APPENDIX 365
declare, under our oath and honor as freemasons, that, for the peace,
happiness and prosperity of all elements living together in this land;
to put an end to the uneasiness, anxiety and unrest, which now undermine the foundation of our national stability, and which are in turn
the direct result of the uncertainty, the prolonged indefiniteness and
the actual ambiguity in the political relations between America and
the Philippines; and, in general, to extend a helping hand in raising
the sad and dejected spirit of the peoples of the Orient due to continuous and unjust discrimination against their races, Philippine independence should be granted to the Filipinos without any further delay.
And we declare finally, that in adopting this resolution no other
motive or desire inspires us than that of serving the high aims of
Humanity under the exalted ideals of Freemasonry.
We authorize the executive authorities of this Congress to print
this resolution, send copies of it to persons and entities they may
designate, and give it due publicity.
