I observed his sxty-third birthday recently with
significant exchange of compliments with Henry A.
Wallace wee president OF the tnItrd States
Mr.. Quezon speaking from Manila. sand ms people
were with the United States IN life and death
Mr. Wallace responding from Washington, said the
peoples of the American mainland and the remote Pacho
islands have "thc ideals, the same aspirations
This is international exchange on a high moral and
sentimental plane and is significant because 1t is earnest
and real.
The American and Filipino people do indeed have
much in common sentimentaly and morally, and also
realistically and practically.
They have always had and fundamental
interests although not always warmly and frankly
acknowledged.
TT encouraging and gratifying have the eminent
/ statesmen Of the countries speaking IN friendly
ven and have the vital bonds of friendship and under
standing and respect between the two peoples recognized
and strengthened
1t is high time the relations between the United
States and the Philippines being sensby established
and it is to be hoped it is in GOOD time.
Realism, far the Philippines are concerned
recognition of the fact that physical as well as
sentimental links United States embody their sole
hopes and chances of future peace, prosperity and
safety.
And of course realism, from the American stand
point the permanent retention of those important
and necessary links, and not their severance
American realism too, must encompass something
OF the purpose that underHeS the current WISH ol MI
Henry L. Grady special representative of the federal loan
agency in the Philippines.
Mr. Grady is in the Philippines for the purpose of
developing the vast products and materials OF the
islands, and keeping them moving to the United States.
AS Mr.. Grady knows, and the American govern
mept and the American people have long known the
Philippine Islands comprise of the worlds richest
storehouses of almost inexhaustibe material wealth.
THE islands have fabulous quantities of essential
i commodities including chrome manganese and
other minerals, high-grade abaca raw hemp and
such a list of other useful products-some OF them
EXCLUSIVE to the islands-that enumeration would be
tedious.
The trade and industrial potentaltes of the Philip

And the United States-for purely selfish if for no
other its interests and possessions
in the Philippines.
1t is certainly not American selhshness which the
Philippines have to fear but the supposed American
deasm which threatens abandon the islands to alien
conquest and despoiment.
Seldom has territorial occupation and acquisition

IN TWENTY-FOUR hours Of

IN TWENTY-FOUR hours of
= quiet and solitude in Lisbon
l have reviewed my mind in
search of the answer to a lead
ing question: What is IT that
is so peculiarly impressive about
Britain at war that it has made
the crowded experience a con-
tlnual intellectual excitement [?
What revealing clue runs
through the epic story. as IT
unfoldS from many angles and
through many groups and char
acters? What is il that | have
found?
The answer. I think, is this:
This war il not destroying
British civilization. II Is recre-
ating il. 1t is SCATTERING build
ingS. but il is also testing in
fiery furnace social habits and
political and economic inStitu-
tions and modifying them at
breath-taking pace. Despite the
rubblc. the Britain of August,
1871, is infinitely more civilized
than the Britain of September,
1899.
This unique war that invadeS
every phase of life. is the great
est purge in human history, and
with all It's destruction and
misery. it is blasting windows
into minds as well as glass into
the streets. 1t is causing things
TO be done that the intelligence
of the few long ago recon-
mendcd. but that never would
have been done had not mag
nation and intelligence become
welded by a shotgun marriage

survival.
TO TAKE a few examples:

breaking up cities, dcconcentrat-
ing populations. II is joining the
education of children with their
care and feeding. II Is forcing
radical and universal reconsider
alton of dietary habits. II IS
compelling the elimination of
that waste in materials and en-
crgy that comes from the cook
ing of 100000 meals three
times a day in 100000 sepa-
rate homes.
II Is destroying the social
parasite. who lives 10y lcNlcS on,
and interventionS in the pro-
ductivc system. and is absorbing
him a. person into genuine
creative on conserving activity.
1t is welcoming frcSher and
Younger blood from all classes
into the offices, of the state. II
is SCATTERING a financial system
that keeps production bound and
gagged. Ii il cultivating the
human body II is releasing the
hitherto hardly tapped energies
and emotions of women into
grandioSe social organization
and service.
II is making the scientist into
n priest and The priest into a
minister. II Is retaining agrl-
culture II Is rcvivifying and
democratiZng the interest in
books. music and culture. II Is
enforcing more solitude "a well
as more social cooperation.

Such promises are kindly. but
worthless for an important city

look wisely to elect nine council
