"We'II Continue to Toll, Not
Ring, the Liberty Bell"
Say Angered Islanders

MANILA, P. l., Jan. 10 U.N.S0.
An unexpected debate over the
Philippine independence bill
passed by the American Congress
broke out today in the Philippine
senate, where leaders declared:
Well continue to toll, not
ring, the liberty bell"
Senator Jose Clarin declared:
"The independence mission in
Washington, by not informing
Congress Of the real sentiment
Of the Philippine legislature and
the people toward the independ-
ence bill, has converted itself
into dictatOrs over the fate OF
the FilipinOs."
AS defenders Of the bill arose
to speak, President Manuel Que
zon threatened to "kill the bill
immediately" declaring that Suf-
ficient votes were available.
Opposition Strong
He revealed, however, that he
had agreed with the mission not
to act pending definite word from
them. He said:
Political and economic rela-
tiOns between America and the
Philippines during transition
fail to justify a pOstpOnement
NJ indomovaA0m0A
The measure requires concur
rent resolution of approval within
two years.
A poll of the lower house Of the
legislature taken yesterday re-
vealed that go members opposed
the bill and that three members
favored it.
Called "Humiliating"
Recognizing the apparent in
evitability Of restrictions on
Philippine-American trade, the
FilipinoS today were weighing in
the balance a choice between re-
strictions with independence, or
restrictions without independence
The Philippine Labor Congress
today declared the measure was
"humiliating and insulting to
Filipino laborers," but other labor
groups expressed belief it would
be better to keep laborers here
than let them go to America.
American business men here
scored the measure.

PARIS, December 2l.-Shadows OF
Germany's reputedly master spy system
were seen by police today behind the
operations of mysterious band of 40
spies in whose alleged network two
Americans were caught.
With 10 persons under arrest and
the investigation broadening outside the
borders of France, fears were expressed
by authorities that highly valuable docu-
ments containing French military Sc
crets already had left the country.
Threads of evidence leading to Berlin
we're declared to have been indicated
in the huge mass of confiscated docu-
ments studied by the investigating
magistrate.

The discovery of Communist docu-
mentS among the many papers and
books seized caused police TO believe
at first that Soviet espionage was in
yolved chiefly, but as the investigation
sped forward today officials conjectured
it might have been part of the plan
to allow such documents to be found.
With these developments police also
said they thought Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Switz, listed as having lived formerly
in New York and New Jersey, might
possibly have been merely tools in the
hands of the real leaders of the espion-
age syndicate who escaped abroad.
Police explained that the young
Americans were taken in custody
after they had been found in possession
of large sums of money. and with their
baggage packed, leading investigators
to believe they were prepared for flight
after having spirited the most impor-
tant military secrets across the from
