COMMENTS
ON COEVAL LIFE
By VictOriO A. VelaScO


We still are what we were be-
hind the curtain of centuries. A
million suns have risen and set in
the horizons of life, and the drama
like the ripples on the surface of
stagnant water The cock in the
barn still crows at the first glimmer
of dawn to awaken us from sleep.
Two-legged mortals still saunter
forth from their abodes, the point
of their spear glistening in the sun
light, eloquent of their greed and
cowardice, or sense of protection
and security.
The form and substance may have
changed, but the spirit has persist
ed to remain. Life is eternal in its
tragic comedy, and we are but to-
days samples of what we were in
the early hours of the centuries
Push aside the curtains that shut
from view antics buried in the dust
of the ages; we are those antics re-
splendent under the veneer of to-
days sophistication. Beneath these
artificialities, beneath these dan
Cling connections of human idiosyn-
cracies, the stream of human vanity
and conceit still flows, the spark of
human arrogance still flickers.
This is tragedy; therefore, it is
eternal. The fading rose whose pet
ais are falling off to kiss the dust
vainly courts the last shimmering
sunlight to die in the memory of
it's last embrace. How that fading
rose would look with jealous dis
dain upon the closed buds hiding
beneath her fading glory!

President Roosevelt, President Que
zon decided to come to the United
States and carry on the Govern
ment of the Commonwealth in
Washington, where he and his par
ty, including members Of his War
Cabinet, arrived on May 13, 1912.
On June IA, 1912, President Que
zon signed the Declaration by Unit
ed Nations on behalf of the Philip
pines, and few weeks later he
became a member of the Pacific
War Council These official acts
have meant in effect the recogni-
ton of the Philippines, in the words
of President Quezon, "as possessed
of the attributes of full nationhood.
The only thing lacking is the for
NAL establishment of the Philippine
Republic" which will take place i'm
mediately after the japanese are
driven out of the Philippines.

OUEZON STICKS TO LIBERTY
OF DEATH" AS HIS WATCHWORD

philosophy has inspired me to lead
my people to fight to the bitter
end by the side of the United States
against Japan. I knew from the
beginning that the Philippines
could not defend itself, and that,
because of Pearl Harbor, America
could not come to our rescue in
time to save thousands of our men
from death, and many Of our towns
and cities from desolation. After
seeing the easy victories of Japan
IL Singapore, in Malaga, in the
Netherlands East Indies, and her
more difficult victory in Bataan and
GOrreGidor. my faith in our eventual
victory Was rudely shaken. Yet l
continued to urge my people to
fight on and to accept no defeat.
Japan's Defeat Certain
"Of course, now know that
Japan's defeat is certain. But l
would care little about Japan's de-
feat if my own Philippines were
not going to be free.
From my Sickbed, l am urging
my people constantly to go on fight
ing-and they are doing it-because
they and l expect that our coun-
try will be independent now, re-
gardless of any future international
agreements to provide for collec-
tive security.
LET no one have the impression
that | am not deeply concerned
about the future security of the
Philippines. The Tydings-Be joint
resolution takes into consideration
this question, as we'll as all other
postwar economic, social and po-
litical problems which will confront
the Philippines-and which will
confront the United States also, by
virtue of her relations with the
Philippines. I refer you to Sections
3, and 5 of the joint resolution.
But the all-important point is that
we fought and are still fighting for
right and liberty, regardless of con-
sequences. Right and liberty are
more precious than life.

ply seems to justify national pol
icy of siding with the most power

President Manuel L. QuezOn of
the Philippir es, in a reply to re-
cent column II Walter Lippmann in
the New York Herald Tribune,
questioning the wisdom of grant
ing Philippine independence, de-
clared: 81 would care little about
Japan's defeat if my own Philip
pines were not going : he free"
The Lippmann column vas con-
mentary on the Tydings s4lution
recently introduced in Cong- IS to
grant immediate Independent to
the Philippines Said Lippn.a.
For what earthly good is indepen
dence to the Philippines if the
United States is incapable of defend
ing them? If it were our inten-
ton to leave the Far East, we need
not have had a war with Japan in
1941."
President Quezon said that MIR.
Lippmann's political philosophy
seems to justify a national policy
of siding with the most powerful
nation" This theory he added,
IF followed to its logical cOnclu-
sion, would make of every Quisling
a statesman"
President Quezon's reply, in full,
follows:
Il was amazed to read in Wal
ter Lippmann's column in yeSter-
days edition of your paper, that he
takes the position, inferentia11y at
least, that unless a reliable regime
of security in the Pacific can be
secured, there will be no earthly
good in granting the Philippines
independence.
Let me say at once that I am
intellectually in favor of collec-
tive security. 1 believe that, unless
the United Nations provide the
world with the means of inSuring
peace for at least two or three
generations, if not for all time, the
unconditional surrender of the Axis
will only mean temporary sus-
pension of hostilities.

Guards and got that chance is
eXcitingly told by Lloyd Wendt
for his one-time schoolmate, Lieut..
Berry, in "Gunners Get Glory"
(Bobbs- Merrill: $275).
Berry put TO sea during the early
and grim days of the Battle of the
Atlantic, eager for the first shot
from that five-inch deck gun,
aimed at a surfacing U-bpat and
not just a practice target. In the
space of "a hours two ships were
shot from beneath him and his
men, incidents in which bravery
and humor manage to outweigh
the horror of the sinkings.
There was the long trip across
the Pacific to an unnamed Amer
lean base, where a precious cargo
of PIT boats was safely delivered
after lodging Jap subs; the return
trip through the Canal and up the
Atlantic coast, which ended in an
anti-climatic collision; and high
lighting the whole dramatic chron-
icle is Lieut.. Berry's experiences
in landing troops under fire on the
shores of Sicily.
Book brings deserved recogni-
ton to the Armed Guards whose
courage patience, and Yankee
craftsmanship make possible in
such great measure the successful
delivery of vital supplies to our war
fronts.

STATE

Capacity attendance at Warner's
State theater Yesterday marked the
opening performances of the return
engagement of THE Oklahoma Kid
co-starring James Cagney and Hum
phrey Bogart.
Thrills galore were afforded yes
terday's audiences as Cagney ard
Bogart turned in performances that
were applauded by State patrons.
The picture will continue showing
at the State through performances
Thursday SO be sure to see it.
The additional popularity that
accrued to Jimmy Cagney following
his appearance in yankee Doodle
Dandy" and the zoom to stellar
heights that followed Bogart's roles
in "Casablanca' and Action in
the North Atlantic prompted
Warmers to REISSUE this screen
offering which co-stars both.
Cagney in the title role, is cast as
an outlaw in the Robin Hood tradi-
ton, an adventurous youth who has
become known throughout the
southwest for his exploits of der
ring-do. Eventually he is enlisted on
the side of law and order, although
he has really taken the law into his
own hands in his feat of wiping out
a gang of vicious gunner. How
ever, he performs this service of
public vengeance so bravely that
he is forgiven all his past misdeeds.
Bogart, ace bad men of the
screen, furthers his screen reputa-
ton by playing the leader of a band
of treacherous gamblers and gun
men. In the story he is deadly
foe of the Oklahoma Kid and
eventually fights it out to the death
which provides one of the most
thrilling sequences ever to come to
the screen.
Donald Crisp, Rosemary Lane,
Harvey Stephens Hugh Sothern
and Charles Middleton complete the
supporting cast.
An all new second hit "Crime
Doctor" bases on the suspense pack
ed radio serial is the second hit of
