Supervisors to
Investigate Wages

Faced with increasing demands
for higher salaries, Imperial county

Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1943-12-01

The ROOSev welt American, a
monthly publication in Seattle, is
giving generous space to Filipino
opinion In its initial number in
October, 1913, it reported long in
terview with Rudy V. Santos, local
Filipino leader In its issue for this
month, two-column story features
another interview with Santos re-
garding the recent Congressional
resolution retaining Quezon pres
ident of the Philippine Common
wealth governmental Exile for the
duration
Santos, according to the Roosevelt
American interview, believes that
Quezon has the loyalty and conf
dence of Filipinos everywhere. HE
is the George Washington of our
people and we are all delighted that
his health has improved after his
many hardships," Santos was quot
ed as saying
Re garding Filipino attitude
toward the japanese, the Roosevelt
American quoted Santos as follows:
ANY statement that any cOnsid-
cradle number of our people either
in this country or back home prefer
the treatment they now receive
from the Japs to the treatment re-
ceived from this country is utter
rot. No nation in the worlds his
tory has treated a smaller country
under its control with more regard
for right and liberty than has the
United States shown in its dealing
with the Philippines"

THE RETENTION OF PRESIDENT QUEzON
By PrudenciO p. Mort

The retention of Manuel l.. Que
ION as President of the Philippine
Commonwealth by an act of the
United States Congress has evoked
considerable arguments as to the
legality of the Congressional Act.
The Philippine Constitution which
was ratified by the U. S. Congress
provided that the President of the
Philippine Commonwealth should
hold office for six years but ineli-
gible for reelection. This provision
was amended to make the tenure
of the President four years instead
of six, and that he could be re-
elected; but that mo person shall
serve as President for more than
eight consecutive years.
Legalists are apt to say that the
summary action of the United
States Congress making Quezon
President of the Philippine Com
monwealth is a violation of the
Philippine Constitution and re-
solves itself as a direct invasion of
the rights of the Filipino people
who should have decided whether
or not Quezon should be the Pres
ident in spite of the Philippine Con-
Stitution.
1t has also been argued that Vice
President Sergio Osmenia should
have succeeded President Quezon,
since by law Quezon could not sue
coed himself Legally speaking
those who raised the hue and cry
against Quezon's succession over
himself may be right The Congress
of the United States should not ex-
ercise the right reserved to the peo-
pie of the Philippines whose choice
for President should be determined
at the ballot box.
Foreign Affairs Stressed
On the other hand it must also
be borne in mind that the Philip
pine Enabling Act, otherwise known
as the Tydings- McDuffie law, pro-
vides that the foreign affairs of the
Philippines during the Transition
Period should rest with the United
States. The conquest of the Philip
pines by the Japanese has rendered
impossible the normal operation of
Filipino forum. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1928-196?, 1943-12-01

the machinery of the Philippine
Government. To say that a sue
cessor of President Quezon should
have been elected by the Filipinos
in the United States would be as
erroneous as saying that the United
States Congress has no right to
elect a Philippine President, for the
decision of the Filipinos in the
United States, no matter how wise
and virtuous it may be, could not
be said as representing the desire
of the majority of the Philippine
electorate since popular election at
this time is utterly impossible
Realities, Not Theories
Furthermore, to say that the Phil
ippine Government in exile is SOW
erelgn is theoretically true. The
world has given tacit recognition
to this fact But we are dealing with
realities today and not with theo-
ries. We might just as well face the
cold facts. A truly sovereign Philip

ate within the physical boundaries
of a fully sovereign nation. It is
only by sufferance that the Philip
pines enjoys the status of a full
nationhood within the territorial
boundaries of the United States,
which necessarily must be sover-
eign, but unqualified and complete
sovereignty could only be enjoyed
after complete and absolute indie
pendence is granted to the Philip
pines Therefore, the necessary con-
clusion which follows this line of
reasoning is: Since the United States
Congress is the power that clothed
the Philippine Constitution with
legality, it also follows that when
that Constitution cannot operate
normally, that same Congress during
a crisis can divest that Constitution
of its legality. Furthermore, the
involvement of the Philippines in
a foreign catastrophe does not ne
gate but affirms the right of the
United States to assert her power
in times like these to assume con-
troll of the foreign affairs and
necessarily part of the domestic
affairs of the Philippines.
