STAN correspondent OF Inc StdE.
MANILA, P. I.-Davao. city of
30 900 persons, located in the province
of the same name in Southeastern
Mindanao, may become an interna-
tionally known date line one of these
days as the locale of one of those
incidents" involving the rights of
Japanese nationals and perhaps the
destiny of the Philippine Islands. 1t
has already become to many the SYM
boil of Japan's peaceful economic con-
quest of the islands and of the lack
of wisdom displayed by the American
Congress in giving broad powers to
the commonwealth government at
Manila, while leaving the responsible
ity with the American Government.
The members of Congress who Wis
tied Manila for the Inauguration of
the commonwealth undoubtedly heard
more about Davao and Japanese COL
onization than any other single sub
ject, and they were undoubtedly i'm
pressed by what they heard. Certainly
the material is assembled there now
for what might easily become an ex-
plosion.
Davao is a comfortable days journey
from Manila by plane. In the munich
pality there are between 10000 and
$4,000 japanese. In the province,
with total population of 10000, the
number of Japanese is estimated as
from $4,000 to 10000. But the jap
anese are not only in virtual control
Of the city. but of the province of
Davao, through their large hemp and
coconut plantations and their lumber
holdings.
DavaO a Japanese Village.
In Davao one gets the impression
of being in a Japanese village. The
Japanese have their own schools, their
own monuments, their own stores and
restaurants and parks. One meets
there the courtesy and politeness of
which only japanese is capable. and
in Davao itself the most imposing
residence in town is the home of the
cousul and the compound, with the
tall pole from which the Japanese
flag floats in the breeze. The Japa-
nese buy what they need from Japan
and send what they make back to
Japan.
The story of what the Japanese
have done at Davao is a tribute to
their tremendous energy and willing
ness to work. What they have done
anybody might have done-but the

Declarer's next play is the four of hearts from dummy. Here again he must be careful. If he leads the eight of hearts, he will kill a re-entry and thereby lose a trick. The trick is won with the king and the ace of hearts imme- diately cashed, leaving the eight in dummy.
 The deuce of diamonds is the next play, and West wins with the ace. A small spade is led. Noth- ing could be lost by playing the queen in dummy. However, East covered with the king and declarer won with the ace.
 The seven of hearts is now played and the trick won in the dummy with the eight spot. De- clarer now cashes tn good king of diamonds, discarding the losing spade.
 Now you will see how valuable that small club is going to be to declarer. At this point, the eight of clubs is played from dummy and when East plays the five, declarer plays the seven, allowing dummy's eight to hold the trick. In this manner the club suit can again be led from dummy and the second finesse taken, declarer not losing a club trick.
 As a result of watching the small cards, six odd was made, for top score on the board.
