reaching the age of 20 were required to register for compulsory military service. Twice a year, cadreS of 2O,- 900 of these young men are called up for six months training. Gen Douglas Macarthur, retired U. s chief of staff, was put in command of this training program at salary of $35, ,OOO year. On a 10-year pro- gram, $80,000,0 ,000 will be spent and by 1946 the Philippines will have 100000 men under 30 years of age, all with six months training in in- fantry, artillery and aviation. Back ing this national army, of course, is the U. 8. regular army and the Philippine constabulary.
 But navy there is none.
 Time was when Corregidor, for treSs and naval base at the entrance to Manila Bay, ranked with Singa- pore and Hong Kong as triangle of offenSe that insured English speaking dominance of the China Sea. All were stations for naval squadrons of strength that could not be challenged, backed by shore defenseS strong enough to stand of any invader. But Hong Kong is now on the defensive and Corregidor has been allowed to deteriorate. All the burden now rests on Singapore.
 Naval defense of the Philippines would be impossible with anything less than a fleet the size of Japan's. All of the scattered islands, with a coast line of over 10000 miles, are vulnerable.
 QUEZON
 KING PIN
 There is, of course, general staff plan for the defense of the islands in case of invasion. And stubborn little brown Filipino fight CTS might make complete subjuga- tion Q long and costly business. But the supply lines, 1900 miles from Singapore or 5000 miles from Hon. olulu, would be hard to keep open.
 It's the defense angle, as well as the economic angle, which makes the Philippine problem the VOd64A 41AU ~ 4os
 Keystone. king pin, No. man, and MT. Big in any solution to the Philippines fate is, of course, President Manuel Quezon. He is the George Washington of his country and perhaps also the Ben- jamin Franklin, the Thomas Jeffer- son and the Abraham Lincoln. From Malacanan palace, the Ma nila White House, he runs the islands.
 He has been accused of being a dictator, despot, unfriendly to the United States, friendly to the Japs, and in addition has had heaped upon his head all the abuse that any leader can receive. He has advanced the idea that democracy can exist in one-party government and as a matter of fact his Naciona- lista Consolidate party has 12 to superiority over all opposition.
 His stand on this point has been generally misunderstood, and as evil dence, Quezon points to the fact that he himself has given support to the Re-examination Movement, wanting to have brought out in the national assembly and before the people every argument that can be made against Philippine indepen- dence.
 Whatever his faults, Quezon knows his Filipinos. No American high commissioner can succeed in Manila without Quezon's backing and support. And when the new status of the islands is determined, it will probably have to dovetail- with the Quezon pattern, which fully recognizes that in this day. and age, no small nation can ex- ist while the wolves of Germany or Japan howl at the doorstep.

 Manila, Philippine Islands, Oct. 4.-There are innumerable draw backs to most of the solutions so far proposed for settling the Philip pine problem.
 The Philippines can never become state within the Union. As state with 16,O00000 population-between a sixth and a seventh the popula- ton of the United States-the Fili- pinos would have representation in Congress which might be a bal ance of power and throw control over all domestic issues into the hands of a Philippine bloc. That's out.
