Abstract

Who Owns the Philippines?

Allen, James S. | April 24, 1937 issue

add to cart close window

The Philippine question is being shifted almost entirely at present to economic grounds because of the forthcoming trade conference between the United States and the Philippine Commonwealth. The dispute between the two countries now centers around the economic clauses of the Tydings-McDuflie Independence Act, which grants a greater degree of self-government to the Philippines and promises independence in 1946, at the close of the ten-year transition period.
