I wanted to observe that while I am irrevocably out of sympathy with certain fundamentals of the Philippine independence bill as passed by the Senate and. therefore. oppose it. I am in sympathy with some sections of the bill as passed by the Senate. and I should confidently hope that if we are to have this bill at all. it is not true. as indicated in the Associated Press dispatch of December 18. that some prospective Senate conferees already are committed against certain of the Senate amendments to the House bill. I quote from the Associated Press: Manuel Roxas. speaker of the insular house and joint chairman of the Independence mission here. said he was informed the Senate conferees would strive for acceptance of the House immigration and sugar quota provisions in conference. I am sure this must be in error.
