FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE
Will the Japanese bogie keep the
Filipinos from the independence which
they seek?
It was definitely promised to them
by this country when they could show
themselves capable of orderly self
government. For the past several
years, they have been virtually inde
pendent. Except in the question of
foreign relations, the United States
has permitted the islanders to test
their own capacity for political con
trol. During these years, they have
made social, political and business
progress which they produce as evi
dence to support their claim that they
are ready for complete sovereignty.
Francis Burton Holmes, governor
general during these years when they
have been testing themselves in self
rule, is convinced that they are ready
to sever the few political ties which
still bind them to the United States.
The Filipinos themselves, are so
confident of their own ability to main
tain a stable government, that a dele
gation of forty, headed by Senator
Manuel L. Quezon, is now in this coun
try. Their formal plea has been pres
ented to Secretary of War Baker who
received it sympathetically and read
to them a letter from President Wil
son assuring them that Philippine in
dependence is almost in sight.
But only congress can grantinde^
Itmam itown
which will have that power, will be
predominantly Republican. Also,
throughout this country there is an
underlying fear that with the strong
protecting arms of the United States
removed, the island people may find
themselves unable to protect them
selves from “self-seeking, highly or
ganized and aggressive colonizing na
tions.” In short, many who are in
thorough sympathy with the desire of
the Filipinos for self-determination,
fear that they are not yet strong
enough to resist the imperialistic de
signs of the Japanese.
Japan’s recent insistence upon the
transfer to Japan of all German rights
in Kiau-Chau, and to economic control
of Shantung province, does not weak
en that fear. Granting Japan’s de
mands has immeasurably strengthened
that nation. Already, there are many
who predict that the United States
must look ahead and be prepared to
protect itself against every form of
aggression by that nation. These pro
phets do not want Japanese influence
to spread over the islands as it has
over China.
And they insist that we must main
tain a naval station there.
Those who sympathize with the Fili
pinos and who feel that independence
should be granted to them at least on
the same basis as to Cuba, argue that
if the league of nations is established
It will protect the Philippines from
foreign aggression. With this fear re
moved, it is hard to see how we can
consistently thrust our paternal super
vision upon them. But until the league
of nations is established, it would
seem wise not to abandon a people so
recently trained in the art of self-gov
ernment, to the designs of an am
bitious nation which has shown but
little consideration to the claims of the
Koreans and Chinese for self-deter
mination. Why should it be more con
siderate in its attitude toward the
Filipinos?
A CONQUEROR'S PEACE
Of course the terms given to Ger
many are harsh. They should be harsh.
|f the punishment was commensurate
with the crime there would be no Ger
many. It is probably a mistake on the
part of the nations at the peace table
not to dismember the central, powers,
because if the Germans again attain
the rank of a first class power by years
of heart-breaking efTort they will seek
revenge so long as the memory of this
peace endures. The present power of
German militarism is broken but the
sullen vindictive temper of the people
remains. It is this with which the
allies will have to deal and the grave
possibility of a secret understanding
between Russia and Germany. There
can be no guaranty of Germany’s per
manent reformation while there re
mains an opportunity for coalition be
tween these two countries.
It should be not forgotten that the
present peace is a conqueror’s peace.
It will remain in effect Just so long as
the nations imposing it have the
power to enforce it and no longer.
Perhaps a league of nations will be
able to keep the peace but until the
experiment is successfully tried the
United States will do well to have a
navy and an army second to none.
