The Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act (ch. 11, , enacted January 17, 1933) was the first US law passed for the decolonization of the Philippines. It was the result of the OsRox Mission led by Sergio Osmeña and Manuel Roxas. By 1932, forces for the creation of this law around US farmers who were hit by the Great Depression and feared Filipino imports of sugar and coconut oil that were not subject to US tariff law; and Filipinos (such as Manuel L. Quezon) who were seeking Philippine independence. The Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act was authored by South Carolina Representative Butler Hare, Missouri Senator Harry Bartow Hawes and New Mexico Senator Bronson M. Cutting. It was finally passed by the United States Congress in December 1932, but was vetoed by U.S. President Herbert Hoover. Congress then overrode the veto on January 17, 1933. The law promised Philippine independence after 10 years, but reserved several military and naval bases for the United States, as well as imposing tariffs and quotas on Philippine exports. It also required the Philippine Senate to ratify the law. Quezon urged the Philippine Senate to reject the bill, which it did, and the Philippine Senate advocated a new bill that won the support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The result was the Tydings–McDuffie Act of 1934 which in several ways was similar to the Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act. The Tydings–McDuffie Act was ratified by the Philippine Senate. The Philippines achieved independence on July 4, 1946. ==See also== * Political history of the Philippines * History of the Philippines * Philippine Organic Act (1902) * Jones Law (Philippines) Philippines Organic Act (1916) * Treaty of Paris (1898) * Filipino Repatriation Act of 1935 * Commonwealth of the Philippines 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
