He represents the Nationalistic Party. La Democracia represents the Progresisto Party. which. with his party. has taken a position on the question of independence. In an editorial appearing in that paper just after the Clarke amendment passed the Senate I find the following: The present. epoch in the history of the Islands is the most critical in all their history: it can not be overlooked that. left to their own efforts. the Filipinos are unable to repel foreign aggression of powerful people like Japan. nor would they be able to withstand the peaceful aggression of immigration that even China with all her power. was unable to rcsist. That is but a beginning. and that is but a start in the expression of the people of the islands. There is a gentleman in the Islands named Vicente Soto. who has had a notable career.
