Farley, Chairman of the Democratic National Com- mittee, was one of those making the recent Interesting trip to the Philippines for the Insugural ceremonies of the new Philip- pine Commonwealth. On the journey, Mr. Hurja, an able writer, prepared exclusively for The Empire a series of articles covering the voyage, the ceremonies and the inter- esting places enroute. They give an insight to the whole history-making event which was not available in the daily news dis- patches. The seventh of the interesting arti- eles is presented herewith: By EMIL HURJA MANILA, Philippine Islands—Surveying the fu-| ture of the Philippines from an industrial, agricul- | tural and economic viewpoint, we cannot escape‘ the feeling that the day of intensive industrialization such as we have seen in Japan is a long, long way | off. Undoubtedly rich in natural resources, barely scratched as to mineral development, the island empire is to a great extent virgin territory. With an approximate area of 114,400 square miles, but twenty per cent of the land available for agri- cultural or industrial purposes is in use. Over thir- teen million people, with all but a million and a quarter of them employed, and at an average wage of 55 centavos daily, equivalent to 27% cents daily! in American money. Probably as interesting an outline for a system| of domestic economy for the Philippine Islands as| has been presented to the American contingent for consideration was that prepared by Mr. Joaquin M. Elizalde, managing partner of Elizalde and Com- pany. It was my pleasure to spend several hours with him, during which he took occasion to explain his thoughts on a subject of more than passing interest, now that the Commonwealth Government has taken over the direction of the internal affairs of the country. Mr. Elizalde pointed out that there are, in the main, three economic plans which the Commonwealth might adopt. One is the highly industrialized sys- tem of Great Britain, Japan, Germany and the United States. This, he said, was out of the ques- tion because of the lack of finances, of raw materials, _ such as coal and iron, and of cheap power—all re- quisites in the program of broad-scale, intensive manufacturing. ‘Another plan is a purely agricultural or raw- M producing system such as falls within the D UNCLE SAM | opment of the | located. | “problem.” |in violation of agreements | American journalist, | compete on equal terms in trade against virile people | bassador to Washington, Mr. South Africa and other colonial possessions of world | powers. This system Mr. Elizalde believes would make the Philippines a subject country, so to speak, | of whatever nation became the chief purchaser of her raw materials and agricultural products. Indu.s— trial nations, he suggested, have but one fixed aim in view purchase their raw materials at the °st possible level, in to increase their profits and at the same time get into a better com- petitive position with other manufacturing countries. To remain strictly producing country would be to invite disaster, or a lowered living standard, and for that reason, Mr.| Elizalde explained, his belief was that the Philip- pines could go farther semi-agricultural and| industrial country, producing as much as po.&sibw] of her own agricultural needs and engaging manufacturing for purely local needs. Being of an old Spanish line himself, |born and raised in the Philippines, Mr pictured the Philippines as more likely | smoother economic sailing along the lines Spain herself. That country produces nearly of its own agricultural products, and at the | time, with a judicious tariff system it manufaclures‘ {the bulk of its requirements of finished goods,, with the exception of its heavy machinery necds; and automobiles and trucks. With imports anm exports of agricultural products almost balancing | each other, Spain has been able to boast of a stable financial system, with a low cost of living, high| wages and a stable currency, with comparatively | little of a foreign debt, and it is to this sort of }goal that Mr. Elizalde would project the Philip-| | pine economic policy. | And as the keynote of such a middle-ground | economic policy, Mr. Elizalde considers a continuance | | of the present preferential and reciprocal trade rela- ~to as a | (lmuizh Ehzalde‘ to have} of old| all| same | s held a unique place in|tionships with the United States as extremely vital.|of the few students who did not for- Word comes from |The deep friendships already existing between the|sake the Ford peace expedition et/ United States and the Philippines should be con-| tinued, with economic advantage to both counmn»‘ Commenting on the growing trade with Japan,| A New York clipping service has| Mr. Elizalde pointed out that the Philippines had PostPoned his sailing to Sitka for | been able to tide over the discrepancies of the | unfavorable trade balance with Japan by draumgi with the United States. “But this sort of thing | cannot last forever,” he declared, “and the day we lose our favorable trade balance with the United!

And when that day comes the Philippines shall become a debtor nation to Japan and suffer all the onerous consequences| that such a situation would bring about. Our de bis | would grow in a few years to such a point that we face absolute domination of our financial policies| | by that nation.” | There is strong likelihood that President Quezon | will draft Mr. Elizalde to head a forthcoming ec ‘umlc mission to the United States. He has been | serving under Governor General Murphy as hu\d of the National Development Company, a Govern-| | ment institution organized for the purpose of assist- | ing in development and exploitation of natural r | sources of the country.

Luzon group, and second largest island of the Philip-| | pines, constitutes the richest undeveloped territory |in the world. Rich in minerals, with an cxcs\llcnv | climate, it is largely a plateau extremely fcn.llc‘ and rich in possibilities. “The greatest challenge | to the people of the Philippines,” said Vice-Governor Hayden of the Philippines recently, “is the devel-| island of Mindanao.” There is a | small amount of mining there now, and a few pine- apple plantations have been opened by the Del| Mome Packing Company of California, but the! | great part of the island's territory is untouched.| At Davao, in southern Mindanao, the most con- siderable Japanese settlement in the Philippines is| It has already assumed the importance of a} Japanese fishermen come in and vio- late the agreements of fishing conventions; Japan- ese loggers raid the forests of the southern islands made; Japanese land ownership is carried on in violation of prohibitory regulations—all these are told to us and find pub- lication in the daily press of the country. That there is a very definite Japanese problem already in existence in the Philippines seems to be the undercurrent of opinion among leaders here. . . . In a recent editorial written by the distinguished Clark Howell, editor of the one of our party, for his concludes: “Subconsciously the Japanese equation is thrust into the picture from every angle. As we go out to degrees will they enter in proportion? The advantage of their proximity is apparent. “Conceding that independence is established, and that Japan and the United States occupy the same relative position with the Philippines, we cannot Atlanta Constitution, newspaper from here, who have the advantage of both propinquity and the common sympathy of Oriental instinct. “Japan has everything to gain and nothing to lose by Philippine independence. Her brilliant Am- Saito, has time and again, in public addresses, said that Japan not only does not covet the Philippines, but that his country is ready to join the United States in guaranteeing its independence. “Which suggests that the peace and prosperity of all that part of the Pacific lying between Japan and the United States could be forever assured by the cooperation of these two great powers. “With the acceleration of air mail and passenger transit, San Francisco is now brought within four days of Manila, and only a day further from China and Japan, by the enterprise of the Pan American Airways. This in itself will do more to establish friendly relations between the two littorals of the Pacific than has been achieved by all the diplomats for the past half century. It will leave the jingo element of both countries little upon which to feed. Fortunately, they are decreasing in numbers on both sides. That a hostile attitude should ever be assumed by either Japan or the United States is un- thinkable. On the other hand, there is every reason for close cooperation and friendly intercourse be- an agricultural or raw material-| in| § HAPPY ‘ BIRTHD AY Horoscope | “The stars Zacline | » | The Empire extends congrctula- but do not compel | tions and best wishes today, their birthday anniversary, to the follos- ing | Kindly stars rule today, according JANUARY 14 Roy E.
