ISSUES REPORT OK ISLANDS WA8HINQTON, Not. JS. Secre tary Garrison of tbs War department Issued a formal statement today sharply arraigning former President William A. TaU for baring lent bis name to what are termed "state ments mendacious in character and mischievous in intent" with relation to conditions In the Philippine islands under the present administra tion. Circulation of these state ments,' Mr. Garrison charges, show plainly "that the republican politi cians are attempting to lay the foun dation for campaign material with respect to the Philippine islands." ' 'articular attention la s ven by the sec retary to article written r.y O. Garf.eld Joea and published In a Cailf imla news paper, and later republished in ramrblet form under tha till "l'nhajpy CnJI tlona In the Philippine Islands," with an Introduction by Mr. Taft. The Introduc tion attributed the conditions desoriled to the "blind and foolish policy of Presi dent Wilson and Governor General Har rison." barriioi'i Letter. In connection with his comment Mr. Garrison makes public a letter which ha aays waa written recent y by Jonea to the department asking where a news paper market m!ht be found fjr a "much better article'' whlA he had pre jiared on 'The Filipinos and tha Keino rrallc Regime." declared to be highly favorable to the administration. The statement follows: - "It la becoming very plain that the re publican politicians are attempting to lay tha foundation for campaign material w.th respect to the Philippine inland. Thera have recently appeared a aorles of interviews or article exhibiting a shame )es Intention In thla matter. These stale rnenta are memlacloua in character and mischievous in Intent. Many of them proceed from sources so Inconsiderable as to carry little It any weight, even If tindenled. Others, however, are fathered ty men whose names and prominence supposedly lend - weight to their utter a noes. It la Inconceivable that even par tlaan eal would lead these men to S stultify themselves. "Realising that the honor and good faith of this nation were Involved In Its relatione to tha Illiplno psople, 1 have absolutely abstained from any partisan comment or conduct with respect to this subject Tha United States took over an enormous responsibility which should be carried out In the highest spirit of good faith and altruism, and all those who respect tha good name of this country should at least refrain from misrepre sentation and falsa statements Concern ing conditions. Coeoelred la Beat Spirit. 1 "Tha government Instituted In the ' Islands toy tha United States waa con ceived In tha beat spirit and has In the main been carried out in the moat worthy way. Such mistakes as have been made were only such as are Inevitable In the conduct of human affairs. That govern ment has been continued In the same 'spirit by ths present administration, and conditions, govemme ntally considered, wer . never batter than they are In tha Philippine Islands today. "Tha bill which was pending In ths last congress, and which will be brought before tha next congress. Is exactly In Una wltfh all that has heretofore bean dona in the Islands, and Is simply ths next proper logical atep to be taken to ward developing tha people thereof for elf-government. No honest reading and consideration of ths measure can lead to any other conclusion. Because ths pre amble of that bill repeated In concrete languasa that which has bean substan tially slated to be the position or this country from ths time of President Mo lnley on down, It has been falsely labeled an "independence" bill, and the Impres sion has bean widely conveyed that It alters la some vital, radical way the or derly progress tha self-development of th Filipino people. . Such an Interpreta tion creates an absolutely fats Impres sion. "President Taft, whan governor general tf tha Philippine . Islands, waa ths first one to aanounce that th etnotto of the Americas administration was the Philip pines for tha FUlplnoa,' H sproparty and bitterly resented criticisms against him for taking this position. Ha constantly stated that thla was tha only position which anyone, acting in good faith and with tbs honor of his government la his keeping, oould take; that from tbs very heglnnlOsT thla was ths announced policy ef thla country constantly Iterated and reiterated by tha presidents of this coun try, by Its representatives, and by Its congress. No one had so plainly set forth aa has President Taft tha malicious mis representations, tha mendacious state ments and the vicious aocaul ts that pro ceed from those In the Philippine Islands, v fcsj are not permitted to exploit tha na tive an dlhs country for their own bene fit. Taft Jeetlfled la attack. -President Taft waa absolutely Justified in bis bitter denunciation of those at tacks, which makes It all the more amaa Ing to find him Indulging In exactly the same conduct toward those who are now occupying positions of trust and respon sibility I nthe Philippine government. "There lately appeared a series of ar ticles in a newspaper called tha Oakland Tribune. Subsequently they were pub lished In a pamphlet entitled The Un- fcappy Conditions in the Philippine lal and.' by O. Garfield Jonea, 'former PMI Ipplne department of education, with aa Introduction by ex-President William Howard, taft. former governor general of the Phlltpplnoa.' In he Introduction ex President Taft aays: " 'I have read with much Interest Mr. O. Oarfteld JoneS' article on present con dillon in the hPtllpplnes. published re cently in the Oakland Tribune.
