James Hopper is doing much to help us understand the character of our foster-brothers, the Filipinos. He adds another to his serles of Filipino stories in the July McClure’s. The title iteelf is interesting, “Cay- bigan’—which {s the Filipino word for friend.

The Filipino’s sensitive nature revolte at this and he turns into a traitorous “amigo.” Perhaps Mr. Hopper’s tale is more than a story, and per- haps he sees that contempt for the Filipinos is not the best basis for government, and that “magtaca” (admiration) should Have some place in our dealings with them.
