QCEZON FEELS ALARM.

MANILA. August 81 P).-Manuei
QueZon, president of the Philippine
Senate, addressing that body last
night, asserted that the Washington
adminstra ton had reversed it's for
mer policy regarding the Philippines
and that the cause of independence for
the Philippines was { cling a real dan
ger. Quezon said:
The Washington administration
could not have made more clear its
reversal of policy in the Philippines
than by its failure to counteract the
presentation recently of reactionary
measures in Congress. l feel that if
the Republican party wins the next
presidential election a clause against
independence will be added in it's plat
form and that the Philippines will be
annexed TO the United States, like
Hawaii.
If we care 20 see independence for
the Philippines, we cannot fold our
arms and wait for the good will of
the administration. We must fight
for our quests within the domain. of
peace, law and order to prevent the
United States committing an act OF
injustice against the Philippines and
to compel her to fulfill her solemn
pledge given in the Jones law.
OueZon asserted that an anti-inde-
Dendence section of the American
press was at present preparing the
American mind for the eventual an
nexation of the Philippines to the

BELGRADE HOPEFUL.
Inclined to Consider Revolt a:
Normally" i'm Greece.

By Radio>to The Star and Chicago Daily News
VIENNA, August 24.--The Bel
arade government is following the de-
velopments in Greece with keenest in
terest. Officially no confirmation has
been received relative TO the, nulllfl-
cation of the GrecoJugOslaV treaty
OF friendship. though the newspaper
| reports reiterate that Gen. CondYils
has announced that all foreign trea-
ties concluded by the deposed dictator
Pangalos will he suspended pending
parliamentary ratification.
The Jugoslav government believes
this is mere formal gesture. Po-
litical experts predict that the Con
dvlis regime will be even more friend
w toward .Iugoslavia and sharper to-
ward Italy than was Gen Pangalos.
Experts point out enthusiastically
that Gen Condylis urged Greece TO
ioiu Serbia against the central pow
ers in 1916. Also Gen Condyiis de
clared, on taking over the govern
ment, that Premier Mussolini. as
great nationalist patriot himself. must
realize that the Greek government
was bound to protect Greek minor
tiles on the Italian owned Dodecanese
Islands.
On the whole, therefore. Jugoslavia
is inclined to consider the revolution
as normally" in Greece, with the
nossibilitv of a more democratic mill
tary man replacing another more die
tatorial.
From several Greek cities it is re-
ported that revolutionary committees
are demanding Gen. Pangalos' eXecu-
ton. II is also reported that mob
attempted to lynch the ousted die
tator on his arrival at Athens under
arrest.
