Synopsis
Excerpt from The Case for the Filipinos
This youth delivered an oration - it was not a speech - of such force and beauty of expression as has seldom fallen upon the ears of a Mohonk audience. He advocated independence for his people; he said they were all for it; he complimented our work and sacrifices, but he craved that boon of liberty. At the conclusion of his speech the applause was long continued. In con trast with the set Speeches of many American travel ers in the Islands this effort of the native orator carried refreshing frankness and force. Certainly, if the Is lands can furnish such men to plead for them, the day of their liberty is not far distant.

Product Description
Excerpt from The Case for the Filipinos For more than one reason this book should be read by those who are interested in Philippine affairs. It accurately presents the different stages through which American public opinion on the so-called Philippine question has passed. It is moreover the first attempt of a young Filipino educated in American schools to write in the English language. Most important of all, it echoes the voice of a generation of Filipinos that has grown to maturity during the period of American sovereignty over the Islands. Mr. Kalaw fairly represents the generation of Filipinos that is about to become an important factor in shaping the future of the archipelago.
