"C. S. Q!"
(6th September.)' Since the United States Government as sumed sovereignity over the Philippine Islands vigorous steps have been taken to develop the internal resources of the coun- try. The natural and hereditary, indolence of the Filipino has to a great extent ham- pered and hindered those efforts, and it was. recognised that besides pacifying the" coun-- try an elaborate system of communications. by road and rail must be established in order that the products of the country might reach the wider centres of consumption. A tentative effort, or at least an effort which does not appear to have been carried out with much spirit, was made in Manila to bring the surrounding districts within easy distance of the capital. But of late years the Government and those citizens who are not entirely absorbed in their own spheres of business, realised that a broad scheme of railway development must be adopted and carried into effect before any tangible results could accrue. The regeneration of the coun- try and of the natives lay, it was wisely decided, in the promotion of railway pro- jccta. Unfortunately, from our point of view, the Americans, and, consequently, the American Government, have laboured under the delusion that they had a sufficiency of native workers lying fallow. They seemed to think that they had only to hoist the signal of "Labour wanted here" and the natives would flock to be engaged. But the native had forgotten the habits of industry; if ever they pertained to his nature, and the country remained what it is to-day an unworked gold mine. It is perfectly true that the native residing in proximity to Manila became convinced of the advantages which flow from honest toil. At any rate, that is how it was cuphemis. tically put, but in the opinion of many the natives, the cockneys so to speak, recognised that if they were to carry themselves in a style which was undreamt of by Solomon in all his glory, if they were to live in the height of fashion and charm the eyes of the senoritas of Manila, they must acquire the nimble peso by hook or by crook. As the crook system would not work they had to try the alternative. And to-day the Manilian is no mean labourer, having helped to erect most of the new, public buildings, construct the tramway lines, run the cars, and generally behave like his westera prototype. This was all very well so far as Manila was con cerned, but Manila is not the Philippines. Indeed, Manile should be disregarded, except as the ecat of Government, when the Philippine Islands are under considera- tion. The question was how to secure labour for the spreading of the ten- tacles of communication across, and be. tween the islands, From time to time disinterested observers have offered that cheapest of commodities free advice. They have dwelt on the large labour field at the very door of the Philippines, but all to no purpose. There is a strong prejudice against Chinese labour; it is a serious offence for a
