Woodrow Wilson and the US Congress to grant Philippine Independence but failed. A total of 11 Independence Missions were sent annually from (except for 1926 & 1929) shouldered by public funds then later on from the donations of Filipino people. In the 1930 s, when economic crisis hit the US, the Mission got its support from the American public who wanted to put a stop to the competition posed by: 1. Importation of Philippine products. 2.
