PRESIDENT PAYS ELOQUENT
TRIBUTE TO G. A. R. 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.

EIGHT YEARS RUINOUS
RULE OF PHILIPPINES
COMES TO CONCLUSION
Conditions in Islands Worse Than Any
Time Since United States Took
Possession.
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.
