I Former Interior Secretary of the Philippines Says Army Officers Are Changed Too Often NKW YORK, Dec. :'T lean i Worcester, ex-Secretary of the inte rior of the Philippine*, generally cred ited with knowing more abbut the Philippines than any ot'her living man. |dec •lares that the constant change of officials in the Moro provinces ac- ■ ounts for the lack of results. Mr Worcester believes that, if prop erly governed through men who sym pathize with them, the Moron may be made law abiding and self-respecting citizens Heretofore, the Distric, Governors in the Morn Provinces, ’ Mr. Worcester ! Maid, “almost invariably have been (army officers or constabulary officers. The Moro knows nothing of politics, nut understands individuals uncom monly well, and in dealing with him the personal equation is of vital ini | portance. # "Too often it has happened that just , as a man was reaching ids maximum ! i.f usefulness he has been ordered i Dlsew here. General -Scott an Example. “The case of General Scott, for a time Governor of Jolo, affords an il lustration In point. HeNhas wide cx- 1 perjence in dealing with the Indians In out: country and knew' just how to attack tin- Moro problem. “The recent substitution of civilians for army officers as District Govern ors 1s a move in the right direction, because < ivilians can be kept, in office indefinitely, if they are success ful in their work, and the retention in office of men who demonstrate their ability successfully to handle wild people is a matter of fundamental im portance in dealing with them. "The time is approaching, and per haps lias arrived, when it is the part of wisdom to make a civilian the Gov ernor of tin- Moios. The man who fills this should be young and vigorous and he should have a genuine sympa thy with the people over whom he rules, for the power of human sympa thy is very great, and it is to this fact that the*large degree of success w hich has b<« n attained in dealing with the more unruly hill tribyes in Luzon is due. The old time simple policy of tile square deal will win in *the end with the Moro, as it has won with the* Mongo, the Ifugao, the Kalin- ga. the Bukidnon and the Manobo. “My own experience in dealing with primitive tribes has not been small, and I want to say that I would a thousand times rather undertake to better the condition of a race of de termined fighters, who take a hand in shaping their own destinies than to seek to help t he people of a broken- spirited, discouraged tribe who fold their hands and leave their fate to Providence*” Philippines replaced by represents - live'; of the new Administration are full of forbodings as to what will happen with inexperienced men in control. The passing of Pershing brings to a close a chapter in the Philippines, in which political and personal influ ence played a strong part, and in which Colonel John P. Finley figures as a man unique in the story of our Pastern possessions. Lord i ’romer did no greater thing in Egypt than Colonel Finley in the Philippines. A peerage was the re ward of the former The latter has been obliged to content himself with honors from savages and decorations from the Sultan of Turkey, while his own superiors and Government have worked against him. According to the latest advices. Colonel Finley is returning to the scene of hip decade of labors under orders from .Washington, while his chief antagonist retires in favor of a civil successor Wood Recognized Ability. So long as Major General Leonard Wood was Governor of the Moro Province this development of Finley s policy went ahead to increasing suc cess for Wood hap recognized its im portance and placed himself on rec ord as armroving it. He was succeeded by Pershing, a son-in-law of Senator- Warren. of Wyoming, who. through influence, had been jumped from captain of volunteers to Ids present rank. He led the troops In their slaughter of the Lake Lanado Moros lie knew but one method of-dealing with sav ages to kill them. Between Pershing atul Finley there grew up strained relations. The Moro Exchanges were not actually wiped out, but their operation was ham pered and in the end Finley was di rectly informed that it would be bet ter it he sought an appointment* else- where since his usefulness to the Moros was at an end Refuses to Resign. In 1910 Finley reduced to continu ing his work single handed, without even a stenographer, refused to re sign. i . :l ng to drive him out Pershing • n<*ed in 1911 the abolishment of L nb v Mtro Exchange system, but ♦ >e immediate establishment of Per- > nr - Trading Station system U» whi h v' is granted $25,000. even : 'O04 t the other had been svlf-sus- taining Again Finley’s resignation was demanded, and again refused At the instigation of General Wood, Colonel Finley, then major, was re- nnested to confer with the Secretary r # War at Washington Immediately there was a gathering «*f natives in convention With na tive ceremonies thev conferred upon Finley the title of Tuan Maas.” meat, tig ' M«.st High Master.” com prising sultan, fathei teacher and friend, and granting i#i» power of life and death over them, a title never before given to a white man Made Envoy to Sultan. Tn addition, thev made him their plenipotentiary to visit the Sultan of Turkey, as Commander of the Faith ful. bearing a petition that their re ligious head should teach them through hint how the practice of their faith <'o\r* one!led w ith «• laws of the i'nited States so that thev could serve both The second remarkable event was the filing of Governor Finley’s resig nation. he not having resigned, and the appointment of a successor While Finley was in the I’nited States the Moros were offering tip! daily prayers for his safe return with Increased power, and looking forward to the receipt through him of the message from the Sultan Finley, having conferred with the ofll ers of the outgoing Taft adminis tration and received verbal commen dation, was sent on his wav to the Sultan. Here he was received with distinguished honors and invested with the order of Medjidieh 111. load ed with the usual presents, and sent on his way to the Philippine* with the Increased and unique power that the Sultan had given him for greater service to the people Not Allowed to Land. A surprise awaited Governor Finley at Manila His place had been filled at Zamboanga. He was not allowed to return to the Moros. Governor General Forbes admitted that since Pershing did not want him back in Zamboanga he would not be permit ted to land. The Governor General refused to allow Finley to report to the Moros, j yet Finley embarked by transport and received the leaders of the* people on I the deck of the ship, where they fell upon thlr knees and pledged fidelity ! to him. kissing Ids hands and prom- j ising to renew their prayers for his j return to them with his guidance. None of them knew anything of any “protest,“ which has since ap peared to have been an inspired ac tion of the Chamber of Commerce at ■ m meeting at which were present twelve out of 31 members, eight of these voting for it. these eight being Chinese traders. No Moros, no Fill-] pinos ami no representatives of Amer ican business houses were present Washington Takes Hand. Pershing has retired from the gov- j ernorship of the Moro Province in fa- i vor of a « ivit governor, and word has just been received from Manila that | Washington has taken a hand and 1 that Finley i? about to proceed to | Zamboanga bearing his messages and j presents from the Sultan. Whether Finley is again placed in nuthoritV over those Moros remains to lie seen. W hat Goethals lists done in Panama Finley has done in the Philippines - figuratively speaking. A captain of infantry when he began, he has risen in ten years to lieutenant colonel. He has governed Zamboanga, part of the Moro Province that, unlike the rest of the Philippines, has been undet military rule. For ten years, without rest or fur lough, Colonel Finley has been dig ging up the roots of ignorance and religious fanaticism iti human minds To-day a large part of a people es-* tranged from us have accepted our methods, are striving to learn more, and have turned from savagery: to peace and industry.
