But we are against the ownership of large tracts of land. either by corporations or by individuals. for it is incompatible with the real prosperity of the natives. You can not have. Mr. Chairman. a solid. conservative. contented. lawabiding community unless the plain people. as your beloved Lincoln affectionately called them. have and cultivate their own land. Moreover. large agricultural enterprises in the Philippines will. sooner or later. bring about Chinese or other oriental immigration into the islands. which we are fighting against. For these reasons I. on behalf of my people as well as of myself. respectfully ask Congress to strictly adhere to its policy concerning this matter. as it has been defined in the "organic act." Mr. Chairman.
