President Schurman Outlines Philippine Government Policy
Chicago February 23 President Schurman Cornell University and former head of the Philippine commission told Armour Institute students the commission’s forthcoming report mirrors the government plan Filipinos asked for and resembles Thomas Jefferson’s ideas for the Louisiana purchase territory. He said McKinney approved the recommendations and a second commission will implement the system, noting the 1898 Aguinaldo era constitution will be published alongside the commission’s to show near identity. He argued British Malay policy in the southern islands yielded peace and the American flag honored there, while Visayan laws hinder a peace pact. fear of ambush prevents widespread native support. He also cited Spain’s lingering influence and the lack of chiefs in Visayan areas. The talk contrasted government plans with earlier events and wrapped with an ad for Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
