shock to realize that the battle of North Africa could not

POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROTHWELL BROWN

Heads Of many governments
have appeared before both
Senate and House, and before
JOINT sessions. Recently there
have been many such incidents.
Like the president, they simply
delivered addresses, as will be
done by Mr.. Hull, and there
have been no questions asked.
So far as can be recalled by
parliamentary authorities, of
whom the highest, now in Con-
gress, is Rep. Clarence Cannon
Of Missouri, until now no men,
Der of the cabinet had adj
dressed a session of either
Senate or House, or both in
joint session.
PUT the idea is by no means
~ novel. II will be recalled
that after the close of the last
world war. Gen. John j. Perish
ing appeared before and adj
dressed a joint session of the
two houses, and he is certainly
comparable 10 an officer of the
cabinet.
What Rep. Kefauver wants is
an opportunity for the members
Of the Congress, in formal seS-
sion, 10 summon heads of de-
partments of the government.
and TO QUESTION THEM.
This he proposes might be done
either in open session or secret
session.
If the former, il is likely that
very little information of inn
portance, not already divulged,
would be given.
If the latter, it would open the
way 10 the pernicious system Of
secret covenants secretly ar
rived at.

promised that by American lib
crafty the islands will be
economically restored. The dam
age done by Japanese, and it
has been prodigious, will be re-
placed.
A new era of prosperity will
begin. 1t will be the Quezon
era.
FURTHERMORE the Presi-
l. dent has assured Mr.. Quezon
that the American navy and
army will remain in the islands
as a protective force. The PreSi-
dent has asked Congress for au-
thority, first to proclaim imme-
date and complete independ-
ence. and then negotiate" with
the government of the Philip
pine state for the necessary
bases, naval, military and air, to
securely protect the islands, and
the government of Mr.. Quezon,
for an indefinite period.
Legally, the public lands and
waters appropriate for such
bases, belong TO the United
States, but the President would
have us first transfer them to
Philippine state and then have
our government negotiate them
back or possibly repurchase
them, for the protection of the
Filipinos.
Does all this make sense?
To myself, it looks like ideal
ism, good nature, generosity at
the national expense. run wild.
1t is impulsive sympathy gone
foolish.
TTNQUESTIONABLY a very
~ great task must be UNDER
taken in the Philippine Islands
when our reconquest of it oc-
ours. In my own opinion IL
cannot be accomplished in the
manner envisioned by President
Roosevelt, under the guiding
counsel of Mr.. Quezon.
1t can only be rightly done
by return TO regime of CO.
operation" shared by both Fill
pinos and Americans.
President Roosevelt obviously
believes that independence can
be declared now, and as soon as
American fighting forces have
swept out the japanese invad-
ers, independent nationhood can
be Immediately est blished
around the personality of Mr..
Quezon.
There are strong grounds for
believing that this is not so. In
part the reasons inhere in Mr..
Quezon himself. His own one
time party followers, his one
time cabinet members, to a dis
maying degree, are serving the
Japanese. There are reasons to
believe that his own autocratic
methods have alienated the Fill
pino people from him.
There are asons, which
should appeal to Americans, for
building a restored Philippine
government on a more Rpresen-
tative basis than that developed
by-Mr. Quezon during the years
when he was president of the
Philippine Commonwealth and
was the regnant political au-
thority over the Filipino people.
