President Roosevelt has seen the petition for the United States to give political independence to the Philippines, which Charles William Eliot has signed.

Roosevelt believes granting independence to the Philippines is the easy way out, while the right thing to do is to remain involved in the Philippines for the betterment of its people.

Taft about the matter.
