PHILIPPINES
T0GET AID0F
M'ARTHUR

International News Service
Having set in motion the re-
birth of the American Army, Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, d dashing,
handsome Chief Of Staff, today
prepared to sail for far-off Ma
nila to organize a little modern
army for the new Common
wealth Government of the Phil
ippines.
General Macarthur expects to
sail from San Franc.5co early
next month. His visit ostensibly
is for the purpose of attending
the inaugural ceremonies Of the
Philippine Commonwealth Gov
eminent. In realty, he is going
to discuss plans for taking
charge of the organization OF a
national defense force for the
new government.
His appointment by President
Roosevelt as head of U. S. mil
itary mission to the Philippines
Is expected to be made shortly
after Inauguration of the new
government.
Quezon Wants Him
Manuel Quezon, president OF
the Philippine senate, who ex-
poets to be elected first president
of the new commonwealth, al
ready has expressed his desire to
obtain MacArthur's services in
organizing a national defense for
the Philippines.
General Macarthur will con-
tinue in office as chief of staff
until the question of his appoint
ment as head of the U. S. military
mission to the Philippines has
been settled.
However, General Macarthur
is gradually turning over his
routine work to the deputy chief
of staff, Maj. Gen. George S.
Simonds, who will be acting
chief during his absence.
General Simonds is one of the
two high ranking Army officers
most frequently mentioned as
likely to succeed General Mac
Arthur. The other is Maj. Gen.
Malin Craig, commandant Of the
Army War College.
Impressive Record
General MacArthur's four-year
term as Chief of Staff expired
last November, but Presi d n t
Roosevelt shattered precedents to
retain him at his task of re-
vitalizing and modernizing the
Army.
During his four years as chief
Of staff, Macarthur, the youngest
general ever to hold that post,
devised and developed Army or
ganization. He established the
general headquarters air force,
and initiated a comprehensive
program of modernization in the
Army's tactics, equipment, train
ing and organization. In recog'
milton of these accomplishments,
Secretary of War Dern last week
pinned the Distinguished Service
medal upon General Macarthur S
already medal-laden uniform.
Son of a long line Of Army
men, Macarthur fought doggedly
to impress upon Congress the
necessity of checking the decad-
ence of the American Army. Year
after year he called attention to
the "deplorable" state of the
American military organization
which had fallen seventeenth in
rank among the armies Of the
world.

under provisions of the bill. The ap-
pointment would have come from the
governor, if he could be persuaded to DO
that. With the move Tor StoecKel SUD-
Governor Cross will do, as has been pre-
dicted. namely, appoint Senator Harvey
L.. Thompson, Commissioner of Public
Welfare. The senator was recently re-
jected as State Agent by the Senate.
However, much will now depend on the
Legislative attitude towards merger OF the
several state departments proposed at
various times. There is going to be DEM
ocratic opposition to the elimination of
the position of Commissioner of Domestic
Animals, Senator Edwin r. Dimock. There
is going to be fight over the administra-
ton of the old age pension which goes to
the State Agent if that job is retained or
the Public Welfare Commissioner if the
new office is created. All in all Hartford
is agog with rumors.
