New Philippine Republic AP Newsfeatures MANILA.—Torn but tempered by history’s toughest war, the Philippine Commonwealth —be- comes a republic July 4 with a govettiment patterned — closely after that‘ of its political parent, the United States. Except fer broadened execu- tive powers, asked by President Manuel A. Roxas in his recent message to Congress, and reor- tion of ‘the . executive h, the transition to indepen- @ence brings no departure from governmental: procedures estab- lished in 1935. The president asked for and probably will get expanded- powers to cope with the Philip- two. most pressing prob- itruction and econ- omic rehabilitation . Of the pair,, reconstruction of: devastated Manila and other war- wrecked cities is a_ relatively simple matter of money and ma- terials. But the archipelago’s eco- nomic ills, as reflected by spirial- ing prices, agrarian unrest and widespread banditry, , offer the real challenge to the new-born blic. independence Day in the hot, | sprawling islands heralds a new era in the Orient, whose multi- lingual millions elsewhere have; been insistently demanding self-; determination and a start on the road to the four freedoms. The unprecedented grant of in- dependence to 17,000,000 Fili-; pinos is viewed as deeply signifi- eant. Many observers say that the course of future events in this part of the world will be influ- enced strongly by progress in self- rule made in the Philippines. ‘The republic has a firm dem- cratic foundation whose speci- fic outlines were drawn by the Tydings-McDuffie Act signed by the late President Roosevelt March 24, 1934, and accepted by the commonwealth congress May 1. The act provided for a dual in- strument consisting of a perma- ment constitution and an ordin- ance governing relations between the United States and the Com- monwealth for a period of ten years from November 15, 1935. The ordinance was ratified by the Philippine electorate, women included, in a national plebiscite. A constitutional convention adopted a document similay to the L. S. constitution, it which placed broader powers in the hands of the executive and co..- tained revisions to conform with the provincial government sys- tem. The constitution originally provided for one six-year presi- dential term and a umcarmeral assembly. This was amended in 1940 to limit the terms of the president and vice president to four years and to provide for one immediate reelectivn. The bicameral legislative system Is Patterned After U. S. &.
