THE PHILLIPINES
INDEPENDENCE BILL MEASURE DISLIKED. Press Association Electric TelegraDh—Copyright 'MANILA, Thursday. Newspaper polls of the entire Philippines Legislature to-day revealed overwhelming opposition to the Independence Bill. The 'Legislature’s approval is necessary before the measure becomes operative.
Generally, objection is based on the fact that the measure fails to grant immediate independence. The opposition is also influenced by an allegation that the measure is sponsored by powerful mainland interests, who see an opportunity to impose a tariff on Philippine sugar to protect (American) sugar producers. Another reason is a Washington report that the Democrats are considering a new and immediate independence Pleasure after Mr Roosevelt assumes office.
