In spite of one of the strongest protests ever made by a Cabinet officer, a bill to grant independence to the Philippines eight years after the adoption by the islands of a constitution acceptable to the president of the U.S. passed the House on April 4 by a vote of 306 to 47. Secretary Henry L. Stimson denounced the proposal for independence as one that would "not be to the political, economic, social, or moral advantage of the U.S. or to that of the people of the Philippine Islands or to that of any other country or people," and as one that "would render more difficult the safeguarding of one's own interests both in the Far East and throughout the world."
