THE ALLEN CASE IN MANILA.
Anent the decision of Collector Shuster, in the Alle case, despatches from Hongkong and London, to the United States, say that such Interpretation of the immigration law menaces all the foreign business houses and banks in the Philippines. That these firms, which are chiefly British, construe the decision as an at- tempt to drive them from the isla ids and give Americans; a monopoly of the trade.
Such drivel scastered broadcast cannot help. but result in a prejudice againt the administra- tion of the Philippines in the minds of many who know nothing of the ciraumstances of the case. We feel confident that even those affected adversely by the decision in question never had the idea that the construction of the law was directed toward British subjects more than others who are not citizens of the United States, and further that there was not the remotest thought of securing Americans against British employees While we deplore the Law that requires such a con- struction, and have condemned it freely, to say that any ulterior motive prevailed in such adjudication will appear as an absolute absur dity to every right, thinking person in this archipelago.
The correspondent, who indited and sent that account from Hongkong, 'evidently belongs to the jingo class Any ruling adverse to a coun" tryman, he likes to parade as an official dis crimination against his country. There are plenty of Americans who will invariably do the same, but they are not the broad-minded kind and when such information is traced to its source, as a ryfe, the originator will stand as its best denial.
The stalement, that such a decision will jeo. pardize the interests of British trade in the Philippines, must be amusing to those most directly affected in Manila. If there is a de mand' for English clerical assistance in the Philippines, is it not probable that it will be here to supply the deficiency? It certainly would appear to be simple enough to make the contract after the arrival of the employee In fact all Mr. Allen will have to do will be to tear up his old contract, go over to Hongkong and return on the next steamer, make a new contract and go to work." It would appear to be perfectly fair to fight a technicality with another technicality. The business of British houses will not be crippled by the decision whether they want to employ Americans or not-Manila Times.
