In which regiment are you? For whom
are you fighting?
Alas, l know.
When you do not even forward your

Why not? These old party captains

the wealth you create take all the rest.
You are not fighting your battles. You

country has redoubled by millions. The
foreign trade, to develop in the Philip
pines within the next Is years of $780,
100000, is small fraction only of the
wealth that is piling up in our own
