CONGRESS CARES FOR CONGRESS

Is it a good idea to pension con-
eressmen? With affecting unonimity,
congressman have oereed thot it is.
Frankly, we don't know. The whole
thing hos been sprung SO suddenly,
without public discussion or generally
reported hearings, that almost nobody
had thought Of it until the bill lay on
the Presidents desk for signature.
The idea may have merit. But it
comes wrapped up in q bill providing
changes in the existing retirement pro-
visions for federal employees, which is
something else again. At time when
eveybody's future is obscure, this sud-
den concern Of congressman for their
own pulls q blanket over whatever merit
the idea may have in itself
Few would rebuke President Roose-
Welt if she should send the bill back with
his veto. Thot would at least require
enough consideration for the country
to learn what's going on.

force out the king of spades in

The war does not seem to have
put a damper on the interest
in tournament bridge. On the
contrary, interest appears to be
stronger than ever. Committees
are planning contests to be given
for the benefit of the Red Cross
and other war activities.
One feature of tournament
bridge that makes it doubly in
teresting is that you never need
wonder whether or not you
made the right play on a hand.
You can always compare your
results on a hand with the re-
suits obtained by the other play
ers in the same tournament.

In Africo, Nozi General RommeI

the British have the territory firmly in

may prove to be the most important
Allied success so far. Many an expert

HiehIiehts from
the Latest Books

Just under the war wire Is
Joseph Ralston Hayden's The
Philippines" macmillan: $9), q
man-sized study in one volume
of the national development OF
our Pacific possession which SO
far has been the scene OF our
largest troop operations.
In q footnote added just before
publication, the author admits
1.-The effects of this conflict upon
the development of the Philip
pines as 4 nation cannot be
foreseen. Whatever they may
be, the character and institu-
tons of the Filipino people will
continue to be shaped in large
measure by the political forces
and experiences which are de-
scribed in this volume"
Hayden speaks with authori-
ty. At two different times he
taught political science in the
University of the Philippines,
during 1933-1935 he was vice.
governor of the islands and Sc
cretary of public instruction. For
six months he served as acting
governor.
Whether the Philippines get
the independence in 1946 prom
ised them by Congress depends
now, of course, on the outcome
of the war, but for those inter-
ested in the historical, political
and economic backdrop Of the
islands-and it fits into the pres
ent struggle-this book will be
Of great value.
Interesting Is the authors
statement that 'it Is not as mer-
chants but rs fishermen that the
Japanese residents Of the Philip
pines have come into the most
direct contact with the living
economy of the native popula-
ton. They attained this position
through possessing something
close to q monopoly of deep-sea
fishing and the use Of modern
offshore fishing methods in
Philippine waters" One ex-
planaion, possibly, of why their
troop-landing operations were so
successful.
Hayden gives Supreme Court
Justice Frank Murphy much
credit for improvement of the
islands civil service system
when Murphy was governor,
and also praises him "for i'm
proving the lot of the common
man in the Philippines" II
was Murphy's policy, the author
states, ito avoid harassing in
termeddling and as q matter of
good faith to give full recogni-
ton to the rights Of the Philip
pine people" As for the admin
istration Of Paul v. McNutt.
Hayden credits the present fed
eral security administrators with
vigorously indicating certain
American rights which had been
called into question" in the L.
lands.

ECONOMIC HIGHLlGHTS

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTs
A foreign correspondent, writing in
Life. tells of discussion he had with q
hioh-ronkino British officer in Sin9o-
pore. From personal observation in the
field. the officer declared, he was con-
WINGED that one British soldier was O
notch for ten japanese. Unfortunate
". he added, there we're eleven JoPo-
nese.
This little onecdote accurately de-
scribes the Allied position in the For
Eost So far as the quality Of our troops
is concerned, we have every right to be
proud. General MocArthur's American
Filipino forces have performed miracles
in fighting q delaying action, which
has been immensely costly to the en-
envy, in the face Of overwhelming odds
Of both men and equipment. The ex-
PLOTS of less than 400 marines with q
handful Of planes and guns at Wake in
fighting hopeless bottle during which
they destroyed seven japanese ships
of-wor, greet numbers Of orcroft and
took terrific toll Of the eneny's men,
has oIreody become an epic. But flesh
and blood can do only so much, no mat
ter how strong the spirit within, and in
the end, the weight Of mon-power and
nochine-power must win the victory.
In the Far Eost, we are simply inferior
in force, and that is the whole story Of
the defects we and the British have
suffered.
Whot we are striving for, as re-
suit, is time. Time to produce adequate
instruments of Wartime to send them
to the bottIefronts-time to create and
perfect an oII-embrosive plan for COM
bot. To send inadequate reinforce
ments to luzon or anywhere else would
be futile-it would mean q possibly
ruinous dissipation and waste of our
efforts and our resources. Many people
may have thought that MocArthur's
stond was useIess-thot fine soldiers
were dying in q bottle which could not
be won. But, whether or not the enemy
finally takes all Of the Philippines. the
foot thot the japanese are paying q
high price for every inch Of ground they
gain, and thot MocArthur's stand
makes Manila and it's bay Of no use to
japan SO long as the defenders are oble
to fight on, is in itself military
achievement that will pIoy an impor-
tont port in the eventual winning of
the war.
On some fighting fronts the tide
runs in fovor Of the United Nations. 1t
Is clear to all thot the Germans ore not

lowed the Russion troops tell Of seeing
