Commissioner Guevara said he believes that the proposed "unincor- porated statehood statue" would not require an amendment to the constitution of the United States. He said he will study the plan in company with Philippines Resident Commissioner Camilo Osins and then make a full report on it to Filippino leaders in Manila,

Other circles in Washington are speculating upon what effect the latest proposal for the Philippines will have upon the Territory of Hawali. For many years Hawaii," although a territory on integral but nontontiguous part of the United States, has been demanding state- hood. It is considered that if a statehood status could be contem plated of the Philippines then cer tainly the Hawail leaders will be justified. in renewing their demand for statehood on a par with other ; stutes of the union.

Commissioner' Guevara said to- day that the statehood proposal, for the Philippines has been put forth seriously by members of both the senate and the house who are re- luctant to grant full independence for the islands but are anxious to extend a great degree of autonomy
