MISCONSTRUED
(Sditcrial)
Following is a clipping from
Arthur Brisbanu's column TODAY:
'Our Filipino friends oh.or Hgnry
L. Stimson, American 10v.rnor ge
neral, on his darlrturc. A chang:
unquestionably sincere has come
over tho Filipino: and th;ir des
ire to bu fr.c and novarn th.m
selves. Those few words made the
change: 'OF course. if you bccoro
independent of America, sugar
sent b} you to the United Status
will bu tnxed.’ That would mean
some million: a year to the Phil
ippinus and the separatists have
seen a great, golden light. Free
dom is magnificent, but not if it
costs too much money.”
Arthur Brisbane, a great Ar-
crioan columnist, has made a great
error. His stat monts are unfcun
dad. The "separatists," as he
calls thsm, have nsvsr swerved
from their treat ideal-~th; inde
pendence of tha Chiliprines. Just
reasons the Filipinos chucrud Stim
son on his departure does not at
all mean that they have ziv;n up
thiir fight for fraudom. what
thuy did was an act of courtesy.
Uhan Leonard Rood, the greatest
exponent of Am:rioan rstwnticnists,
passud away, the Fili;ino people
paid th:ir fittinq homage to that
man. That should not be construed
as nosninf th: ‘ivinq up of thpir
aspiration to ind:rundunce.
?he Filipino reorlo are cons
cious of tho effuct of indincndunnc
to the fre: trade relationship.
still the¥ are readg to giv: up
that priv lago and c indcpundgnt.

th.y hav. not don- it, becaus. they
want to keep that firht going on.
