American businessmen fret over Spooner amendment in Manila
Disappointment grows among American businessmen in Manila as the Spooner amendment to the army bill restricts timber cutting on public lands. A delay in building activity is feared if timber licenses shift to private landowners. An inquiry to Washington asks if timber prohibition is in the amendment. The Philippines forestry department previously issued one year licenses for timber. Locals discuss sending a petition for an extra congressional session, but doubts persist about any gains. Regret also centers on not entrusting timber and land matters to the local Republican administration.
