I April-12.—Laying the ‘ouridations for the future government. >f the Philippines the new Philippine songress has been wrestling in the foven months of its expistence with sarious problems of organization which have for their -fundamental >asis the foundation of a system of fovernment like both that of the Unit- 34 _States and that of Great Britain.- Out_of countless plans. and sugges- tons has now risen a counicl of state soon to be named by Governor Gen- sral Harrison. This council of state will_include both the speaker of the 0use and the president of the senate —Sergio Osmena and Manuel Quezon, respectively. Just what other mem- sers it will Include has not been stat- 3. It _will probably include aifo the tecretaries of the executive depart- nents. As_originally planned these secreta- des were to form a cabinet. Under he law organizing the new depart- nents, the secretaries and their assist- ints may be required to attend ses- ons of either house of congress to aid in the discussion of any law. This gives the executive departments reg- ular representation—without a vote— in congress. Then the plan was broach- ed of naming as secretary of the inte- rior, an office held over from the old regime and consequently open to a member of congress, Speaker Osmena. The Jones bill, passed by the United States congress in 1916, specifically prohibits the maming of a member of congress to_any office he has helped to create. This provision barred the local congress from carrying out the British system to its logical conclu- sion. But Speaker Osmena, after mature deliberation, declined the appointment as secretdry of the interior. In official circles it was freely stated—though not verified—that Osmena would not accept a cabinet appointment unless Quezon were also elevated to the cab- inet. Politicians saw In this a coming struggle for supremacy — friendly though it might be—between these two men, the big figures of Philippine po- litical life today. Either Quezon'de- clined a cabinet office or the provisions of the Jones bill made such an ap- pointment impossible. Whatever the truth of the matter, Osmena’s declina- tion made the plan impossible. It had been hoped to make his position as sec- retary of the interior, who was also a | member of the lower house, analagous to_that of the Eritish premier. The desire go secure an analogy to the British system, however, is served by the council of state. Whether this council of stat will provide for a pre- mier, the future alone will teil. If there is to be a premier, it is declared it must be Osmena, as he is not alone speaker of the house, but president of thé nationalista party,the predominant political group In the islands. Friends of Osemna state that he does not care to be premier at 2 time when Filipino control is not absolute. He feels that the failure of his government might be brought about by cirdumstances over which he had no control. Yet he per- sonally would. be held responsible and might jeopardize his entire life-work. He is not yet forty, and his career in Philippine life is brilllant with prom- ise. Murder Then Justifiable. Murder, of course, is a crime, but we feel that it is justifiable when a group of men are discussing the se- rious war situation for some dreamy- eyed individual to buit in with the auestion: . “Who is the champion ping-pong _ payer of _the United States?”—New Orleans States.
