PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE
OPPOSITION TO BILL NEWSPAPER POLLS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. MANILA, January 19. Newspaper polls of the entire legislatures of the Philippines to-day revealed overwhelming opposition to the Independence Bill. The approval or the legislatures is necessary before the measure becomes operative. Gcnei aly the objection is based on the • tact that the measure fails to grant immediate independence, and the opposition is also influenced_jby thp that the measure is sponsored by powerful mainland interests, which see the opportunity to impose a tariff on Philippine sugar to protect sugar proAnother reason is the Washington report that the Democrats are considering a riew immediate independence measure after Mr Roosevelt assumes office.
