The Senate today overrode President Hoover and enacted into law a bill granting independence to the Philippines after 10 years of transitional commonwealth status.

Senator Borah in a later speech argued independence must come with modified protections to safeguard American agriculture and warned delaying action would prolong colonial entanglements.
