It can aot be said that President Roose: velt’s leadership has disappeared, nor does it ever appear that he will lose many, if any, of the remaining major legislative battles of the ses- sion. What has happened with respect to the tax bill and other things is notable chiefly for what it may| mean in the more distant future, should Mr. Roosevelt be re-elected. A’ President serving a first term ind one serving a second term are ‘wo entirely different figures politics. It is not uncommon Ior Congress to take the ball away from a Chief Executive it knows will not ‘ome up again as a candidate. That happened to Theodore Roose- /elt, and to Woodrow Wilson.

A bridge between Tangku and Tientsin was destroyed in an attempt to wreck a Japanese troop train. No casualties were reported. Chinese authorities said they feared the Japanese might construe it as their action. The Japanese are reported sending more troops to the nervous city which con- tains 800 American soldiers and a large American colony - Plans to Make Philippine Isles Invasion Proof Major Getitral Douglas MacArthur Getting Ready for 1945 MANILA May 30.—Plans to make the Philippine Islands virtually “in- vasion proof” with a fleet of tiny high speed fighting craft and rel- ! atively large but fast moving army reserves, was revealed by Major | General Douglas MacArthur, when the Philippines become an Inde- pendent Republic after 1945 Major General MacArthur said there would be an offshore patrol of fifty to a hundred small defense ships capable of making fifty to sixty miles an hour, four hundred thousand trained army reserves, a 250 plane air force, and a compara- tively small standing army. In 30 years he added there would be one million two hundred thousand army reserves, ‘With a leadership such as af- forded President Quezon, these Is- lands will become a great nation, the Orient's gateway to the Far East.
