MANILA, Jan. 8.—More than half
the Americans formerly in the em
ploy of the Philippine government
have been retired since July, 1913.
There are now a few more than 1500
Americans in the service whereas,
four years ago, just before the arrival
of the new Democratic administration,
there were more than 2,600.
Meanwhile there has been a steady
increase naturally in Filipino em
ployes of the government, the list
showing 1,000.
The law which permits Americans
of long service with the government
to retire with a three-year pension
ranging from 66 per cent of a year's
salary to the full amount, is largely
responsible for the number of Amer
ican retirements which have increas
ed very largely since the law was
passed. The past year has seen 400
retirements and the previous year
saw almost as many more.
The policy of the Harrison admin
istration in training Filipinos as ra
pidly as possible for responsible postR
in the government service has made
the successors of these retired Ameri
cans almost entirely Filipinos. This
fact, together with the increasing ac
tivities of the government, due to in
creased prosperity in the islands, is
responsible for the big increase of Fili
pinos in the government service.
