Tert OF Forum Talk by Com
missioner McNutt on Page At.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, March l5.-President
Manuel Quezon today agreed with
High Commissioner Paul " McNutt
that the question of Philippine inde-
pendence should be re-examined in the
light of recent disquieting world events.
The dapper executive. who has advo-
Gated immediate independence, con-
CURED after listening to a broadcast
from Washington, D. c., in which MIR.
McNutt urged that American SOW
erelgnty should remain in the islands.
Under the Tydings-M -McDuffe Act, the
Filipinos are guaranteed independence
in 1916. Mr.. McNutt asked immediate
cooperation of Filipino leaders and
Americans in realistic re-examina-
ton of their long-range interests and
our own"
Urges Free Choice.
President Quezon agreed to this In
a statement, but stipulated that the
Filipinos should be left "a free choice"
in the final determination.
During trip to the United States
last year, he created political furore
here by advocating immediate inde-
pendence for the islands, accompanied
by economic guarantees.
Un his National Radio Forum
speech, arranged by The Star and
broadcast by the National Broad
casting Co. here last night, Mr..
McNutt predicted that "if our flag
comes down, the Philippines will
become bloody ground and the CEN
ter Of war within war for a genera
ton"
(The High Commissioner of the
Philippines spoke on the eve of his
departure for the islands after re-
porting to President Roosevelt and
other administration officials on
conditions in the Pacific.)
Gold Stocks Rise.
The immediate result of Mr.. Nc
Nuts speech was rise in gold stocks
here, and the expression of one busi-
ness man, former Judge Guillermo
Guevara, that be was 100 per cent
behind McNutt's ideas"
Cabinet members were glum and
uncommunicative. They agreed, how
ever. that if the United States Gov
eminent adopted the commissioners
suggestion the American flag would
wave over the islands long after 1916.
Some Assemblymen opposed the idea
of deferring independence.
President Quezon said he thought
Mr.. McNutt's presentation of facts as
they related to Philippine-American
economic relations was unassailable.
He said while in the United States he
made speeches on their relations in
substantially the same terms.
Mr.. McNutt advocated allowing the
Filipinos domestic autonomy.
President Quezon said mo reason
able person - can find fault with
the proposition of the commissioner
that a re-examination Of the whole
question should be undertaken at
once"

Second Penguin Chick Steps
Into World, Pert and Day Early

Malcom's kid brother. or sister,
popped out Of his shell at the Zoo
this morning, quite clipper and at
least day early.
It took Malcolm 40 days to make
the grade, and keepers were timing
the new arrival on the basis Of this
performance.
But the nameless chick seems to
have something Malcolm lacks.
Malcolm, probably the first jackass
penguin ever born in the States, ap-
peared reluctant to emerge into the
wide world. He pecked q peep-hole
in his shell and let matters rest there
for hours while his audience waited
and waited.
The new chick just cracked his
shell and stepped out. There was
nothing dramatic about it-no radio
broadcast. 1lash1shts. camera men.

TAX BILLS GOAL
HELD CONFIDENCE
Harrison Says Group Will
Seek to Draft Plan to
Calm Business.
By the Associated prr-e

by tile Associated Prrre.
Chairman Harrison said today the
Senate Finance Committee was de-
termined to bring out a tax bill which
will get the necessary revenue" and
at the same time raise business con-
fidence.
AS passed by the House, Treasury
experts have estimated the tax reyi-
sion bill will fall $4,000 900 short of
raising the $3.50 O0o. 900 which the
Treasury has contended is necessary.
We want to get the necessary rev.
enue,' Senator Harrison said. That
Is one Of the main features of the tax
situation the committee is consider
ing"
After an executive session of his
committee, Senator Harrison reiter.
ated that his main goal" for the tax
revision bill lis to restore business
confidence"
The more we can restore conf.
dence." he told reporters, "the more
revenue will flow into the Treasury
Senator Harrison said public hear
ings on the tax bill would start Fri
day. with requests from more than SO
witnesses to be heard. Many of these
he asserted, would be asked to make
their testimony brief and submit sup
Elemental statements.
Committee members said they were
hopeful the tax bill could be sent to
the Senate floor some time next week
At the committee session this morn
ing, Arthur H. Kent, Treasury tax
attorney, and Roswell Magill, Treas
ury Undersecretary, outlined capita,
gains tax provisions of the House
approved bill.
Committee members said Mr.. Kent
favored retention Of the sliding scale
of capital gains levies fixed by the
House. Senator Harrison and Other
Senate Finance Committee members
have suggested substitution of a flal
tax rate on capital gains.
Members declared sentiment in the
committee was overwhelmingly fol-
outright repeal of the undistributeo
profits tax retained in principle in the
House bill.
Asked what could be substituted for
the undistributed profits levy if it were
eliminated, Senator Harrison men,
toned a fat corporation tax. He de-
clined. however, to estimate what fiat
tax rate might be needed, asserting
that he did not want to be committed
