BY BEN McKELWAY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. MANILA, P. I.—There is a disposi- tion on the part of some people in the Philippines, as well as in' the United States, to believe that President Man- uel Quezon and his brother patriots have put themselves on the spot. Their reasoning, and maybe it is cor- rect, is to the effect that all the Fili- pinos ever wanted in the way of in- dependence was something to holler promise of independence, the Filipino leaders, according to this theory, are scared to death and afraid it will blow up, themselves along with it. There is some logic behind the theory. The only live issue the Filipino politicians ever had was independence. Any time a politician got in trouble he could up and shout for independ- ence and make so much noise about it that he had everybody else shout- ing with him. To those who knew the ropes the fight was not unpleasant. | There were trips to Washington, with | all expenses paid, and the Filipinos could always make a better speech | than most of the Congressmen, and | they knew all the answers to all the | questions. Then along came the de- | pression in the United States, a loud howl from organized labor and the | farm belt for protection against Philip- | pine labor and Philippine products, | and the Filipinos had their independ- | | ence.—or all they want of it just now. Ask Helpful Co-operation. Now, with all the grave problems of | independence ahead of them, the Fili- | pinos are pictured as being up against it—which is undoubtedly where they | are. They are asking for helpful co- | operation from the United States in the “common battle that lies before us,” and all that sort of thing, and they will probably get it. But there is another way of lpoking | with gray matter under his hat, has | | at the peor Filipino leaders, and that | is to conclude that they are about the | | smartest people on the face of the earth. They have been able to do | what practically everybody who ever knew anything about the Philippines | has always warned should not be done. They have made Uncle Sam | look like a sentimental but not very bright old gentleman in the eyes of a | | large part of the world and they have | control of the government, their Pres- | | ident is sitting in Malacanang Palace while the earnest young ex-governor | general, now high commissioner, has | an office in the Elks' Club and the THE EVE Independence, Long an Issue for Politicians, May Prove Boomerang for Philippine Islands L 4 PRESIDENT MANUEL QUEZON, Reading his inaugural address. —Wide World Photo. loan of a mansion in Baguio. They | have most of the power and good old Uncle Sam holds the bag. In addi-| tion, they have put the United States | in the position of giving up one of | the potentially richest spots in all the world—not to the Filipinos but to the busy Japanese, Quezon Has Good Aides. President Manuel Quezon, as like- | able a fellow as anybody is apt to meet anywhere and a smart politician | been largely responsible for getting | independence with all it may mean to those who run the works. It is better | than a 50-50 chance that with Maj. Gen. Douglas MacArthur borrowed from the United States Army to sit | at his right hand and run his army | and High Commissioner Prank Mur- phy sitting at his left hand, his highly emotional Irish soul all worked up| over the nobility of the thing and | doing all the worrying, he will get along fairly smoothly for the next five vears at least. And then, when the Tydings-Mc- Duffie independence bill really begins | to pinch and the Philippine cigar in- | dustry goes flat, the Philippine em- | broidery industry pops out, the pearl button industry folds up and dies, the coconut oil crushing industry becomes ill and the sugar industry begins to | wobble, there may be trouble. Most of these industries are centered around Manila, the political capital Sugar alone accounts, according to an estimate as of the year 1932, %hich generally holds good today, for 63 per cent of the income of the islands' | sion—which was logically imposed as | from foreign trade and 30 per cent of the total income of the islands. Forty-seven per cent of loans, over- drafts and advances of 10 Philippine banks and 3 private agricultural | financing companies are tied up in| sugar. Seventy-seven per cent of the Government-owned Philippine Na- | tional Bank's loans, advances and | overdrafts are advanced on sugar, and | the Philippine Island railroads, ali of | them losing money, gain most of lhl‘u’“ revenue from handling sugar. Philip- | pine sugar is profitable only when sold | |in the free markets of the United | States, Export Tax Provided. The Tydings bill provides that after | five years an export tax of 5 per cent of the normal tariff on -dutiable products originating in the Philippines | | shall be applied, the tax increasing each year thereafter. Within two years after the export tax begins the indus- tries mentioned will be on the rocks, according to Government experts, with the possible exception of sugar, which | has been making so much money. ac- cording to the same experts, that | profits and wages could be reduced and it would still get along. But a sad-faced sugar man told me that at the end of two years the sugar business would be flat as a pancake and the | islands would be ruined. Unless the Tydings bill is amend- | ed, removing the export tax provi- a method of preparing the islands for the day when the ax would really| fall—and unless some reciprocal trade | agreement with the Phiippines can he counted up and said he could trace 203 descendants, but was sure there were many more. = 5 | SPECIAL NOTICES. | PATLY TRIPS MOVING LOADS AND PART Ioads to and from Balto.

France has no particular interests in Ethiopa. The British are more difficult They are | afraid too large a slice might make Il Duce so strong that he will develop | his appetite and want bigger and bet- | ter portions of what the Italian press has been calling, until a few days ago, “the British carcass.” Mussolini’s acceptance or rejection of the new peace proposals depends | largely on whether or not they con- tain all the Ethiopian territories which border Erytrea and the Italian Soma- liland, so that the Italian East*Afri- can colonies should extend from the | Red Sea to the Indian Ocean without | any buffer states in between. While Il Duce refuses to com= ment on the Laval-Hoare proposals until Downing Street gives its final o. k. he has intimated to the French and British Ambassadors in Rome that they might form a sat- isfactory basis for discussion. It is doubtful, however, that he will | accept the suggestion that military | operations shall be suspended during the peace conversations. Marshal‘w Bodoglio 1s strongly opposed to it,| since he has only three more months to fight. After March 15 the rainy season begins and a forced armistice must take place * ok kX That the League of Nations will be compelled to postpone the oil sanc- tions appears probable. It is clear to the Geneva diplomats on American oil until the Congress convenes. While London and Paris United States is strongly in favor of such an embargo, the British are re- luctant to embark-upon & policy which might lead to an irreparable break with Italy merely on the assumption that the United States would place oil on the prohibited list. X oK K % ' In diplomatic quarters such-a post- ponement is considered a blessing. If an oil embargo is not ordered by the Committee of 18 at Geneva until the United States Congress decides what to do, friendly conversations with Italy can be carried on. It is unlikely that Congress would tackle this question before some= time in February. Then, even if an embargo is decided by the United States, the League nations can con= tinue the peace conversations, be- cause Mussolini will be willing o A This Changing World Mussolini Smacks Lips in Anticipation of Having Ethiopian Bird for Christmas—British an Obstacle to French Aims.

He might as well turn the rainy season in Ethiopia to his ad- vantage and sign an armistice for siz months—the duration of the East African rains, when the Fascist troops must mecessarily remain in their cantonments. | Delaying the solution of major prob- lems is one of the chief tricks of | diplomacy. | * ok ox % | But whatever the League may think or do, Mussolini is determined to con- | tinue the East African campaign and | gain as much territory as possible | within the next three months. This | would put him o a better bargaining position, if the present peace attempt | of Laval and Hoare fails. oy The brunt of the new offensive falls upon Gen. Graziani, the youngest and probably the ablest Italian commaader in East Africa. Graziani is only 52 years old and spent most of his life in Eritrea and Cyrenaica. During the World War, ia which he served as a captain, he was | wounded several times. In 1918 he was already a colonel. He won his spurs as a tried warrior in the 1921 campaign against the Seaussis in Lybia and has been studying the Ethiopian campaign ever since he be- came governor of the Somaliland, in 1930. * Xk * X% His opposite number—in the Ethi- opian camp—is Ras Nazibu, the 6- foot-4-inch Ethiopian general.

And unless the politicos watch their step, they will he in hot water, too. But will they? If rioting and blood- shed should be the result of the treat- ened economic collapse, there stands patient old Uncle Samj with his soldiers and his Navy, ready to step in and take charge of the hungry Tao, provided Gen. MacArthur’s and Pres- ident Quezon's constabulary cannot ride him down. And if the situation should become serious enough, Uncle Sam must step in, take charge and try to work out another fine plan, based on idealism plus tariff protec- tion. And whose fault would it be? Surely not the fault of the Filipinos, but of the responsible United States which cruelly tried to cram independ- ence down the throats of the poor Filipinos. Filipino Leaders Well Off. The Filipino leaders are pretty well off and have been right smart. They have brought a lot of Congressmen and newspaper men out here on the king pin of all junkets, who had to study the map to find out where the Philippine Islands were and whether to spell them with two I's and one p or one 1 and two p's. They have permitted the members of Congress to discover the Japanese menace at first hand, with the Japanese kindly co- operating by shooting the works in China, and they have shown them the kindly, friendly, studious and likeable Filipino happily attending cock fights, | playing symphony music, doing ex- quisite embroidery -and reading heavy ONE GRAND CHAIR!!! 5. books, permitting the Cougressmen to form their own conclusions as whether anybody should be allowed do him wrong. t Manuel Quezon, who has something of Mr, Roosevelt's facility for making people eat out of his hand, has elo- quently said “We know that God helps those who help themselves,” but this is “equally a pine and an American experiment. Success or failure will be & credit or a discredit to both.” And some of the Congressmen have gone home shaking their heads and saying they wished they had known what they know now and this Philip- pine business is pretty serious. The Filipino is a smart fellow. For 10 years he can have all the fun and Uncle Sam can stand around and pick up the trash and keep the furniture from being broken yp. And after 10 years—well, 10 years is a long way off. A lot can happen in that time and doubtless will. The third article by Mr. McKel- way will appear tomorrow.
