(New York Times) The plan agreed upon by President Roosevelt and President Quezon to extend our preferential trade agreement with the Philippine Commonwealth from 1946 to 1960 may not meet the approval of those who fear the competition of Philippine sugar or coco- nut oil., . Yet, considered in the light of Philippine his- | tory since Dewey sailed into Manila Bay nearly forty vears ago, what is contemplatc 1t most the barest It does not mean free It means merely trade 1al increase of duties to the full amount a reprieve, not a pardon. The economic life of the Philippines today. inciud- ing the flow of exports and imports and the standard of living of the people, is largely our own creation Until 1898 we had virtually no contact with the islands When Dewey assumed command of the Asiatic Squa- | dron in 1897, the latest data he could find about them in the Navy Department were «already more than twenty years old. We took possession in an expansion- ist mood cre which originated in the Caribean and ha connection with the Philippine Having taken n and having persuaded the inhabitants by force of arms that o ntentions were good, we did, indeed, confer som the blessings of civilization, including sanitation, edu- cation and new markets, Before we took the Philippines we had been buy- rom them about $6,500,000' worth of goods a year, By more ir elling to them about $1300,000 worth of goods. 1936, despite the depression, we were buying than $107,000,000 worth of goods, or nearly 84 percent f the islands’ exports; and selling $61500,000, or (hout 60 percent of all their imports.

EASTER SUNDAY Easter Sunday was perfect during Early in the morning there was a slight drizzle, just sufficient to lay the dust, and then the sun came out and was visible for the greater part of the forenoon and afternoon. Easter services were well attend- ed, in fact extra seating arrange- ments had to be made to accom- modate the worshippers, In the evening, about 7 o'clock, there was rain, but Easter Sunday was over and the Easter parade was a thing of the past, under a warm sun. e FLY TO TENAKEE J.
