This rul ing c lass is ccmposed of asmal l minor i t l 'of educated Fi l ip incs, most ly . l4est izopol i t ic ians in Mani la and in the larger towns, whohave nothing i r r common u' i th the non-chr ist iantr ibes nor n ' i th the taas qr working class.

They;rear ly wrecked the, governnrent and the peso ( theuni t of currency) depreciated frour f i f ty cents tothir ty-eight certs.

Under the most favoraLr le coldi t ions the Phi i ippineGovernment has proven i tsel{ to be nnstable and i t iscertainly not the goverhment for the people of Guar i rto prefer to that of the Uni ted States. I t may giveGuam representat ion in the Phi l ippine legis latureand therefore "a voice in gor. 'ernment", but i t doesnot require a seer to see how much "repre-sentat ion"

Guam wi l l actual ly receive. The Government of thePhi l ippines is for those within the inner r ing of themyst ic c i rc le.

But the most i mportant consic lerat ion is theeconomic and f inancial changes tbat lvould af lectGuam Since the American occupat ion, the Is landof Guam has been blessed rv i th a paternal and benef i -cent government. Thousands o{ dol lars have beenspent on publ ic i rnprovernents and ut i l i t ies such aswater systems, sewers, roads, hospi ta ls and publ icwcrks of a s imi lar character which are of but l i t t le,i f any. mi l i tar5 ' value. Federal Goverr t t r :ent equip-meir t snch as launches, i ighters, road rol lers, et ceteraare used by the Is lant l Government wi thout cost .Lrrmber, cement and other mater ia ls are purchasc-clf rom the Federal Gor, 'ernment at costs in States,f re ight and other charges not being included in thepr ice to the Is land Government. A Federal appro-pr iat ion of $12,000.00 per year is.grarr ted for educa-t ional purposes. None of the tax pavers ' money isused to pay t l . re salar ies of the Got 'ernor and otheradministrat ive of f icers.

Al l these, and many other adr.antages, would belost i f Guam should ever be ceded to the Phi l ippineIslands. ' fhat goverrrment wonld not supply them.I t could not do so. No f inancial assistalce corr ld beexpectecl f rorr i that sor l rce, for the presef l t total rer--enue of the Phi l ippine Is lands is but 935,000,000 for

- a popuiat ion of 12,000,000 people, rvhich is about$3.00 per capi ta. This is less than the revenue ofSan F'rancisco, Cal i fornia.

Fronr Inarajarr to the former v i l iage of Pago, theroad st i l l fo i lorvs the c i i rect ion of tbe coast but fortnost of the way i t goes in land across plateaus ant lover mountains. In case the populat ior . r of the is landis increased, colonies should be establ ished on thebanks of the' la lofofo, of the Yl ig, and on the si te ofold Pago; these then couid contr ibute the necessarJriabor to improve and maintain the road. Therebeing smal l probabi l i ty of any such increase, i t ur igbtbe better to construct a highrvay from lnarajan byway of Buvuiao and Gojo to connect wi th the Agana-Agat road. Al though this proposed route has marrydrawbacks, yet i t r ,vould be shorter, and require lessniaintenance than the present orle through Irago,which rnight then be abandoned, The distance fromInarajan to Agana by the present Pago roacl is 26ki lometers 264 neters.

The old road fronr Agana to the aban-doned vi l lage of Pago is st i l l cal lecl a wagon roat lbecause in point of fact the nat ive carts do nse i t , ant ieven carr iages have managed to make thc. t r ip inspi te of sor le \ tery long steep slopes not at a i l sui t -able for vehic les.

North f ronr Agana the roads fronr al l the extrern-i t ies of the plateau come together, as they descenr ltorvards the city, into two nrain highr,r,a1,s, separateclby the c l i f i of which rve hate spoken. The one onthe piatear enters the c i ty c l i rect l ,y, u 'h i le the other

COPRA MEAL VTRSUS FRESH COCONUT

AS A FEED FOR HOGS

A ser ies of tests have been concluded at the Cototstation in rvhich copra meal was colnpared rvit ir freshcoconut as a feed for young pigs anci for sows whenon free range.

In one test 26 grade pigs about three nionths ofage were fed for a per iod of 90 days on copra neal ,whi le 18 pigs of approximateiy the same age andbreeding were fed f resh coconut. Both lots wereal lorved free range in the woods and upland pastt l res.

The lot receiving the copra meal rnade soruerrhatgreater and more economical gains than did the lotwhich received the fresh coconut. Holvever, thetotal results shor,ved that for young pigs, even r, ' i 'henon free range, the mea1, and to a greater extent, t l tecoconut, should not be fed alone but shoulc i be com-bined u, ' i th otber feeds.

Two of the dams of the pigs t - rsed i r r the above testrvere fed eopra meal from the time they n'ere breduntil their l i tters r.vere weaned, while tr,vo others rverefed fresh coconut dur ing the same per iod. A11 r ,vereal lorved free range. The two sows receiv ing them€al kept in much better condi t ion,especial ly dur ingthe per iod they rvere nursing their l i t ters, than did theother t rvo u 'h ich n 'ere fed the f resh coconut. In bothcases, howe-, 'er , the resnl ts shorred t l i : r t son's r 'h i lenursin3 their l i t ters, should be given other feeds alongwith the meal or the coconur.

These and other tests coirc l t rcted b1' the I ix l rer i rnentStat ion have proven that copra mea1, both as arrent i re rat ion and in combinat ion rv i th other feeds, isa better feed for both young pigs and older stock,than is f resh coconut.

A NEW ROOT CROP FOR GUAMA root crop rvhich rnay becone of iuportance to

For somet inre the people fa i ied totake auy interest in t l - re crop but recent l -v, havinglearned that i t rv i l l grow in local i t ies unsui ted totaro, a nt tnber of farmers have made tr ia l p lant i r rgs.

Tr ia is so far indicate that the crop is aclayrter l tomost of the cul t ivated areas of the is land but c loesbest on the rvel1 drained porous *soi1-*. I t apJrears tobe part icular ly f ree f rorn disease and insect pests andthe tubers have excel lent keeping qual i t ies.

The crop is of use for the rnanufacture of starchand for human consumption aucl , as a stock feed.The young immature tubers rnake a very good rub-st i tute for taro or other edible root crops. 1 'hemature tubers are rather fibrous for this purpose butmake a good pig feed when cooked. The tops nray

aiso be used as a stock feeci,Seed of edible canna may be obtained from the

The test is made dur ing the lat ter part of the grow--ing season, af ter the ears are wel l developed. Astaik is cut ancl spl i t open lengthr,r ' ise. A solut ion ofsulphur ic acid containing a ferv drops of d ip l ienyla-mine is appl ied to the cut surface of the stalk. I fthe plant has had suf i f lc ient n i t rogen, the t issues wi l lturn blue. I f the plant has been starved for th isfood, the t issues wi l l be of a yel low-green color.

A lack of potassium in the soi l rnal ' be detected b1'examining the t issues at the nocles or jo ints of thestalk. I f the t issues turn red r ,vhen a solut ion cfpotassium thiocyarrate is appl ied, the soi l neec. lspotassium.

The fact that the speci f ic needs of t l . re corn plantcan be detected in th is manner, savs l \ { r . Hcf ier ,should nrake the methocl of great p.ract ical r 'a lue.(U. S. Dept. Agr. Off ic ia i l {ecord, Vol . 5, No. 3C,page 3.)

For f ishing boats the nat ives use l i t t le dugoutcanoes (made from trunks. of Dugdug or Nonac)rv i th a s ingle outr igger, or " lucla, , . The name o{this type .of canoe is "galaide' ' ; in the phi l ippines i tis cal led "baroto". Being so .-ui l , they aie gooclfor nothing more than paddl ing about inside the reelnnd therefore t1o one at tenipts to f ish in the dcepwater otr ts ide.

INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE:-Here there is no suchthing, proper ly speaking, as t raCe or industry; every-one has to provide for himsel l and his fami ly and, forth is reason, s 'e have nei ther carpenters, masons norstone cutters, nei ther shoemakers, ta i lors nor black-smiths who devote al l their t ime to their t rade, but,instead of th is, there are many people who,when theyfeel i ike i t , work at these var ious jobs ei ther forthemselves or for others, i f they can do so withoutprejudice to their ranches, their f ishing nets, or theirbarvest ing of r ima and feder ico

This state of th ings exists in spi te of the fact thatan unskil led carpenter or a mason,who does not, evenknow how to set t i les, can ask a dail5' wage of fourreales and act as i f he were doing his employer afartor. They put in about seven hours a day of so-cai led work, reckoning their t ime from the rnomentthey leave their houses at s ix otc lock; the; ' us1a11y,begin work about seven, knocking ofi at eight o'clockto go home fcr breakfast, reconmencing work aboutrrine. At twelve they lay off, to eat lutrch and toenjoy a.good siesta, not best i r r ing themselves againnntil t lvo o'c1ock, afteri l 'hich they r'vork ti l i six, al1very much at their le isure. I f anythir :g is said, theyquit rvork and the o\l,ner can find no one else tcf in i -h the job; conseouent ly eter l 'one prefers to turn' l r is own hand to ever l ' k ind of r tor l< r , r ther thandeperrd on the services of others.

f t is easl ' to understand that,under any such sl '11-teut, \ 'ery few good r i 'orkmen cern develop, in factthere are on the is land only one or t rvo carpentersworthy of t i re name and about the same nut iber c lb lacksmiths: as for competent masons, stortd cut ters,etc. . they are not to be found.

l 'he one industr ia l establ ishnient, u 'b ich can t :ecal led so only b;r courtesy, is the dist i l ler5 ' formaking aguardiente f rom tuba, the sap of the ccconuttree. Over a stone-bi t r i l t hearth is set a copper pctor cauldron fu1l of tuba, over r ,vhich is ptr t a barrelwi th top and bottom knocked out, or e l -qe a largehol low sect ion of t ree-trunk.

NOVEMI]ER 1926 THtr GUAM RECORDER 23r

Shall the lsland of Guarn be ceded to theFhil ippine Government?

( ContinuerJ fram page 211)is much higher and the nat ives are happier and moreprosperous, True, the present -systent of governmentis not perfect . What form of government is? Butcould or would the Gor, 'ernment of the Phi l ippine Is-lancis give Guam a better one?

I'he Island h.as had fifteen rl ifferent Naval officersi ts governors. Some aclministrat ions have been bad,some fair and sorne good, As a rvhole, the major i ty.of administrat ions have been decidedl ; , - gccd. A11 the'governors have been men of unquest ionable honestyand integr i ty and there has never been any suspic ionof graf t . They administered the af fa i rs of the Is landas they thought best. The people of Guarn can ex-pect nothing more from any goi , 'ernment.

The Chamorro people have a deep seated feel ing ofloyal ty and af iect ion for the Uni ted States of Americaand ihey hearti ly wish to see 11o cther flag than theStars and Str ipes f ly over their Is land Home. Theyf i rmly bel ieve that no other country could or wouldgive them the protect ion and the blessings of goodgovernment that they are now receiv ing. Theirhigirest anbi t ion and t t re i r greatest desire is to begranted American ci t izenship. They do not wantand wi l l never consent to a t ransfer to anv other na-t ion and most part icular ly to such as the immature .and inexper ienced "Phi l ippine Republ ic ' ) .

Guam should never be ceded to the phi l ippine Is-lands unless the United States wishes to see the pro-gress of t rventy-seven years dwindle atvay, leaving asrnuch trace behind as did the ice that u,as first rraclein Guanr nrore than a score of years ago.-,4guerla Ig-/esiat.

SICOND PRIZTANi!EXATION OF GUAM TO THE PI.I iLIPPINES

The greatest pol i t ical quest ion that has ever con-fronted the Chamorros is the proposed plan of Mr.X{ercaido, a representat ive of the phi l ippine Legis la-ture, "That Guam be ceded to the ntr i l ippine-Gov-ernment. ' , ' The great displeasure and strolg op-posi t ion shown by the ent i re populat ion, young unaold al ike, s ince this idea was kno,,r ,n, is an exerrpl i f icdtest imonl ' of aversion torvard th is propcsi t iorr .

The Fi l ip inos are not a nat ion ancl their capabi i i t ieso_f administer ing a governurent are not le i shorrn;therefore, i t is a bad pol ic5t to ask for m-ore burdenwhen their load is heavy enough.

I t is t rue that the Chamorros are racial ly connecte<lwi th th is pecple, but their habi ts, language, interest ,and ways of th inking are far apart .

In order to maintain good government i t is ex-tremely necessar,- to secure the consent and coooera-t ion of those governed; rv i th the feel ings n.hict theChamorros have, change of governmeni r,vil l resuitin a cont inuous outrage.

and many other th ings. The United States is spend,ing thousands and thousands of dol lars purposelyfor her great principles of extending the Lkbt 0/Liberty to those who are in darkness.

The American Flag, the syrnbcl of l iberty, equal i ty,just ice, and opportuni ty, is h ighl ,v respected ancldeepiy loved by al l the Chamorros in th is Is land.

The Anre; : ican Gcvernrnent exercis ing i ts dut iesunder the principles of it-q Flag has greatly bene-f i ted the is iand and perfect ly sat is5ed the people byextending those r ights which are endowed by ourCreator.

The people are gett ing Americanizecl in dress,language, habi ts, and rrays of l iv ing and harre th isspir i t deeply planted in the bottom of their heartsthat they earnest ly wish to l ive and to die glor iouslyunder the American Government.

We desire to cont inue our progress and the onlvpossible N. 'a1' of accompl i -shing i t is to have alwaysfor our Proiector and Guidance t t rat Nat iOn whichis indivisible with Liberty and Justice for al l .

Having no upr is ing nor the least d isturbance rnadeby the people toward the government s ince theAmerican adr i in istrat ion of the is lancl , is a posi t iveevidence of the r ,v ise and good rnanageruent of theAnrer icat t people.

A11 through the Is land the school chi ldren aresinging glor iously and lovingiy the songs of"America, Star Spangled Banner, Columbia", and man1"other patr iot ic songs, including the "Flag of Freedom"recent ly taught.

I t is earnest ly hoped that the people of Guam whodearly love and respect Old Glory wi1l , in thevery near futnre, see the Rights ar.rd Pr iv i leges ofAmerican Cit izenship extended to them so tbat thevcan proudly, earnert ly, and r ight l l ' c la im that theAmerican Flag is Their Own Flag.

May the people of Guam never l ive to see the colorsof anlr other Flag waving over their heads; may theirhappiness and tranqtr i l i ty never cease, ma.v the

-eireatsat isfact ion of the Chamorros toward the AmericanGovernment never fade; and may the United Statesnever 'withdraw her protection from her loyal sub-jects. fn conclusion, I wish to set for th th is prayerto the President of the Uni ted States of America.
