COMMONWEALTH
POSITION CLARIFIED

Editor. The Times: The Wash
ington Commonwealth Fedora
ton thanks The Times for the
courteous treatment given our
recent answer to questions previ-
ously raised.
We are sure that you recog-
nize. as we do. that the ques-
ton is not why the Soviet
Union does not give the United
States more help than it is al
ready giving by its inspiring
counter offensive the whole
length Of the Eastern front
against the common enemy. The
question now. clearly, - what
all Of US. pulhng together a.
never before. viii do TO see our
country through to victory.
It 10 not the British. not the
Chinese. not the Russians who
will save American institutions,
but we. ourselves. acting in full
understanding and in full con-
cert with those nations and with
the patriots of France, Norway.
Poland. Jugoslavia and other
subjugated n ions, including
even the people Of Germany,
Italy and Japan.
That is why the WCF is help
ing to achieve an all-time high in
the production Of needed goods
and weapons. That is why We
are urging our supporters and
all others TO take part in civilian
defense, To buy defense bonds,
TO volunteer for our country's
armed service. And that IL
why We are urging that our gov
eminent conclude fun military
alliance with Britain, Russia and
China
We believe that the productive
energies and military power Of
all the nations resisting Hitler
ISM should be concentrated
wherever the Axis Is most vul-
nerable BY all means let US
keep the supply Of materials go
ing to Britain and Russia. BY
al means let our government
help Britain and Russia open up
q western front against Hitler
and get the help OF Britain. Rus
sis and China TO smash HitlerE
Japanese partner.
The fight "a one fight, not
several II can only BE- won oy
putting everything We have into
the common struggle a. the
points where the most decisive
blows can De struck
We want you 10 know that
We Welcoms the opportunity 10
make our position clear 70 every

For Children-and Adults as Well

II is hard to how anything is much important
about the than to bring the children through in
normal and healthy condition possible The Office of
Civilian Defense has issued statement warning parents
not talk much about the in the presence of chill
dren Give them tasks worthwhile things do by knit
ting for the Red Cross collecting scrap metal and home
duties Keep them busy. the OCD advises, at real tasks
that they feel important
II sounds like good advice for taking of children
during war; it's better than that The parents them
selves can take little of the advice:
Keep busy worthwhile tasks, and don't listen 10
too much talk.

LABOR AND CAPITAL
CONFLICT "OLD STUFF"

The conflict between labor and
capital members of the presi-
dents war conference was an
ticipated before the groups sat
down. In inside circles every
one expects that the president
will have to invoke his war pow
ers and make both groups be-
have in the future. Already he
has set up q peace plan that
bars strikes and lockouts.
John L. Lewis and William
Green want To use the war emer-
gency as a means for obtaining
a closed shop Despite their per
sonsl and political feuds. they
are united on that stratagem.
They demand that the labor
capital agency named by y. d.
v. gives them this advantage
which they hope to perpstuats.
But IN. employer representa-
wv WI Wv bVrth wv QhAA"
different. They still stubbornly
reitersts their stand against a
closed shop.
The bosses believe that con-
gress and the American people
are ready TO crack down on
labor and they want to take ad-
vantage of that mood. Until
the president promulgated his
three-point formula designed to
guarantee uninterrupted war
production the representatives
of industry were holding out
against any agreement because
they believed that II no anti
strike promise resulted from the
conversations the congress would
pass a drastic. anti-labor law.

year no found the ocesn which
he called Pacific" because Of
- cslmness. Six months later
No found the islands We now
know a. the Philippines. He
landed on the island Of Samar,
and compelled the king To swear
allegiance tn Spain.
Magellan never received the
reward that the Spanish king
would have given him. The ma
tives, surprisingly intelligent.
didn't like being sold down the
river by their ruler. They re-
sisted, and Magellan was killed
IN fight with the natives.
Though the Spsniards claimed
the Islands. they did not occupy
the capital Manila. until 1870.
Spain controlled the islands
from then until the Treaty of
Paris put the Philippines into
hands Of the United States In
1898.
With the exception of the
comparative few who have taken
the trouble tn inform them
selves. Americans look upon
Manila as 2 place that has be-
come worthy Of note only since
the United States took over.
That is a great mistake, for
several reasons.
In education the Philippines
were many years ahead of the
American colonies. The first in
stitution of higher education in
the islands was the University
of Manila established in 1888
by King Philip. of Spain.
Branches or affiliated schools
were founded at other points on
the islands.
In 1901 a seminary was estab-
lished for the sons of Spanish
nobility. Ten years later schools
were added for the sons of those
not belonging TO the Spanish
nobility and for natives. The
school was reorganized in 1887
and the curriculum expanded.
Some time during the first
decade of the seventeenth CEN
tury another school, the Univer-
sity Of Ssnto Tomas. was estab-
hshed at Manila. II had a little
broader scope than the Univer-
sity Of Manila 1t was the first
institution of its kind in the
Far East and twenty-five years
ahead of the first university in
America.
The american Occupation
found an exceedingly broad and
efficient educational system in
the islands, compared to what
had been expected. Making the
schools better was one of the
easiest of the many jobs under
taken in the Philippines under
the program of benevolent as
sanitation initiated by William
II. Taft. first governor-general
after the United States began
10 exercise control under the
terms of the treaty of Paris.
Though they did a lot of bolo
throwing and behaved like any,
thing but the little brown
brothers of America. as Gov.
Taft referred to them. the
Filipinos were quick to learn.
English is now spoken in every
corner of the islands
