FILIPINOS WANT
AMERICA TO GIVE
INDEPENDENCE
Maximo M. Kalaw Declares U. S.
Cannot Consistently Refuse
"Self-Determination."
- By MAXIMO M. KALAW,
Secretary of tho 1'hlllpplno Mission, Au
thor "The Case for the Filipinos,"
"Self-Government in the
Philippines," etc
"When they show sufficient capaci
ty," "When they are able to govern
tb ems el ves,"
" When t h o y
aro educated
cnouch." Thus
run tho answers
of many Ameri
cans pressed with
tho question as to
when tho Filipi
nos should be
granted their In
dependence. Now,
"ability," "capaci
ty" and "suffi
cient education"
What do they
, 6 "f
l-?v
Maximo M. Kalaw,
mean
In black
and whlto?
Senator Sliogun may think no people
Is capablo of self-government that docs
not establish the Judicial recall, or that
has no Billy Sunday. John Smith of
Somervillo may think no peoplo la
capablo of self-government that does
not vote his democratic ticket, or go to
church on Sundays.
"Capacity for self-government" Is ns
broad and elastic as the world, and If
that should be the criterion for the
granting of Phlllpplno independence,
America might as well say to the Fili
pinos, "I will give you Independence
when It pleases mo to do so."
Fortunately, tho American promise
to the Philippines Is not based on such
obscure and abstract conditions. It Is
based on a definite selzablo thing.
When America, through her Congress,
ofllclally told tho Filipino peoplo that
they would bo granted their Independ-
Vonco as soon ns they could establish a
atable government, no abstract or ob
euro condition was meant Stable
government, according to American
usage, means a certain, definite thing.
Tho United States promised tho Cu
bans the samo thing, that "when they
have established a stable government,
then American troops would bo with
drawn." As soon as tho Cuban peoplo
elected a government suited to them
selves, capable of maintaining order
and fulfilling all International obliga
tions, there was a stable government
in Cuba, and American troops were
withdrawn.
When Congress passed tho Jones
law, It simply borrowed tho phrase
"stable government" from tho Cuban
history and npplled It to tlio Philip
pines. The history of Phlllpplno leg
islation shows that in black and white.
With full knowledge of what It meant,
tho Filipino peoplo accepted tho Jonea
law and immediately began setting up
tho stablo government required by Con
gress ns a pre-requlslto to independ
ence. Tho stablo government la now
a fact. It la Indeed moro than that ; It
Is an undisputed fact.
Tho official reprcBentatlTe of tho
United States In tho Phlllpplno Islands,
tho Governor General, reported to tho
illf
American Congress and the administra
tion that "thetFUIplno peoplo have es
tablished thQj'yjtablQ government de
manded by .Congress as a pre-requUlto
tor the granting ( of Independence
namely, a government elected by the
suffrago of tho people, which Is sup
ported by tho people, which Is capablo
of maintaining order and of fulfilling
lta International obligations."
The Phlllpplno question Is therefore
no longer a question of politics, argu
ment or supposition. To tho Philip
pine mind, at least, 'ltfis now a ques
tion 6f whether tho United States is
ready to dlscharge'ltsWn obligations
fully nnd completely. ' America went
beforo tho world In the recent war as
tho avowed champion of "self-determination"
and Filipinos cannot see how
America can consistently refuse to act.
Tho Filipino people, however, huvo
no grudge or grlevanco against the
Amerlcau people. Theirs Is a messago
of friendship and gratitude. They seek
Independence as tho natural and log
ical outcome of America's policy in
tho Islands aud of America's solemn
promise to them. They coino willing
to glvo privilege nnd concessions not
incompatible with "their national wel
fare Tho Filipino peoplo nro willing to
accept indopendeneo under any of tho
following conditions: Under a League
of Nations, guaranteeing its territorial
Integrity; under tho protectornteshlp
of tho United States for tho first few
years ; under a treaty of neutrality be
tween tho United States, England, Jo
pan, Franca and other powers, or even
without any condition whatever al)3o
luto and comploto Independence. They
have no fear of Japan. Phlllpplno In
dopondonco, In our opinion, Is not Inim
ical to Japanoso Interests. Tho Japa
nese aro now free to como to tho Phil
ippines, but at tho present time there
aro less than 10,000 Japanese In tho
Islands. Thoro aro six tlrnea as many
Japanoso In California as thero aro In
tho entiro Phlllpplno Archlpolago.
The Filipinos aro willing to take
thoJr chance ob a nation. Smaller na
tions bosot by graver problems and
