James Biedzynski describes Governor General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.’s tenure in the Philippines in the years 1932-1933. Biedzynski notes the difficulties posed by the onset of the Depression, and he highlights the effects of independence legislation that would unfasten the islands from American rule, most notably the loss of free trade with the United States. Biedzynski quotes at length from a letter Roosevelt wrote to Manuel Luis Quezon telling the Philippine president that the United States would not guarantee the islands’ independence.
