Senator Bate Attacks Philippines Policy And Treaty
In a Friday debate on the Philippines tariff bill, Senator William B. Bate of Tennessee offered a scathing view of U S actions in the Philippines. He described political motives to retain the islands for party advantage and criticized the $20,000,000 payment to Spain.
