FEARS PROGRESS
IN THE PHILIPPINES
Tuft Thinks Wilson Jh Oeing Too Fust.
TalkH of 1?H Hun.
New York, Nov. lit. -Speaking on
"Holding tho Phlllioplnos' before, tho
Brooklyn Institute of Arts and science
tonight, ex-l'rosldcnl William II. Taft
attacked tino policy of the Wilson ad
ministration as demonstrated In lio
nets of Oovornor General Francis
Hurton Harrison slnco he took over
the rains of govornmout of tho Islands
early last month.
Mr. Taft spoke al length on the
history of the American occupation
with which he bad boon connected as
governor general, secretary of war ami
as president almost continuously from
Hint) to 1013, ending this pan of his
discourse with the statement that
in his belief the great uneducated ;
mass of the IMilllplnos, which must bo
protected, was not ready for self
gOVOrnmeilt and would not he ready
for another generation.
He took exception to the policies of
President Wilson in grunting more
powers In tie- government and legis
lation to the Filipino "politicians."
"Are wo to t It'll those islands over
to an oligarchy of orators who be
lieve in aristocracy, have no real con
ception of lud Vidual liberty aiol no
capacity for successful popular gov
ernment"? Mr. Taft asked. Continu
ing, he declared that the "minute the
strong background of a powerful gov
ernment is withdrawn the difficulties
between the Moros, who have a racial
hatred for the Phlllplnos, will at once
develop. The Moros have notified us
that they will not stand Filipino gov
ernment.
"The declaration of the administra
tion,'' contlntued the spdaker, "that
they are looking forward to ultimate
Independence has been accepted by
the Filipino politicians as a great
boon, although Mr. McKinley. Mr.
Iloosovell and I promised it from the
first, hut wo were a little more definite
in saying we did not think it was
Coming for a generation or more. The
present administration llxos no time
but their attitude heretofore has !.u
such that the mere declaration of
their intention to furnish ultimate In
dependence is accepted by the Fili
pinos as a promise of early Independ
ence.
Fear I be Put lire.
"When tlie Filipinos Und they are
no nearer independence under Demo
cratic than they were under Republi
can administration they will think
themselves deceived, 'ibis may lead
to disturbances which will have to bo
put down with a strong hand.
"Upon the arrival of Mr. Harrison,
he called for ti e resignation of the
heads of important bureaus in the
islands and announced his Intention
of appointing Filipinos to some of
those places and American from th ?
United states to others. These bu
reaus require a thorough knowledge'
of the Islands ami a technical famil
iarity with especial statutes and bu
reau regulation. I hope this removal
of competent officers is not the rasull
of a tendency towards the spoils sys
tem.
He Hull! 11.
"Word conies that advice from Fil
ipinos was sought by Mr. Harrison,
but none from Americans. It is re
ported that this attitude and the sud
den removals, together with rumors
of reductions of salaries of American
officials, created a panic among the
American civil servants so widespread
that Mr. Harrison in the Moro coun
try found it necessary to send a re
assuring dispatch back to Manila on
the subject. If tin- American civil
service in the Islands breaks down,
disaster certainly will follow.
"When, by whatever hard knocks,!
his representatives shall learn tho
truth as to the conditions in the Is
lands and communicates it to Presi
dent Wilson, I have confidence that
he will direct them to retrace any
steps which have led them away from
the COUl'SO marked out a decade ago
by McKinley and Hoot and success
fully followed down to March I. 1013.
My Confidence is based on the lan
guage used by President Wilson In bis
work on constitutional government in
respect :>) our duty in the Philiplues." |
