Liberta s newspaper libel case in Manila targets Gen Bell
Libel proceedings have been filed against Libertas, a Manila Spanish newspaper, over a piece attacking Gen J Franklin Bell and his aid plan for Batangas, Laguna, and Mindoro provinces. The plan sold rice and provided seeds and tools, generating about 27000 gold dollars in profits, with Bell transferring the funds to the civil commission to continue the work. The paper accuses him of attempting to steal the money and take it to the United States after the transfer.
