Filipino Peace Plan Proposed to MacArthur at Carmen
A June 21 meeting at Carmen produced a seven point peace scheme for addressing the Philippine war. It calls for amnesty, restitution, Filipino officer positions, revenue to aid the needy, civil governance, and expulsion of friars, with Aguinaldo to approve.
