By FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON,
Governor-General of ths Philippines.
" (First Article.)
My six years’ ex
perienee as gov-
ernor - general of
the Philippine Is-
lands have con-,
v I need me chat the
Filipino people are
ready and fit to
havt- their Inde-
pendence. I have
recommended t o
Congress, as well
us to the executive
a (1 m i n I st rat Ion,
that Independence
be granted.
As to the question of the stability of
government, I wish to say to the Am-
erican people upon my responsibility
as the governor-general that in my
opinion there exists today in the Phil-
ippine Islands a stable government,
which I'think should answer the re-
quirements laid down by Presidents
Grant and McKinley, and as I under-
stand it, also by Mr. Root—namely, a
government ejected by the suffrage of
the people, which is supported by the
people, which Is capable of maintain-
ing order and of fulfilling Its interna-
tional obligations.
I am very glad to go on record as be-
ing entirely in sympathy with the as-
pirations of the Filipino nation for in-
dependence. __
I have recommended^ttr
that in granting independence some
provision lie made similar to what is
known as the Platt amendment in the
treaty with Cuba, which restricts the
ability of the new republic In borrow-
ing Of foreign governments and also
permits the United States to Interfere
with the affairs of (he new republic in
case conditions of disorder should be
found to prevail. Suck recommenda-
tion does not come as an expression of
the views of the Filipinos; it is tny
own view of what would be desirable
to secure a feeling of confidence and
satisfaction on the part ef all persons
who have already Invested money in
tba Philippines or who eoatemplate do-
ing so in the near future. ;——
But it is not-jrtght that .Independence
Itself should longeF be delayed.
By temperament, bjr experience, by
financial ability, In every way, the
11,000,000 Filipinos are entitled to
be free from every government except
of their own choice. They are intelli-
gent enough to decide for themselves.
I have found the native Filipino of-
ficial to he honest, efficient and as ca-
pable of administering executive posi-
tions as any men I have met anywhere
In the world.
These officials are today governing
1,000 municipalities and forty-two
provinces, economically, efficiently and
for the goqd of the entire people. They
have a native congress, Including ninny
graduates of Tale, Princeton, Harvard
and other American universities. Oth-
er members are graduates of Santo To-
mas and other Philippine universities,
and in education and ability they com-
pare favorably with any I know.
They have leaders like Speaker Os
mena of the House of Representatives
gnd President Quezon/of the Senate
who would adorn any office.
The Philippines are awny ahead of
the United States In'successful govern-
ment ownership and operation of pub-
lic utilities.
The government took hold of the
Steam railways and made them pay a
profit of 1,000,000 pesos a year more
than under private ownership.
It took hold of the highways, and
we have 7,000 ikiles of the best mac-
adamized roads In the world. The
Manila City government is about to
take over the street railways and the
gas and electric plants, while the 'ter-
ritorial government Is arranging for
ownership and control, of the coal sup-
ply *
The movement for Independence la
a peaceful one. No territory was more
loyal to Uncle Sam during the war. It
pffered an armed and equipped division
Co our government, gave It a subma-
rine destroyer and oversubscribed Lib-
erty loans and Red-Cross funds.
Two million natives speak English
fluently, and there are 760.000 English
speaking <4il)dren In the public schools.
I am more than willing P> retire If
the Filipinos can be granted what (hey
deserve^—a government like that of the
United States. •.>' .gjj*!**
