Bryan's Filipino Policy and Its Results
The Democratic platform favors an immediate promise of stability, independence, and protection for the Philippines. If Bryan is president he cannot unilaterally grant independence, as Congress holds territory powers, but he would push to enforce U.S. authority and help establish a stable American-led government. He may then declare U S troops unnecessary after a Filipino constitution and government are formed, seeking future recognition of independence.
