IF ONLY I =.

If only were Bulldog Drummond, In time of need always summoned; To live daring, adventurous life, With others sharing peril and strife. I'd walk serenely down the street, Hoping some murderer or thief to meet; Tn the darkest nook of Chinatown, I'd accept all trouble without frown. I'd pick with ease the strangest locks, Steal in through windows like canny fox; Midst the fog's thick soupiness, I'd rescue maidens in distress. Such man I'd like to be, The only hitch is this you see; I'm not so sure I'd stay alert, And then again might get hurt!

TRADE PACT URGED
WITH PHILIPPINES
Senator Hayden Declares
: United States Should Hold
Island Market.
ny the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
!. MANILA, September 5.-Reciprocal
trade agreements between the Philip
pines and the Unitee States, United
States Senator Carl Hayden of Arizona
declared in a report made public here
today, should be sought against the
time the islands will be an independ-
ent nation.
2 Senator Hyde's report, which was
addressed to the head of the congress
sional delegation which visited the
Philippines late last year, was based
upon his own recent personal survey
Of conditions here.
The Arizona Senator recommended
strongly the maintenance of the
present trade relations between the
Islands and the American mainland.
"Any serious study of the facts" he
said, "compels one to conclude that
an independent Philippine government
cannot obtain revenue to maintain
Itself either nationally or in its local
branches without continued access to
the American market for a very con-
siderable volume of Philippine prod
aicts. ***
"If our Government Is seeking trade
Throughout the world, why should it
fail to hold and increase the market
for American goods in the Philip
pines?"
Senator Hayden suggested the State
Department and the Department Of
Commerce undertake an immediate
study of trade relations with the
Philippines, just as, other studies are
being made looking toward prospective
trade agreements with other countries.
He pointed out that American goods
sold in the Philippines in the past
decade had been worth $750, 900, ,o00
5 The congressional group which made
the Philippine survey was headed by
Senator Millard Il. Tydings Of Mary
land.
