Temporary discontinuance of the
collection of contributions to the
mutual aid fund was voted yester-
day afternoon at a meeting OF
the executive committee. At the
meeting, also, officers OF. the mu-
tuaI aid were reflected There is
now a balance of s55,750 in the
mutual aid treasury.
The contributions will cease on
February LIST, according to the
committees vote. However, If con-
ditio1s warrant resumption OF he
collections such an order will
be passed as the present pledge
cards do not run out until May.
Everything depends on how the
CWA, PWA and FRA work out and
whether or not business activity
increases.
1t is hoped that increased gov
eminent aid under the CWA and
FRA will take care of the unem-
played of Waterbury and thus re-
lieve people from contributing
weekly to the mutual aid. However,
il things do not turn out as good
as expected the mutual aid will
again swing into. action.

First there is the straightaway
proposition that we got into the
islands by acciden, never in
tended to stay, always have prom
Used then independence, and ought
to make good on our promise.
Second, there Is the fact that
we now buy and sell from the
Philippines on basis of free
trade. Free imports of sugar and
coconut oil irk American farm
ers, who feel that these imports
tend TO keep down prices and are
unfair competition. These special
farm interests now want indie
pendence, hot or cold, quick and
of any kind.
Third, abandonment of the
Philippines is all tied up with the
whole situation in the far east.
Other colonizing nations don't
want US to free the Philippines,
feeling that their colonies will
want the same treatment.
VEXING NAVAL QUESTION

fenseless either with or without
the American forces and defenses
there, form a military and naval

necessity for protecting American

So 1t is not a simple question
that has been dumped back into
the lap of the 73d congress just
when 1t thought the 72d had set
tied the matter forever.

The use of school buildings by

tons Is proper and the city cannot
be held liable for damages occur

AS long as the city receives no
corporate profit, 1t, cannot be held

school property to be used for GER

janitor service, was allowable and
did not render the city responsible
for any injuries suffered.

believing that, even with imper-
fections, it is the best that can be
had.
They believe that a new Philip
pine legislature, elected to take
office in June, would ratify the
present bill.
CONGRESS is ANNOYED
Congress, after passing the
Hare Halves Cutting bill last
year, believed it laboriously had
written the last chapter in the
long story of the Filipino strug-
gle for Independence. Now it sud-
denly finds that an appendix must
be added. Congress, harried by
the hectic state of our own affairs,
Is annoyed.
This anticlimax to so long and
so unceasing a struggle is espe-
cially unfortunate because If the
Hare Hawes-Cutting act expires,
it leaves situation that may be
misunderstood badly both in the
Philippines and the far east, espe-
cially in Japan.
Expiration of the act without
further statement of what we in
tend to do would lead many to
the conclusion that the United
States regrets extending indie
pendence to the Philippines and
now expects to keep them indefin-
itely.
TERMS ARE SNAG
The only way to prevent this
lapse in continuous policy
would be either by strong and
definite statement by the presi-
dent, pending further action by
congress, or by his appointment
of commission to plunge once
more into the mazes of conflict
ing interests and opinions that bear
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-16

Unless congress acts within the
few days remaining and it
probably won't-the whole. Phil
ippine question will go back : to
where 1t was several years ago.
There will be no specific legal
commitment or promise of indie
-pendence only the brave and
general promises that have
sounded SO emptily since Ameri-
can troops conquered the islands
after the Spanish-American war.
Several last-minute efforts are
being made here to prevent the
Philippine situation from lapsing
back into the uncertainty which
has cursed 1t for 20 years.
Manuel Quezon, head of
special mission from the Philip
pine legislature, is here submit
ing to President Roosevelt
be accepted in the islands. If the
by the justice Of this plan, he
might .equest immediate and spe-
cific action of congress.
MAY GET ACTION
And there Is a good chance
that this might be put through
at the presidential request, either
before or shortly after the pres
cnt offer Of independence expires,
as a substitute for it.
An independence plan that
would give the islands autonomy
not later than 1910 Is supported
by a powerful majority of the
island legislature.
The plan provides that the
pre3ent form of government be
continued unless freedom is
granted in two or three years. In
event autonomy were delayed un-
til 1910, it was proposed that a
responsible autonomous govern
ment be established in the mean
time"
SUBSTITUTES ARE DRAFTED
The foreign policy association,
endowed research body on foreign
affairs, has sponsored with the
world peace foundation a commit
tee which also has publicly pre-
sented revised program for
granting independence as substi-
tute for the expiring Hare Halves
Cutting law.
And Senator King Of Utah al
ready has submitted his bill, far
