PHILIPPINES
BEGIN LIFE AS
FREE STATE
Secretary of War Dern De-
livers U. S. Greeting as
Proclamation Read
PEOPLE CELEBRATE
OPENING OF NEW ERA

MANILA, Nov. Is. (UP).-The
new Philippines commonwealth, a
transition government created
pending a grant of complete free
dom from the United States, was
proclaimed at 1925 a. m. today
with impressive ceremony.
The commonwealth will exist
for a ten-year probationary pc
riod terminating July 4, 1946 with
establishment of totally indepen-
dent nation. 1t officially came into
being when a proclamation by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
of the United States was read
from a flag draped reviewing
stand by Acting Governor-General
Frank Murphy. A warm sun and
clear skies prevailed as an esti-
mated 250,000 persons jammed
into P. Burgos avenue and squares
beyond, overflowing the steps of
the Philippines legislative build
ing and confines of the avenue to
hear the historic pronouncement.
A 3S-foot American flag and a
Philippine flag of equal size flew
directly above the reviewing stand.
Garlands were draped around the
speakers stand. The Philippine
constabulary band occupied a
stand on the avenue a short dis
tance away. Flanking it were rows
of University of the Philippines
reserve officers training corps
units. "
Prior to reading of the formal
proclamation, Secretary of War
George H. Dern, official represen-
tative of President Roosevelt in
the ceremony, delivered greetings
of the American people to the peo-
pie of the Philippine Archipelago.
"There's something unique and
inspiring in the spectacle of two
peoples voluntarily agreeing to
dissolve the bands which tie them
and go their separate ways, and
yet that is the event to which we
now eagerly look forward as
final consummation of the pro-
gram for Philippine indepen-
dence," Secretary Dern declared.

oath of office as first president of
the commonwealth, Manuel Que

BRITONS May
TAKE STRONG
STAND IN WAR
More Vigorous Efforts to
Block Italy and Pacify
Egypt Seen
(UNITED PRESS)

This significant statement today
came from conservative headquar-
ters in London in the midst of ju-
bilation over the governments
victory in the general election:
"It is better than we expected.
There has been nothing like it
since before the war;"
Into this statement can be read
the determination to return to the
old diehard Tory principles and
redoubled defense of the empire,
which is important in the face of
Italy's threat in the Mediterra-
mean Sea and Africa, and the re-
bellious movement in Egypt.
1t would not be surprising,
therefore, to see the government
proceed with more vigorous pol
icy against Italy, of course with
the active cooperation Of France
and other nations at Geneva.

PARTY
GAINS BELOW
EXPECTATIONS
Ex-Prime Minister Mac
Donald Fails to Regain
Seat in Commons
SIR SAMUEL HOARE,
LADY ASTOR ELECTED

LONDON, Nov. 15.-CUP)-
The British government won gen.
eral election when it's majority
passed the necessary mark of 308
seats in counting the votes for
the election for a new house
of commons. It had been expect
ed that labor party gains would
be larger, but the gains were far
smaller than even members of
the conservative national, labor
national liberal coalition had ex-
pected.
The Right Honorable James
Ramsey Mcdonald, former prime
minister and labor leader was de-
feated. Lady Astor was reelected
for Plymouth.
The conservative sweep failed
to carry Sir Malcolm Campbell,
famed auto driver, to victory in
the Deptfort constituency of Lon
don, the man who drove 800 miles
an hour on the salt beds Of Utah
last summer lost to Laborite w.
H. Green by 1000 votes.
Lady Nancy Astor's son, Will
liam Waldorf Astor, making his
first run for office, was also
elected.
Sir Samuel Hoare, conservative
foreign secretary and TIE man
upon whom will fall the burden
of protecting Britain's interests in
the international crisis, defeated
G. s. Sandlands, labor, 1892 to
6,348. Neville Chamberlain, chan.
cellor of the exchequer, was re-
elected.
Sir George Paish, famous eco-
nomists, running as liberal, lost
to a cricket captain in Liverpool.
George Landsbury, former lead
er of the labor opposition, won a
crushing victory in a campaign
based on the slogan-"anybody
who votes for me knows he is vot-
ing for an out and out pacifist."
He netted 1904 votes for 5707
Harold E. Weber, conservative,
at Bow and Bromley.
Baldwin received the returns
at No. 10 Downing street, the his
toric residence of the prime min
lister.
King George followed the re-
suits carefully. However, along
with peers, lunatics, bankrupts
and aliens, the royal family does
not vote.
Londoners made the elections
the excuse for a nightlong cele-
bration. Four thousand packed
Trafalgar Square to watch re-
turns flashed on anelectric sign
board while inebriated cockneys
rendered Swanee River and other
cold favorites." Hotels and bars
were busy. Hawkers peddled bal
looms and hap dolls.
Cabinet members reelected
Membership in Parliament is re-
quirement of cabinet members
included Sir Godfrey Collins,
secretary for Scotland; Sir How
ard Kingsley Wood, secretary for
health; secretary for dominions
J. H. Thomas.
Austin Chamberlain, former
First Lord of the Admiralty, was
elected from Birmingham West.

Court Holds Congress Exceeded Its
Powers In Drafting New Silver Act
With Retroactive Tax On Metal

brought by Percy A. Hudson,
who made a profit of $8,622 on a
silver transaction before the new
law went into effect. The Gov
ernment collected $4,311, or half
of the profit.
Counsel for Hudson took the
position that it was a new tax
and could not be made retroac-
tive. =, .
The Government argued that
there formerly was a small tax on
silver. The new law Federal at
torneys said, merely enlarged this
tax and thus the levy leagally
could be made retroactive.

Every farmer who his farm slipping away

BOARD GIVES
OUT STATEMENT

The Sheridan County Wheat
Production Control Association
sent an item to the Producers
News regarding the wheat restric-
tons for 1886. We are re-printing
part of it below, as another arti-
Gle covers the other points.
The 1885 adjustment payments
will be made to contract signers
whether they increased their seed
ings or not. However, all farm
ers Increasing their acreage under
this liberalization will have their
second 1885 payments impounded
until after it has been determined
that they have made the CORES
ponding reduction in 1886. If ten
ants change on a farm between
1885 and 1886, the 1886 tenant
will receive the second 1885 pay
ment.
The limitation imposed on the
acreage permitted to be sown on
non-contracted land has not been
changed. In other words, on non
contracted farms the acreage must
not be increased above either the
1888 acreage CT the base period
average acreage, whichever is the
larger.
Contract signers wishing to
combine two or more units under
joint compliance agreement OF
wishing to request permission
from the county allotment com
mittee to seed wheat for hay OF
pasture must do so before seeding;
as neither joint compliance agree
ments nor requests to seed wheat
for hay or pasture will be accept.
