Secretary Root testified before the House military affairs committee on the Philippines, stating civil government could be maintained with the army as a moral force. He linked delays to the Spooner amendment and noted some provinces already have satisfactory civil rule, but conspired agitation persists. If Congress passes Lodge or Cooper bills, gradual military reduction could begin, though rapid termination is unlikely.
