Congressman Martin Probes Calamba Land Sale in Philippines
Representative Martin of Colorado presses resolutions to investigate the sale of the friar lands in the Philippines. He cites Calamba estate as a flashpoint of the 1906 rebellion and notes reports that 20,000 acres were sold to Honolulu sugar interests, criticizing the move as a crime and a break from the plan to allot small holdings. Roosevelt's Europe trip role and Taft ties add political tension.
