The second mission, like the first, is
composed Of the leading men of the Is

pendence, but also to bring about "bet-
ter understanding, greater confidence
and closer economic relations between

States. Mr.. Quezon and the Hon. Ser
gio Osmena, Speaker of the Philippine
House Of Representatives and Vice
President of the Council Of State, are
the leaders of the Nacionalista party,
which has been in power since 1907.
While Speaker Osmena is not so we'll
known in the United States as Quezon,
he Is considered one Of the ablest men
in the islands. Senate President Que
zon recently referred to Osmena as
'the greatest Filipino since RIAL"
The personal relations between Os-
mena and Quezon are probably without
parallel in modern politics. They
have been the leading political figures
in the islands for IL years, yet there
has never been the slightest indication
of rivalry betweeA them. Throughout
their college life as well as their long
political service each has refused to be
a candidate for any position that the
other aspired to.
During the years Quezon was the
Philippine delegate In the American
Congress he won the esteem and con-
fidence Of both the Republican and
Democratic sides of the chamber.
Whenever he spoke he was assured Of
good attendance. One of the official
short hand reporters once declared
Quezon used the purest English of any
member of the House.
Osmena, as president of the Nacion-
alista party, is the leader of the ma
tional movement for independence.

the Philippines" said a leading Filipi-

Both Osmena and Quezon have been
