Lest selfserving inferences may have invited a different interpretation of my purpose. let the record show that in point of ultimate time my substitute proposal runs but four years longer to its maturity than does the pending measure. Meanwhile. it begins its limitations upon Philippine imports five years sooner than does the pending bill. It provides a more temperate and practical progression in these limitations. yet arrives at larger limitations than the pending bill. It stops immigration precisely as does the pending bill. It immediately enlarges native autonomy. although this is scarcely a serious matter because the Philippines already are 98 per cent autonomous. It leads to the absolute assurance of a plebiscite.
