There is considerable difference.

Anyway, much jiggety roads and up and down bridges on Key Largo will be eliminated as well as one bad curve, which cuts di- rectly at a 90-degree angle and is dangerous.

Economic Five or six years ago any Filipino so politically blind as to campaign for office on a_ plat- form advocating the maintenance of the Philippines on their then existing basis as an American colony would have gone down to ignominious defeat. Today, a candidate advocating absolute Philippine freedom would have about as much chance of political survival as a snowball in July. Four years back, when Congress passed the Tydings-McDuffie Act, providing for complete in- dependence for the Islands in 1946, the Islands put on the greatest celebration in their his- tory—the ambition of, all Filipino patriots had been realized. Last November a plebiscite was held, and where 45,000 Filipinos voted in favor of maintaining the Act in its present form, more than 1,350,000 voted to modify it. There is plenty of reason for; that rather astonishing shift of Island sentiment. The Philip- pines are worried. There are two primary worries—one has to do with their economic life, and the other with their security as a} people and a nation. As Newsweek expresses it, “The average Filipino fears that independence will mean _pover- ty”. So long as the Islands re- main a U. S. dependency, Philip- pine exports can enter this coun- try without tax or duty—and we, of course, provide their greatest single market. Under the terms of the Tydings-McDuffie Act, as the day of freedom nears, Island goods are to be subjected pro gressively to our tariffs. That would neturally mean _ higher prices for Island-raised produce here, more competition, and de- clining sales. It would be’ virt- ually essential for the Islands to revolutionize their economy, if they were to escape economic disaster. That would be a diffi- Highlights jeult revolution indeed, and so far, apparently, little progress to-/ ward that end has been made. So far as Philippine security is concerned, the great fear is Ja- jpan. Nippon frankly wants the jIslands, which are relatively close {to her shores. The Japanese jhave already penetrated deeply {into the economic life of the Is- lands, and are the dominant fig- ures in a number of major indus. tries. The Philippines have laws ‘designed to restrict Japanese property-holdings, but, according ‘to reports, the wily subjects of the Son of Heaven have found little difficulty in getting around them, by the use of “dummies” jand similar stratagems. The U. S. Army, it is known, is not enthusiastic for the Is- lands—it regards them as being dangerously close to being inde- fensible against a major fleet such as that possessed by Japan, whch has sources of supply with- lin reach. ' The Navy, while it too appreciates the difficulties of de- fense, wants the bases in the Far East which the Islands 'provide. So the admirals are generally in favor of modifi- cation of the Tydings-McDuffie j Act. { What happens to is of considerable importance to this country. We have invested scores of millions there, and we to the Islands annually. Some argue that the best out is to en- courage the Filipinos to change for us tea, pepper, quinine and other ‘commodities which we must buy from foreign na- tions. In the meantime, senti ment in favor of modification ‘of the Tydings-McDuffie Act grows, especially since it majority of Filipinos favor it too. There is a good chance that Congress will listen and act.
