INSPIRED BY CHINA
FILIPINO NATIONALISM MOVE FOR INDEPENDENCE By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 10 a.m. WASHINGTON, Wed. China’s nationalism is spreading to the Philippines and stimulating an intensified campaign for Island independence. The Filipino leaders have expressed their conviction that the political ascendancy of the Cantonese Nationalists will lead to a new balance of power in the Orient counterbalancing Japan’s previous superior political position. Senor Pedro Guevara, resident commissioner of the Philippines in the United States Congress, said that the national aspiration of the Filipino people had been spurred on by the Chinese successes. “A campaign for independence from United States supervision will consequently result,” he said, “and we feel that the triumph of the Chinese Nationalist movement will mean the failure of the imperialistic policy of Japan, which will then become a factor for the promotion of democracy in the Far East.”—Sun.
