanage
ment on the part of some of those who
have been at its head and in charge of
branch offices. Criminal charges have
been preferred against the managers
of each of the four brunches in which
examinations have been completed,
the report cites, adding that they wore
in each instance in charge of untrained
Filipinos.
Tho mission reports that "inspectors
of election" required under the laws to
prepare ballots for illiterate voters,
supply a "fruitful source of frauds.
The election machinery is practically
in tile hands of tho dominant pnrtieH
and the inspectors of elections aro too
often their tools." the report Hays.

MISS HERBER
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. (Uy the
Associated I'ress.) I'.eeause of her
vital interests in the l-'ur Hust. Hol
land is desirous o( assistinK In every
way in the settlement of problems re
latinc to that part of the world, .lonk-
heer II. A. VKiiKarneheek. minister j
of i'oreinn affairs of The Netherlands1
and delegate from that country to the j
Washington conference, told the As
sociated Press today in an interview.
"Wo have been very glad to come
to the Washington ' conference,"
Jonkheer VanKarneheelc said, "be
cause, although we have no special
engagements in connection with
China an other powers have and al
though we are not Interested In quite
the saino way as other powers aro in j
the Far Kastern problems still every-!
tiling that affects tho situation there .
may be of great Importance to us.
"We have in the Far Kast an em
pire of more than fifty million inhab
itants covering an .area equal to
nearly half of Europe. That empire
is the source of great riches not only
to us hu the world at large, and real
izing this, the policy of The Nether
lands is a liberal one, giving opportu
nities for all foreign Interests. The
population of our Kast Indies is
chiefly composed of people of Mus
sulman creed, but there aro also near
ly one million riilnese. If one
thinks of the significance of these
colonies it is easy to understand that
we watch very closely the develop
ment of tho discussion in the Wash
ington conference.
"Our policy is devoid of an am
bition Btnndlng in tho way of other
powers, except tho ambition to hold
our own."
Asked about the prospective reor
ganization of Holland's navy, ho said:
"This program is the result of an
inquiry of a state commission nnd
provides means for tho defense of
the colonial empire nnd the fulfill
ment of international obligations in
case it might be necessary to main
tain the neutrality of the state. As
a result of this inquiry, Holland has
given up the idea of building cap
ital ships and consequently has al
ready been moving in' the direction

ing now.
"Holland is satisfied with a suffi
cient defensive navy, composed of
smnll vessols.

of sports, is the oiiginntor of the
world-wide movement to honor the

idea in tho French papers, pleading
that France should honor her ,1011,000

Idea was permitted to lapse. Finally

originated, followed suit. The photo

nothing aggressive in this reorganiza
tion of tho Dutch navy. Holland
wants to be a factor of peace In the
world and believes In the fruitful ef
fects of International cooperation.
She does not particlpato in the de
liberations of the conference on arm
aments and is satisfied in no doing
so but if this conference is extending
its Bcope of activities to regulations
connected with tin conductance of
war and the use of means of destrnc
lion, then the Interests also of states
which are not now In conference may
become involved."
ltet'erring to tho first nnd Bocond
Hague conferences where he said all
powers were privileged to take part in
deliberations on the question of rules
of wurfuro, Jonkheer Karnebeek em
phasized the opinion that It might be
a backward step if .the laying down
of such rules were undertaken by tho
five powers represented in tho arms
negotiations without the participa
tion or other nations.
Expressing a strong hopo that tho
conference would result in a lessen
ing of world tension, The Netherlands
foreign minister declared that to ac
complish this It must consider the
great economic problem which lies
behind political problems and Is al
ready a menace to tho world's wel
furo. .
"This problem is tho real trou
Mo and there is no use dealing with
political questions when ut tho same
time tho economic aspect is not takeu
into consideration," ho asserted.
