LANDS
GO ON SALE

Sale by auction of the 175-acre
Swart farm probably will be the
first step in the liquidation of
the estate of bankrupt Swartzell,
Rheem and Hensey Company, ac-
cording to Fred J. Eden, referee.
The land, located between Four
Corners and Wheaton, Md. will
be disposed of under action taken
at a meeting of creditors to con-
slider offers the trustees have re-
ceived on property held by the
estate.
The Swart farm, also known
as the Labyrinth. has been ap-
praised at $3O,45O. An offer of
$4,000 received by the trustees
was rejected and another bid of
$4,000 was. made.
The auction probably will be
held in the next ten days.
The creditors have approved
offers made for three other small
parcels in the northeast section
and have rejected a bid on a
fourth piece. Upon certification
of these actions by the referee.
the trustees will apply to the Dis
trict Supreme Court for permis-
sion to sell.

10 years. One of the main
reasons for his removal, how.
ever, was that he was more
interested in social relations
than in his work"
Meanwhile, a congressional in
vestigation into the conduct of the
United States Employment Service
with a thorough airing of the
pickering that has hampered the
work of putting jobless men in
contact with jobs, appeared likely
today.
With unemployment appearing
so widespread this winter, and
likely to be an important factor
in the xt campaign, it is con.
sidered certain that there will
be an airing of the whole matter
once Congress gets back on the

A Filipino Speaks

When prominent Filipino warns the United States not to give his country independ- ence. it is time to sit up and take notice. Judg- ing from the catch-words and phrases that politicians have been hurling around the halls of Congress for the last five years we simply had to free the Philippines or suffer dire con- sequences. However. Vincente Villamin has different views on the subject In the first place the Filipinos don't need to be freed as they are that already. Mir. Villamin asserts that the bill of rights probably means more in the Philippine Islands than it does right here in the forty eight states.
 In addressing the Rotary Club yesterday noon Mir. Villamin, who is widely known as lawyer and an economist, stressed the need of giving the Philippines economic in- dependence before striking off their political letters. His plan is one that involves delay in the granting of independence for he be- lieves that if his nation was granted that to- day it would soon be impoverished and its inhabitants in the same class as the sub merged Javanese cooles The time isn't ripe for Filipino emancipation. There is "a period of education and readjustment to be passed through before the islands can go it on their own and take their place among other self governed peoples.
 To understand Vineente Villamins stand we have to do little tariff investigation. The United States is the natural port of Filipino products They are duty free. But when such products as eoooanut oil and sugar are imported. American producers com plain. Just imagine what Filipino producers would say if forced to send us eoeoanut oil and sugar under the present tariff rates. He couldn't do it and hope to survive long. It is Mir. Villamin's proposal that the Philip pines devote considerable attention to such products as eamphor. quinine. coffee. rubber, and fbers. None of these are raised in the states yet they are imported in enormous quantities and are on the free list.
 As heavy producer in these commodities the Philippines would be able to meet the tariff duties that would be imposed on pro. tected goods and at the same time not be forced to compete seriously with American. raised products. The reasoning is sound lt remains to be seen if Mr. Villamin can con. vince his own eountrymen of the logic of it. We arc inclined to think that the United States will be quick to favor such plan. for opposition to Filipino independence is on the wans. The danger apparently now is in with. holding this privilege until the lime is ripe: shs country Is prepared to meet the situation Juw 70 tslk few minutes with Mir. Vllamn !, 10 realize what . good influence the United S'a'ss hos been on the isIands. Our ownsrship
