Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Present Government of Philippines It is the purpose of this volume to picture the present system of government in the Philippines, its basic foundations, the principles which underlie its workings, as well as the different governmental organs which have been established by the Jones Law, or as an interpretation of the Jones Law. It is not a discussion of legal provisions, but a discussion of actual facts. It is not an attempt at constitutional law but at political science. It is confined almost exclusively to the broad framework of our central government. It does not deal with its historical development or with the provincial, municipal, or city governments. These other matters, together with a large part of the subjects discussed in the following chapters, are taken up, although in a more elementary form, in "Philippine Government" by Malcolm and Kalaw, written primarily as a textbook for high schools, which may be published in the near future. The writer has tried impartially to present the facts about our present political institutions and practices as he found them. When, however, he is obliged to discuss their merits and demerits, he has stated nothing but his personal opinion. It is his fervent hope that such a discussion would incite further study by other students of political science and would be of no passing interest to the citizens of the Philippines themselves, who are determined to make our government - known the world over as the greatest experiment ever attempted at tropical democracy - a decided success. The author desires to express his sincere obligation to Justice George A. Malcolm, for the permission granted him to use the materials which the Justice has collected for his Constitutional Government of the Philippines. His book on "The Government of the Philippine Islands" has, moreover, been quoted in some parts of the present volume. Professor Wilgus, of the department of Journalism, University of the Philippines, has also been kind enough to proof-read the manuscript and to offer valuable suggestions.
