FIRST Philippine EXPERIMENT In
farm C0-0PERATIvES LAUNCHED

Thousands OF families hold leases
on tiny plots Of land, or work the land
for lessees, on a contract basis which
frequently varies from case to case
and from year to year-but always
with the tenant or laborer coming out
at the small end
The vicious cycle of the share-crop-
ping system Is all too familiar: hard
work and a meager return in the bare
necessities of life; debts accommodating
and passing on to succeeding genera
tions; no opportunity for improving
ones lot; no incentive to do better
work, since 1t brings added profit only
| to the landlord; and the constant
haunting fear that the landlord may
| turn the tenant out on the slightest
proyocation, for there is always some
one to take his place.
What Quezon explained to the long
suffering Buenayista tenants that day
was the governments plan to lease
the entire estate from the Manila In
stitution which owned 1t, and then to
form a cooperative association among
the present tenants Through the CO.
operative they might buy necessities
anu BOIL lucH "a OodCCt ODtdii iOdhoJ
operate their own warehouses and rice
mills, and improve their farming
methods.
Tenants were to pay rent of not
more than one-fourth of their crop
in most cases heretofore rent has
amounted to half the crop. In addi-
ton, they were to contribute a smaller
percentage of their crop annually into
a sinking fund to pay for the estate
This plan envisaged the tenants as
being able within 25 years to buy
their own land, without paying out
annually anything like their present
rental.
The most interesting thing about
the presentation of this plan was that
it afforded the tenants an opportunity
to ask questions. to voice objections,
and to offer alternative plans-an OPP
portunity which was eagerly seized by
many speakers scattered throughout
the huge crowd. BY their frank state
ments. 1t was obvious that they would
have preferred a ready-made and i'm
mediate solution to their problem, but
the president explained patiently and
simply why the scheme had to be
worked out In the way outlined.
Succeeding months saw some diff
culties In putting the plan into opera
ton The Ignorance Of the peasants,
and their sorry experiences in the
past, made many of them suspicious
and reluctant to agree to the new
scheme. The cooperative association
was finally formed, however, budget
was adopted In June. and work along
the new lines has begun.
Co-operatives have been so success
full In western countries that great
hope attaches to this new experiment
in the Philippines. This may be one
of the great dangers against which
the managers must guard: that too
much will be expected and slow
healthful gains will be ignored by
those who have suffered through so
many yesterdays that they will be
satisfied with nothing less than the
tomorrow.
1t is tremendously important to the
whole government program for further
projects of this kind that the Buena-
vista Cooperative Assn. show steady
1t is equally important that
spectacular results not be expected by
those working on the project or by
those who are watching it's develop

plan like that And just think what
fine type Of Americans we could
turn out like that. Never any thought

It's blessing that we have a big
man in the governors chair; a man
who sees right through problem
and has the solution.
Here, last week. after the meeting
of the Board of Education the gov
ernor took time away from all his
other obligations and told in simple
language some of the things that are
needed at the university to stop the
squabbling. He told off some of those
professors who are always kicking;
told them that when they thought
there was something wrong and
wanted to say something about 1t they
should quit their jobs first. See how
simple that makes everything? When
they quit they get in the same posi-
ton as the rest of us dumbbells. They
can't know what's going on, and their
kicks won't have any more effect than
IL I kick, since | can't know every
thing that's going on. 1t might be

the young fellows and girls what's In

for, isn't 1t? Not to be criticizing his
superiors or trying to influence the
thought of the students. You bet, the
governors opinion can't be argued.
And he states clearly too that they
shall recognize the authority of the
president in its entirety" Who's boss,
anyhow?

that 1t didn't have anything to do with

that the lawyers who belong to this

the need of Americanizing the people

some cracks about the necessity of
protecting civil rights, and of course
we all know where that kind of talk
