with tears in their eyes asking for de-

America and Europe asking for the Fill
ipino side Of the story. but they are
unable to answer and cannot communi-

government. Only few days ago,
they assured me that their leaders would
not allow any attack to be begun upon
th. American forces and would even
avoid a threatening attitude rather than
shoulder the responsibility of conflict.

dumbfounded and are completely ut a
