Willis, Henry Parker. Our Philippine problem: a study of American colonial policy. $1.50. Holt.
“A review of our experience as a nation in governing the Philippine islands and an appreciation of the main elements of the Philippine problem as it now presents itself.” There is a frank discussion of civil government, civil service, legal and judicial systems, constabulary, political parties, the church, American education in the islands, social conditions, and kindred subjects, all treated from the view point of an “anti-imperialist.”
[*] “It needs to be stated at the beginning that this book is frankly critical of our Philippine policy, and particularly of the administration thereof. Further perusal and analysis of the book will convince many readers, perhaps unwillingly, too, that the criticisms and charges it contains are not only serious and grave in the extreme, but that their authenticity seems unquestionable. In style it is unusually readable and entertaining.” J. E. Conner.
