PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
NEW FORM OF CONTROL Satisfaction with the Philippine Government since control was handed over to it by the United States was expressed by Mr. L. D. Harris, a leading American attorney from C-ebu, Philippine Islands, who arrived on a visit to New Zealand by the Mariposa yesterday. Indications were for good conditions in the islands during the five-year period before duties are charged on produce from thero entering the United States. This was practically tho only market for the islands at present, and unless trade relations could be straightened out before the end of the period or markets for the principal products —copra, hemp, sugar, tobacco and gold —established elsewhere, tho territory would lie faced with very hard times. A trade commission had been appointed to try and work out a solution with the United States.
