Philippine Exports

In pointing out in the House that
the objectives of our embargo on the
export of strategic raw materials are
being defeated because the axis
powers have obtained some of these
commodities from the Philippines,
Representative Stefan has sounded a
timely warning. In addition to
large shipments Of copra and COCO
nut oil to Russia, the Philippines
have exported to Japan, in recent
months, substantial Quantities OF
manganese, iron ore, and Manila
hemp, which is used in the manu-
facture of rope for the Navy. That
Germany has received part of these
shipments can hardly be doubted.
If the embargo of the United
States Government is to be fully ef-
fective, it is essential, therefore, that
the flow of war materials to Ger
many from the Philippines be
checked. Mr.. ]. NJ Elizalde, resident
commissioner of the Philippines, has
stated that his government desires
to "co-operate with the United
States in any form of export control
that may be deemed effective in safe
guarding the interests of national
defense" In his opinion, this Gov
ernment has the authority, under
existing law, to place shipments from
the islands under export control.
Representative Stefan takes diff
ferent view. In passing export con-
troll legislation Congress excluded
the islands from the operations OF
the law. Inasmuch as the Tydings-
McDuffle Act conferred local self
rule on the Filipino people, Mr..
Stefan seems to be on solid ground in
declaring that extension of export
control to the Philippines should
properly await legislative action by
the government of the common
wealth. In support of this view, he

EASTER DAWNS
By the Rt. Rev James E. Freeman D. D., ILL., D., D. c. L.,
Bishop of Washington.

Every new day Is a rebirth, fresh
beginning. From the fatigue of labor
we go to our rest, from the refreshment
of sleep we go forth again to labor. Thus
life is broken into fragments and thus
we measure the flight of time. Men have
found in the divisions of time the SYM
bols of death and of life. Sleep, that
"knits up the raveled sleeve of care"
is the death of each days life" The
awakening of the morning is the symbol
of the recreated life. 1t is with leach
morn we are born anew"
So with the recurring seasons, man
has found that which speaks of the
changing phases of life, its springtime
renewal, its summer that breathes con-
tentment and relaxed energies, its golden
autumn that calls for reflection and
meditation, its winter that suggests the
shortened days and twilights that re-
mind him of the lengthening years and
the swift passage of time itself.
Lifes moods are largely governed by
the changing seasons. That Easter comes
as a spring festival has a deep signif-
lCd1lCe. IL Is OF all IQe seasons tne
period of rejuvenation. Natures swift
changes under warming suns and gentle
rains bring back to life and beauty shrub
and grass and flower and leafy tree. 1t
seems as if some magicians wand had
touched that which seemed dead and
cold and with irresistible power had
called it back to life. The resurrection
story IS associated with a garden, and
its mighty teachings broke upon sleep
ing world with a new days morning.
Even the early visitors that came to the
tomb of the crucified Christ thought, as
with bewildered eyes they beheld Him,
that He was the gardener And so He
was! He was the new gardener who was
to bring to men the noblest vision of re-
newed life the world had ever known.
All the glow of finer and larger life
came with the dawn of that first Easter
morning and 1t came with the spring
and the renewal of the things of nature.
From the dark shadows of a fateful

cites an opinion of Vicente Villamin,
an eminent Filipino lawyer and
economist, who states that under the
Tydings- s-McDuffie Act, the Philip
pine government, not that of the
United States, must take the initia-
tive in "enacting legislation such as
the export control law" This legis-
lation would become effective on ap-
proval by the President of the
United States.
In view of the Importance of COM
Elementary action by the Philippines,
it is to be hoped that the CON-
monwealth government, on its own
initiative, will enact export control
legislation without delay. AS Repre-
sentative Stefan pointed out, such
action is within the power of the
Philippine government, and would
clearly be in line with the desire of
the Philippine people to cooperate
with the measures taken by the
United States to safeguard national
defense in the present emergency.

An Emergency Need

Reports that the Federal Govern
ment is planning to requiSition office
space from the District to accom-
modate pressing national defense
needs will come as a disappointment
to the local community, but at the
same time there will be general
recognition of the fact that every
effort must be made to satisfy Fed
eral emergency requirements.
From present indications, it seems
probable that either the east build
ing of the new Municipal Center or
the new National Guard Armory drill
hall may be taken over temporarily
because of the War Departments
urgent and immediate need for Office
space. Should that prove to be the
case, and if an election is possible,
it is to be hoped that the drill hall
rather than the Municipal Center
will be chosen.
In the first place, the Municipal
Center building is not scheduled to
be completed until June l, while it
is believed the drill hall could be
made ready for Federal occupancy
within two weeks. The latter is more
than adequate to meet the War De-
partment's reported need for 10000
square feet Of space. Another i'm
portant consideration concerns the
fact that the east building has been
specially designed in part and con-
tains specialized equipment to &C
commodate such local units as the
Department of Vehicles and Traffic.
This specialized equipment would
have to be torn out if the building
we're turned over to the War Depart
ment, but no such difficulty exists in
the case of the drill hall.
The people of the District, if called
upon to give up either building tenn
porarily in the interests of national
defense, will do so without COM
plant, and that is an additional
reason why the Federal authorities,
in making a selection, should do so
with view to satisfying their own
requirements while working the
least possible injury to the neces-
sarily subordinated needs of the city.

Trouble in Iroq

The recent political upset in Iraq
typifies the disturbed conditions
which today prevail in the Near East.
Better known by its historic name,
Mesopotamia, Iraq was set up as a
mandate of the League of Nations
after the collapse Of the Turkish
Empire in the Great War The
mandatory power was Great Britain,
and it's effective status was that of a
protectorate of the British Empire,
though with a native ruler in the
person of Emir Feisal, son of the
Shereef of Mecca.
Iraq's international Importance is
due mainly to the rich oil fields in
its northern province Of Mosul. This
oil is piped westward across inter-
vening desert to the Mediterranean,
the output being shared between the
British in Palestine and the French
in Syria. An uninterrupted flow of
this precious stream of oil is vital to
British naval and mechanical land
power in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Though numbering less than 3,000,-
900, the Arab population of 1raq Is
turbulent and unstable. Outside the
towns and narrow bands of culti-
waited land along the banks of the
great rivers Tigris and Euphrates, the
inhabitants are largely nomadic
tribes, wandering with their focks
and herds according to the seasons.
The British mandate was never pop
ular, and chronic troubles led the
British to relax their control. In
1927 Feisal was acknowledged king,
and the mandate was terminated in
1882, when Iraq was admitted to
membership in the League as an in
dependent state.
Despite technical independence,
Britain retained considerable
measure of yelled control. How
ever, the arrangement worked well,
because King Feisal was friendly to
Britain. Unfortunately, Feisal was
killed in motor accident in the
spring of 1889. In the Near East a
change of monarch is always a seri-
Gus matter. This was especially true
in Iraq, because Feisals son and heir
was only four years old. Obviously,
there had to be a regent. And that,
in turn, opened up bitter controver-
sizes between the leading notables. In
Arab lands there are always a few
great families who intrigue and
fight one another with all the venom
of Montagues and .Capulets. When
one faction controls the government
the other automatically goes into
opposition and seldom scruples to
accept outside aid.
German and Italian agents have
been busy in Iraq and certainly
played a part in the palace revolu-
ton staged last week in Baghdad,
when the pro-British regent, Abdul
Illah, was ousted by rival notable
named Rashid Ali Beg Gallant, who
seized power with the backing of the
native army. The new regime nat
urally leans toward the axis, but
there is little theological preference
on either side. The situation should

search of surface raiders and subma-
rines.
East of Iceland, which is occupied by
Canadian forces, the British sea and air
patrols could take over. There would
remain about 900 miles of ocean to pa
troll. This would be the most dangerous
part of the Atlantic, but the task of
policing it would be simplified by the
ability of the British to concentrate their
patrol craft in that area.
Of course, there would be the danger
that Hitler's raiders might challenge
the American Navy. Hitler already has
formally extended his blockade area to
within 3 miles of Greenland-which
means he will operate in waters even
now guarded by American vessels. This
really amounts to Q challenge to the
United States.
