REVIEWS CASE
OF PHILIPPINES
Frederick V. Field Asserts
Japan Unlikely to
Invite Clash.

En- Scripps- Howord Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK, Dec. II. - The
Manila dispatch from Roy W.
Howard warning that the Filipino
dream Of independence was fading
continued to provoke discussion to-
DAY among authorities on the Orient.
The following statement was made
by Frederick V. Field, secretary Of
the American Council Of the Insti-
tute Of Public Relations:
The question Of Philippine indie
pcndence involves three factors
The Far Eastern policy of the
United States. the expansion Of
Japan, and the internal strengthing
Of the Philippines themselves.
With regard TO the first factor,
the maintenance of America s ira
ditional rights Of equal trading OPP
portunitieS in the Far East may be
accomplished in two days First
costly naval competition may make
1t possible for this country to main
tain a policy in fact which it is now
able to do only in principle. Sec
Cndly, the United States can put
greater reliance on collective ma
Chinery such AS that being applied
today in the Italo- Ethiopian dispute
through the agency of the League
Of Nations.
Rests on Naval Power
IF there is anything to be learned
from the latter 1t is that the apphca-
ton Of sanctions depends on naval
strength, and applied to Far East
ern policy, this would mean strong
British and American Pacific fleets.
Either course therefore involves :
strong military position directed
against any encroachment on
American traditional policy, and a
strong military position almost Ger
tainly implies the continuation of
some sort Of protectorate over the
Philippines.
Perhaps the only prospect for
actual Philippine independence lies
IN a marked withdrawal of the
OhlJed states from It's traditional
Far Eastern policy. But it should
be noted that such withdrawal i'm
plies 10 turn a willingness and an
abilit. on the part of American in
dustry TO give up the right TO Spe-
clal protection in what is still re-
Gardcd, rightly or wrongly, as the
greatest potential market in the
world.
Middle Ground
A middle ground between these
two alternatives which would prob
ably modify international conflict
involves naval limitation, extensive
trade agreements and a tariff ana
foreign loan policy designed to meet
the needs of foreign countries as
we'll as those Of the United States.
In regard to the second factor,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-12-17

there is no substantial evidence at
hand which would give credence to
the fear Of japanese occupation of
the Philippines. Japanese trade
expansion in the Philippines has
taken place normally in a competi-
tive international society and there
has been little indication of Japan
ese military or political interest to-
ward the islands. When consider
ing possible japanese action, it must
be remembered that the United
States legal position in the islands
on the basis of present legislation
runs for a number Of years more.
1t is hardly possible that Japan will
invite a head-on collision with the
United States.
Exploitation Is Problem
With respect to the third factor,
the internal strengthening and de-
veloping of the Philippines, one Of
the principal questions is whether
the new administration of the is
lands will be able quickly and sal
iSfactorily TO solve the question Of
the exploiting Of Filipinos by Fill
pinoS and to deal with the system
of usury and tenancy
THE exploiting Of the peasantry
by the land wealthy has been tradi-
tional in the Philippines as in other
colonial areas, and has not been
eliminated by either the Spanish or
American regimes. Whether the
FilipinoS themselves can solve this
question is an important determin-
ing factor III the future stability Of
the new administration.
The mere continuation of the
present policy of paternalism and
general welfare toward the bulk Of
the population of the Philippines,
without a more consistent effort
either to strengthen the system of
landlordism or to destroy it. might
easily lead to a social situation
which would lend itself to actual po-
litical upheaval. with the risk of
interference from outside powers"

LIBERAL VICTORY IN CANADA.

The similarity of even political thought between the United States and Canada is reflected in the election of this week in the neighborng country. Canadians went to the polls and in a sweeping victory chose at least l65 representatives of the Liberal Party to occupy seats in the House of Commons The final check may reveal greater majority.
 The campaign in Canada, with it's Liberal and Conservative parties resembled closely the political in this country of the last few years and is not unlike the anticipated fight for votes that is under way here for 1886. The Canadian Con- servative Party is much like what in this nation term the Republican Old Guard while the Liberals lean more to broader Democratic principles such as have been promoted the last few years by own Democratic Party.
 It is not at al reactonaries both sides of the lines would sometimes have believe, lead ing to Communism any other of the isms foreign to sound American Canadian thought. Rather it is simply carrying out all the provisions of our present system It is moving away from the ill., conceived plan of letting special interests hold sway and working toward the betterment of the whole people It is attempting to avoid in the future such debacle as occurred in our own country in 1929 and which sent millions to the bread line until a kindly and broad-minded government had to step in to supply
 Canadians and Americans thinking and alike, the elections in the Dominion from time to time reveal We are all, on both sides of the line, descendants of people who across the ocean imbued with spirit for better things and greater opportunity. From time to time we have to clean up our political fence rows to keep professional politicians from despoing that oppor- tunity.

AVIATION TO NORTH GETS BOOST.

Near Everett, down in the State of Washington, plans going roward for the construction of a super commercial airport to be built under Govern ment direction and with the bulk of the funds com ing from the Federal treasury. Located IS miles north of Seattle, the field is expected to be one of the largest and most modern in the country and promises to be the forerunner of several such air. ports that will be constructed in the United States during the next few years.
 AS Washington State and Seattle is Aaska's closest contact with the States, the Northland is especially interested in the program it gives a definite encouragement to the long sought regular plane service between the Territory and the States Coupled with the tentative program of three million dollars for airport development in Alaska, it lends especially interesting note to the future of avia tion development in the North.

 It is fortunate that this critical hour finds Eng land France, the Soviet Union and virtually all of the smaller countries apparently standing more firmly behind the League covenant than at any time since 1919. That should make a wise and courageous decision less difficult to arrive at. And both wisdom and courage are needed. Unless some unforeseen circumstance tempers Mussoni's wrath, it is clear that the League must decide that Italy is guilty of planning an attack Ethiopia. If it is so decided at Geneva and Italy proceeds to wage war upon Ethiopia, then, under strict interpre- taton of the covenant Italy will be automatically at war with all the members of the League

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. (UP)
The United States yesterday
sharply warned the Soviet govern
ment chat it must cease commu-
nistic propaganda activities in this
country or face severance of dip
lomatic relations.
Diplomatic observers, however,
insisted that breaking off of re-
lations now would be the last
thing desired by the state depart
ment.
This nations position was made
known in a sharply-worded note to
Maxim Litvinoff, peoples commits
sar for foreign affairs of the
U. S. S. R., signed by U. S. AM
bassador William Bullitt and ap-
proved by the state department.
The note grew out of a recent
meeting in Moscow of the Comm
tern, the international organiza-
ton of the communists, at which
elaborate plans were made to
spread "red" propaganda in the
United States. Bullitt said this in
cident was a fragrant violation"
of the pledge given to this govern
ment by Soviet officials when dip

lomatic relations between the two
countries were resumed on Nov.

At that time, the note pointed
out, the U. S. S. R. agreed:

Litvinoff signed the agreement.
Yesterday, Bullitt reminded him
of this pledge as he said;

States would be lacking in candor

sequences if the government OF
