My six years ex- j
perieuce as gov
ernor-general ofl
the Philippine Is i
lands have con
vinced me that the
Filipino people are
ready and tit to
have their inde
pendence. 1 have
recommended to
Congress, as well

that independence
be granted.

Gov. Gen. Harrison
As to the question of the stability of
government, 1 wish to say to the Am
erican people upon my responsibility
as the govecnor-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 1 under
stand It, also by Mr. Hoot—namely, a
government elected 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 glud to go on record as be
ing entirely In sympathy with the as
pirations of the Filipino nation for In
dependence.
I have recommended to Congress
that iu granting independence some
provision Ite made similar to what Is
known as the Platt amendment In the
treaty with Cuba, which restricts the
ability of tiie new republic In borrow
ing of foreign governments and hIijo
permits the United States to Interfere
with the affairs of the new republic In
case conditions of disorder should he
found to prevail. Such recommenda
tion does not come as an expression of
the views of the Filipinos; it Is my
own view of what would be desirable
to secure a feeling of confidence and
satisfaction on the part of all persons
who have already Invested money In
the Philippines or who contemplate do
ing so In the near future.
But It Is not right that Independence
Itself should longer be delayed.
• By temperament, by experience, by
financial ability, in every way, the
11,000,000 Filipinos are entitled to
he 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 1 have met anywhere
In the world.
These officials are todny governing
1 . 0 (H) municipalities and forty-two
provinces, economically, efficiently and
for the good of the entire people. They
have a native congress, including ttiuny
graduates of Yale, Princeton, Harvard
and other American universities. Oth
er members nre graduates of Santo To
mas and other Philippine universities,
and In education and ability they com
pare favorably with any 1 know.
Tltçy have leaders like Speaker Os
niena of the House of Representatives
and Président Quezon of the Senate
who would adorn any office.
The Philippines are away ahead of j
the United States In successful govern- j
ment ownership and operation of pule 1
lie utilities.

The government took hold of the

profit of 1 , 000,000 pesos a year more
than under private ownership.

The movement for Independence Is
a peaceful one. No territory was more

A MISREPRESENTED RACE.
The Filipino people are n much ml«,
represented race. The frequent pub
lication of pictures of semi-naked Min
danao Moros and Igorotes has caused
a great many Americans to hellgv«
they are typical of the Inhabitants of
the Philippines. Such Is far from the
case, however. Of 11,000.000 Inhab
itants of the Islands, 10.500,000 are a
Christian, civilized people with p cul
ture and refinement thet will compar*
very favorably with that of other na
tions. The Filipino women are excep
tionally modest. A street filrtatlon la
Manila, so far as a Filipino woman li
concerned, is something that I» almost
unknown, as any American »hat haa
visaed Maaila will tes.ify.

I probably little dreamed that some day

would visit the city
. of Washington and would be given a
great reception at the famous Con
gressional Club I And that the wives
of 120 members of the American Con
gress and two wives of members of the
President's cabinet would call upon
her to pay their respects!
But nil this actually happened when
Miss Carmen Agulnaldo, his nineteen
year-oid daughter, visited Washington
recently. And those wives of the Am
erican statesmen expressed themselves
as both charmed and surprised'at the
refined, tactful, college educated young
miss who greeted them.
"Miss Agulnaldo was simply delight
ful," was the expression of one con
gressman's wife. "She was very mod

Filipino Army,

On another occasion while In Wash
tngton Miss Agulnaldo was given a real
ovation by a Fllipino-Amerlean audi
ence when she recited "My Last Fare
well." poem of Dr. Jose itlzal, the Fil
ipino martyr.
Miss Agulnaldo Is a student at the
University of Illinois, Urbnnn, III
While In Washington she was th.
guest of Mrs. Jaime C. deVeyra, wife
of one of the resident commissioners
from the Philippines. The Capitol
building and the Congressional library
appealed particularly to the young
Flllpina, while the beautiful sights
from the Washington monument thrill
ed her with delight. When asked how
she liked America, she stalled und an
swered :
"It Is a wonderful country. I didn't
like winter at first, but since I have

Miss Agulnaldo Is Intensely patriotic.
