Secretary United States Mission, American
Chamber of Commerce of the philippines.
As long as Emilio Aguinaldo, ex-
generalissimo of the Filipino 1nsur-
rection, and Leonard Wood, governor
general of the Philippines, continue
their firm friendship, all efforts OF
Filipino political leaders to cause Sc
rious local trouble for Gen. Wood will
prove futile. That, perhaps, is why
such a determined attempt was made
to depose Aguinaldo from the presi-
dency of the Filipino Veterans Asso-
citation and at the same time secure
the active adherence of that organiza-
tion to the activities of the pro-inde-
pendence party coalition. At the an
nual convention of the veterans. now

operation on the part of all elements
to the end of achieving good govern

highly praised Aguinaldo as the
greatest living Filipino, and disclosed
that he had offered him the post OF

Aguinaldo had declined. Wood also
stated that there is mo Filipino whose

When people think of the airplane,
they are apt to think of 1t as a means
of defense rather than as one of the
most valuable means of communica-
ton ever invented. The sooner that
we, in America especially, strike a
happy medium between the two ideas,
just that much sooner will we begin
to take our place as one of the aerial
countries of the world.
We are fully convinced that the
radio as a communicative means is
valuable: that railroad transportation
has done much to bring the borders
of this country land other countries
tool closer together; that the telephone
has contributed it's share in interna-
tional communication. But the possi-
bilities of the airplane scarcely have
been touched.
And yet it is faster than the rail-
road and more satisfactory than the
telephone and radio because it is able
to actually bring human beings into
direct contact with their neighbors.
Then 1t has another valuable asset,
that of transporting various commod-
tiles, such as food raw materials, silk
stuffs and other articles between coun-
tries that are far apart. For example.
Alaska, one of our largest possessions
and one about which little is known or
nderstood-probably because of its
distance from us-has many delicacies
that would prove popular here If they
were introduced to us. Reindeer meat
is one in particular, that before many
years elapse will be one of our staple
foods" This raising of reindeer for

tended substantially to pad the esti-
mates Of the actuaries.
The study being made by CHAIR
man Madden of the appropriations
committee and others advisory to the
House leadership-with first action
on liberaliZed retirement expected In
the House-is said to be along this
line:
Thev figure that the Government
already is obligated about 3OOO0,oOo
to the retirement fund. This Is not
actually due to be paid in, but the
theory is that the money ought 10
be appropriated and put into SINK
ing fund so as to take care OF oo'
lieations as they mature. Thus far
the Government has only paid inter
est on the money contributed by
the clerks themselves which the GOV
ernment borrowed to pay its share
of the annuities.
They figure that the average an.
nuity now is $533, and that the peo'
pie drawing this are those who have
contributed not one cent, or very
little, towards the retirement fund.
Under the present law, with maxi
mum annuity of $720, the employees
carry q ga per cent assessment,
while the cost to the Government Is
about / per cent.
On the basis of the pension pro
posed, with maximum of $1,000, the
annuities would average $8S4 The
proposed 31a per cent contribution
of their salaries by the employees
would make the Government contri-
button 1856 per cent. The Govern.
ment's contribution as against the
persons now receiving pensions
would be about SIS per cent, for the
contributions made by those now on
the retired roll Is relatively a neg.
ligible amount.

This speech somewhat took the sails

While unsuccessful in their effort
to enlist the active participation of
the Filipino veterans in the coalition

resolution of congratulation upon
the united independence campaign. but
this was coupled with recommends
tion that both parties be dissolved and
new party formed. Quezon rendered
his resignation as president of the Ma
tionalist- Consolidated party, but was
later persuaded to reconsider his ac-
ton.
