years the Japanese have built up a substantial colony in Davao, south- ern Mindanao, where they raise everything that rich countryside permits, in a soil so fertile and a climate so hot that it will grow three crops of corn in a little over a year.
 These Japanese make good citi- zens. They work like bees, they know how to get along with Fili- pinoS, they are law-abiding and they obey their consul Japanese goodwill missions pour into the islands at all times official oyer- seerS, trade and tourist bodies, dele gationS Of beSpectacled students on vacation to observe conditions. All of them are, apparently, building up pro- Japanese sentiment and looking to the day when they can walk in and help themselves.
 There is loose talk among some Americans long resident in the islands, to the effect that the Fili- pino really likes the Jap better than the white man. But to offset that there is good substantial talk from leading FilipinoS that they don't want to be cut loose from the United States, in 1946 or any time there after. This talk has crystallized into a movement with a name, the Re-examination Movement.
 Get a number of the leaders of this Re-examination Movement to- gether and you will hear surprising things. There leaders are, they more or less openly admit, the Tories of the Philippines. They in- clude few men in high govern ment positions. There are business men, planters, bankers, mine oper- ators, professors, newspapermen and a few Americans. These are the men who, realizing that 70 per cent of the Philippine trade of about $25O,- 000,00 is with the United States, just don't want to see it kicked out the window for the Japanese to pick up.
 POLITICAL
 FOOTBALL
 They further maintain that the Independence act was passed too soon, that the Filipinos don't really understand its consequences, and that the status quo of U. S.-Philip- pine relations should be maintained for some years to come. Leaders of this movement have in recent months openly made speeches on the floor of the National assembly to further this point of view. A few years ago it would have been po- itical suicide to espouse openly this cause.
 | The most confusing point about the entire situation is that the In- dependence issue has been kicked around like political football by the Filipino nationalist leaders and ike an economic football by Ameri- can business men and politicians so short-sighted as to be almost blind. The result is a Grade A mess whicl
