Mr. Venancio Concepcion is important, because he | shows that the Philippines are ripe for independence, representative government, democracy, and so forth. | Some time ago, Mr. Concepcion, as president of the ’ Philippine National bank, resorted to the good, old-fash- ‘ioned American process of using the bank’s funds to boost himself, family and friends. A lower court con- ‘ victed Venancio, his son and another of the bank’s of- ‘ficials. But, the Philippines have a supreme court and 'Venancio had money enough to move his case up to that body. Now, the Philippine supreme court has acquitted ' Venancio, by a vote of 5 to 4. Doesn't this sound U. S.? Doesn’t it show that the ' Philippines are able to do things just as we do them?

Surgeons re- moved his fractured ribs and replaced them with ribs of gold and platinum. Now the young man says he lives in a perpetual night- mare, afraid hold-ups will operate on him and take his ribs. We don’t know the chances of that in Germany, but over here it would be nearly a certainty.
