OUTLINE OF PLANS
Washington, May 25. Governor-General Dwight F. Davis expects to carry out six major policies during the next four years as the Philippines" Chief Executive, he indicated to newspapermen here to-day.
Colonel Davis's paramount sb- jects in the Philippines will be:
(1) To work out a governmental syetem in which Filipinos will be in charge of the administrative and legislative functions, and Ameri- can officials acting only as experts or advisers.
(2) Development of Filipino ex- perts in agricultural, industrial and scientific studies.
(3) Clase co-operation between American and Filipino capital in the development of the resources of the country..
(4) Diversification of agriculture and industry in the Philippines.
(5) Clase co-operation between the Chief Executive and the Insular. Legislature, and
(6) Improvement of the condi- tion of the masses through educa tion.
When it ia remembered that as Assistant Secretary and Secretary of War for eight years before his appointment to the Philippines post, Colonel Davis had come into close contact with the problems and needs of the Islands, one will understand the ready comprehen- aion which the new Governor-Gen- cral has of the problems of his administration."Philippines Herald.”
