PAUL V. M'NUTT
 BACK REPORT
Mysterious Envoy Left United States for PhiIip-
 pines Ten Months Ago

San Francisco, Feb. 17-(UP)- Paul V. McNutt, who left the United States 8 political question mark less than year ago to become high commissioner to the Philippines, returns today to report to Washing ton first hand on the exploding sit- uatio.. in the Orient and possibly to clarafy his intentions" toward the 1940 presidential campaign.
 McNutt is due here today from Honolulu aboard Pan American Airways' Hawaii clipper. He and Wayne Coy, his administrative as- sistant, will hurry east immediately.
 Three-Fold Significance
 1. He will one of the first Amer ican officials-if not the first-to bring President Roosevelt direct in- formation regarding the Sino-Japa- nese war and how it is affecting American interests in the Orient.
 3. He is expected to give full, if informal, report to his superiors on his first 10 months as high commissioner, including his fresh observations on the Japanese colo nization of Davao, rich southern province of the Philippine archi- pelago.
 3. He reinjects himself directly, if temporarily, into the domestic political scene amidst mounting speculation that he may seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 194O.
