Easy Way To Relieve Philippine
Tanqle

Something that deserves that overworked title,
experimenting. seems to be happening on the other
side Of the Pacific ocean these days. and we are not
giving it quite as much thought as it deserves.
The Philippines are in the process of gaining their
freedom. They are getting it peacefully. without
hloodshed, because the power which has ruled them
for a generation is getting out voluntarily. History
contaii no precedent for such action.
The l0-year independence plan seems to have won
Philippine approval by an overwhelming vote. There
remains. then. only the task OF getting through the
transition period as well as possible. Within a CON-
p~aratively short time the adventure which began
when Dewey's guns battered the Spanish fleet into
50 much scrap iron will be ended forever.
Yet we need not think that, because the die has
At last been cast. our own responsibilities are ended.
For the 10 years Of the transition period, the United
States still remains responsible for protection Of the
islands. Congress recently passed a law authorizing
appointment Of an American military mission to the
Philippines. America will retain the right to inter-
vene in island affairs until the decade Is UP.
Now there is no sense in denying that our rela-
tions with Japan are somewhat strained. There Is
also no sense in denying that there are some Jspa-
nese who would like to see the Philippines pass un-
der japanese domination. It is perfectly possible
that a combination Of these things might lead us
into an extremely difficult situation. even after we
have formally begun the task Of getting out Of the
islands.
Raymond Leslie Buell.. discussing the situation for
the Foreign Policy Association. suggests that there
are four things the United States can do to ease this
situation.
He suggests the granting of Independence now,
instead Of 10 years hence, to avoid the difficult tran
Hition period; signing Of a reciprocity agreement be-
tween the United States and the Philippines. to save
the islanders from economic collapse; employment by
the new Philippine republic Of expert advisers nomin-
ated by some such body as the League Of Nations;
and an international agreement among Pacific
powers to guarantee naturalization Of the islands.
In granting the Philippines their freedom. we are
trying to do two things: do justice to the islanders,
and rid ourselves Of a potentially embarrassing en-
tanglement. It may be that a program such as Mr..
Buell. suggests would do the job better than the one
now being followed.
It would be an ironic stroke Of fate If the
philippine question should involve us in trouble
after we had formally started to withdraw.

The insane follies into which people can be led by
race prejudice are s~trikingly iIlustrated-once again
by recent happenings In Germany.
Julius Streicher, mouthpiece for the extreme anti
jewish section Of the Nazis. has opened a campaign
to persuade people not to use discoveries In medical
science made by Jews. Such discoveries, he says, are
merely unpublished methods Of Jewish robbery and
murder. clothed in the mantle Of exact science"
Among the medical men whose methods he would
discard are such giants as virchow, Koch. wasser-
man, and Ehrlich-men whose work has saved un-
numbered thousands Of lives and prevented an in
finity of human suffering.
Cutting off your nose to spite your face is sane and
sensible compared with carrying your race pre-
judice to an extreme like this.

For a great many years, the transatlantic tourist
trade has been a one-way proposition. Hundreds Of
thousands Of Americans have crossed the ocean each
year to tour Europe, have gained much in the way
OF pleasure and cultural advancement as a result.
and have helped to enrich Europe by their expendi-
lures; but. there never was more than a thin trickle
Of European tourists coming to have a look at
America.
Now the tide has begun to turn. The devaluation
of the dollar has made an American tour less expen-
sive. and Europeans are taking advantage Of It.

We hear a lot nowadays about the problem child.
But many doctors are even more concerned with the
problem parent.
The old-fashioned father and the old-fashioned
doctor are convinced that the child who turns out
best is the one who has had a reasonable amount
Of parental discipline and control. A good old
fashioned English doctor said that parents have to
learn that the proper place to train a child is in the
home.
II the home does not train him, the school has TO
train him; IL the school does not train him. the
world has to; if the world does not. the Jail has to.
Each one Of the masters involved is likely to be
harder and harder, and each one may make less like
ly the possibility Of complete success.
There are two points OF view nowadays as to
whether the psychologist and the psycho-analyst
ought to be educating the womens clubs and the
parent-teacher associations into the mysteries Of
their calling. Psychology and emotional relationships
represent today one Of the most involved and diff
cult phases Of mental science.
The question arises as to whether parents are made
better or worse by a little knowledge in this field,
particularly when we realize the age-old proverb
that a little knowledge is dangerous.
One Of the difficulties which has recently arisen Is
represented by the trembling mother who comes to
the doctor wondering whether her attitude toward
the child will produce an inferiority complex. and
asking the doctor If she should not be a little less
firm.
Training is absolutely necessary for the inexperi-
enced mind OF the child. This is particularly true in
our modern civilization in which children are not al
lowed to roam freely In the community. but in which
they are likely to receive the vast majority OF their
training from the parents. nurses. governeSs. or do
mestics about the home.
An eminent English doctor calls attention to a new
condition which is called parental hypochondriasis
1t refers to the types Of parent who spends a lot of
time worrying about his relationships to his children
and who has finally developed the idea. following
consultations with amateur psycho-analysts and
similar people, that the hearing OF a healthy child
is a task Of superhuman difficulty.
