Senators Clash Over Philippine Policy in Islands Debate
In Washington on June 2 the Senate opened debate on the Philippine government bill under a fifteen minute rule. Lodge offered verbal amendments including barring land leases to corporations until a land law is passed, restricting corporate farming, applying U S shipping laws, and ending slavery in franchises. Mason denounced U S policy, urging independence for Filipinos and questioning the war's purpose and cost. Hoar linked imperialism to cruelties and cited General Grant's authority in a contentious order. The session adjourned after executive time with votes on several measures and a pending Alaska wild game protection report.
