VETERANS IN LETTER TO COMMANDER Washington, Sept. 5,—President Harding has been compelled “because of the requirements of public busi ness” to decline the invitation of the G. A. R. to attend its 55th national encampment to be held in Indianapolis the week of September 25. The Presi dent’s reply to the Hon. William F. Ketcham, Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. R., states that it is with the profoundest regret that he cannot at tend, but at that time it will be abso lutely impossible for him to absent himself from Washington. Continu ing, he says: “I am'sure that I do not need to tell you that if it were among the possibilities you would be assured of my immediate and eager acceptance. “The years will not be many more during /which it will be possible for us to pay the tribute of love and rever ence to the men who served their country during the crucial struggle of its existence. Their services, neith er we nor our posterity can ever for get. As the years pass and the trt mendousness ioT that conflict is in perspective magnified rather than di minished in our eyes, we realize more and more what a supreme effort was put forth during those fbur tremend uos years for the cause of human free dom and the unity of our own beloved country. The heroes of those years taught us the lessons and handed dov»i to us the inspiration which have done most to insure the maintenance of the national honor and integrity through the decades which have since passed.

Washington, Sept. 5.—An address of Bishop Charles Brent, of the Epis copal diocese of New York, before the International Political and Economic Institute at Williamstown, Mass., and a series of advertisements running in financial papers offering for sale Philippine Government bonds have a very intimate relation. Bishop Brent, for years bishop in the Philippines, has only reecntly re turned to this country. In his address before the Institute a few days ago he said, speaking of the American policy in those islands: - “There are two criticisms to bo made of the last administration in Washington. The first is, that where as all appointments to Philippine offi ces had formerly been made without regard to American politics, after 1913 the partisan line was very sharply drawn. The second is, that whereas men of real leadership had always be fore been sent to high office there, in recent years the men sent had been of the kind who were content merely to find out what the Filipinos want and give them their desire.” The distressing financial conditions in the Philippines by which the gov ernment itself is practically bankrupt and all private business prostrated is a direct result of Democratic admin istration described by Bishop Brent. It was to relieve this situation that the Congress recently authorized the Philippine government to increase its indebtedness by $15,000,000 and to raise which bonds are noKv being sold. At the- time the Congress took action, it being an emergency measure, the National Bank of the Islands was insolvent and on the verge of closing its doors. It had lost not only private funds deposited with it, but about $50, 100,000 Philippine government funds, ts closing would have utterly wreck 'd all business in the islands, as it had nade heavy loans to many of the lead ng commercial and industrial enter prises. Many of the large enterprises >f .the islands were about to be fore dosed by foreign interests, which were .'agerly awaiting that opportunity to tet firmly entrenched in the islands. Eight years ago the Philippine bank ind business in the islands were in ex •ellent condition. The World War vastly increased the exports of the slands and also increased their value, fhe critical financial conditions and drtual bankruptcy of the government s due, not to economic conditions, but o the inefficient governnment at the Philippines under the Wilson adminis ration. Saturated with the same inti-imperialism idea that was the lemocratic paramount issue in Bry in’s 1900 campaign against McKin py the administration proceeded to put hese ideas into effect. Although re ponsible for the manner in which the slands were managed politically and conomically the Democrats practi ally turned the government over to latives and let them do as they pleas ed. Affairs fall into the hands of a action of the Filipino politicians with the resalt that at the end of eight years the Philippines are in a worse shape than at any time since the United States took possession of them. Politically, things are in a mess. The virtual abdiction of the Demo cratic appointees left the native poli- ' ticians free to stir up trouble ana re kindle fires of*" dissatisfaction with American policies. Economically and financially, affairs could hardly be worse. The' management of the gov ernment bank was turnend over by the Democratic administration to in competent natives with the above mentioned results. The Harding administration imme diately dispatched American bankers to take charge of the islands’ finances in an efideavor to prevent absolute ruin. The Congress passed the emer gency resolution increasing the Phili ppine legal indebtedness by $16,000, 000. But it will take a long time and hard work to overcome the evil effects of eight years of Democratic mis management and the Wilsonian idea of self-determination as applied to the islanders.
