Co .migsioner to the U. S.
THE CHILDREN OF THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSIONER.
The Baby of Thli Croup Speaki Three Language! Vlsayan. Spanish and
English.
I'enutt us to present the De Veyra
family.
The Hon. Jaime C. de Veyra Is the
Keslilent (.'onimlssliiiier from the Phil
ippine Islands to Uie t'nllecl Suites und
hus lust been elected to 11 second term
of three years. As Itesnlent I'onunls-1
sloner he bus a sent 011 the tloor of j
the American Congress, the privilege
of taking part in iiemncs, uiiiiougu uu
vote.
Commissioner de Veyra has an Inter
esting wife and four bright Filipino
kiddies. The He Veyra fiiniily, Individ
ually and collectively, constitute the
best argument as to the tact and capa
bilities of Filipinos that the I'hlllpplue
Islands have In Washington.
Tike commissioner Is a 100 per cent
Filipino, a V'isayan, and Is one of the
foremost leaders of the party in power
In the Islands. During Anyrlcan occu
pation he has been successively gov
ernor of his province, member of the
Philippine legislature, cabinet mem
ber ajid executive secretnry of the
Islands.
Like many statesmen of the Philip
pines, he was originally a newspaper
man. He was one of ttie founders of
El Nuevo Dla of Culm, the Urst Fili
pino paper published advocntlnj Phil
ippine Independence 'the paper mule
under the censorship of General Mc
Iiityrn, and on the appearanco of the
first number the editors were left In
the singular position of seeing every
prominent article blue penciled.
Mrs. de Veyra, like her husband, Is
a "live wire" In the Philippines' cause.
She Is the best known Klllplna In
America. She Is an Interesting public
..aukar and la constantly giving Illus
trated lectures at women'! clubs and
other gatherings. Mrs. de Veyra Is a
publicity bureau all In herself and hi s
put the Philippines on the uinp. so fur
aa the women folk of Washington con
gressional circles are concerned.

not nieuu to Infer we are perfect, fur
we are not. My people have most of
the defects, I suppose, tlult oilier till
limns have, but at the same lime we
are fur from the people that ninny
Americans have been made to believe.
Not only are we a Christian people,
hut our race has a history that we are
not ashamed of. Throughout the Phil
ippine Islands the people are now
working earnestly to Improve them
selves and their conditions so they will
be prepared to take over their own af
fairs. We all love America for giving
us a chance to help ourselves and for
having promised us our Independence,
which Is one of the dourest desires ef
the entire citizenship o the Islands."
To American women whose Ideas of
Filipinos have been fuuuded on Sun
day supplement descriptions of wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyra'a gentle manner
and evident culture have been a reve
lation. She Is sought h" w omen's clubs

FILIPINOS WANT
AMERICA TO GIVE
INDEPENDENCE
Maximo M. Kalaw Declares U. S.
Cannot Consistently Refuse
"Self-Determination."
By MAXIMO M. KALAW,
Baorsury of lh Philippine Ulnlun, Ai
mer "The Case fur tbi Filipinos,"
"8Jf-Oovrnmnt In the
Philippines." sto.
"When they show sufficient capaci
ty," "When they are able to govern
themselves,"
"When they
are educated
enough." Thus
run the answers
of many Ameri
cans pressed with
the question aa to
when the Filipi
nos should be
granted their In
dependence. Now,
"ability," "capaci
ty" and "suffi
cient education"
What do they
Maximo M. Kalaw. ,,, black
and white?
Senator Shogtin may think no people
Is cupable of self-government that does
not establish the Judicial recall, or that
has no Billy Sunday. John Smith of
Sotnervllle may think no people Is
capable of self-government that does
not vole his democratic ticket, or go to
church on Sundays.
"Capacity for self-government" la as
broad and elastic as the world, and If
that should he the criterion for the
grunting of Philippine Independence,
America might as well say to the Fili
pinos, "1 will give yen Independence
w hen It pleases me to do so."
Fortunately, the American promise
to the Philippines Is not based on such
obscure and abstract conditions. It Is
based on a deltnlte sellable thing.
W hen America, through her Congress,
officially told the Filipino people that
they would be grunted their lndei eod-
ence as soon as they could establish a
stable government, ne abstract or ob
scure condition wss meant Stable
government, according to American
usage, meaBS a certain, delalte thing.
The United Ststes promised the Cu
bans the same thing, that "when they
have established a stable government,
then American troops would be with
drawn." As soon as the Cuban people
elected a government suited to them
selves, capable of maintaining order
and fulfilling all International obliga
tions, there ma a stable government
In Cuba, and American troops were
withdrawn.
When Congress passed the Jones
law, It simply borrowed the phrase
stable government" from the Cuban
history and applied It to the Philip
pines. The history of Philippine leg
islation shows that In black and white.
With full knowledge of what It meant,
the Filipino people accepted the Jones
law and Immediately began setting up
the stable government required by Con
gress as a pre-requisite to Independ
ence. The stable government is now
a fact. It Is indeed more than that ; It
Is an undisputed fact.
The official representative of the
United States In the Philippine Islands,
the Governor General, reported to the
American Congress and the administra
tion that "the Filipino people have es
tablished the stable government de
manded by Congress ss a prerequisite
for the granting of Independence
namel;, a government elected by the
uffrage of the people, which Is sup
ported by the people, which Is capable
of maintaining order and of fulfilling
Its International obligations."
The Philippine question Is therefore
no longer a question ef politics, arga
nient or supposition. To the Philip
pine mind, at least, It Is aow a ques
tion of whether the Tolled States is
ready to discharge Its own obligations
fully and completely. America went
before the world In the recent war as
the avowed champion jf "self-determi
nation" and Filipinos cannot see how
America can consistently refuse to act.
The Filipino people, however, have
no grudge or grievance against the
American people. Theirs Is a message
of friendship and gratitude. They seek
Independence as the natural and log
ical outcome of America's policy In
the Islands and of America's solemn
promise to them. They come willing
to give privileges at I concessions not
Incompatible with 'heir national wel
fare. The Filipino people are willing to
accept Independence under any of the
following conditions: Putter a League
of Nations, guaranteeing Its territorial
Integrity; under the protectorateshlp
of the Culled States for the 8rst few
years ; under n treaty nf neutrality be
tween the United States, F.nglnnd, Ja
pan, France and other powers), or even
without any condition whatever sbro
lute and complete Independence. They
have no fesr of Japan. Philippine In
dependence, In our opinion, Is not Inim
ical to Japanese Interests. The Japa
nese are now free to cotoe to the Phil
ippines, but at the present time there
are less than 10.0U0 Japanese In the
Islands. There are all times as many
Japanese In California as there are In
the entire Philippine Archipelago.
The Filipinos are willing to take
their chance aa a nation. Smaller na
tlons beset by graver problems and
dangr' oave taken a more liazardour
