The Philippine Islands

| Davao on Mindanao, and Iloilo on
Panay. On the other hand, Japa-
nese control has been recently re-
ported to be extremely insecure
in many parts of the Philippines,
with large areas under Free
Philippine government, led by
Americans and Filipino patriots.
The 1941 population of the Phil.
ippines was estimated at nearly
100000. Tagalog and Visayan
are leading native languages, edu-

! The native population of the
Philippines is diverse in charac.
teristics, religions, and customs.
! The Filipinos (slight, with brown.
ishyellow skins and straight black
hair) form the most numerous and
normally, the dominant ruling
group. An Indonesian people scat
tered chiefly throughout the cen
trail lowland areas, they are large
! ly Christianized, the result OF
Catholic missionary work during
the Spanish period.
Mixed blood is common in the
Philippines. The late president,
Manuel Quezon, head of the emf
gre government in the United
States, was half Spanish. His sue
cessor, Sergio Osmena is partly
of Chinese ancestry, another i'm
portant racial element in the is
lands.
Although in the minority, the
primitive Philippine tribes are
many and varied. Outstanding are
the Igorots, warlike pagans of
mountainous Luzon, with an old
reputation for headhunting, and
the Mohammedan Moros of Min
danao and nearby-islands, who,
after defying Spanish conquest, re-
sisted American domination for
years.

Harbor. In one engagement, the
1gorots, mounted on American
tanks as jungle guides, fought with
what General Macarthur called
'breath-taking, heart-stopping des-
peration. :" In peacetime, the Igo-
rots carry on extensive rice cult

terraced farms along the noun
tainsides, protected by high walls
that retain soil and moisture.

The Big Offensive

With winter closing In on western Europe
and the major Allied offensive against Ger
many making slow progress, we naturally Won
der il the campaign to knock Hitler higher
than cooked hat can be concluded before
snow and cold terminate military activities be-
fore another spring comes.
No one can say with certainty what lies
ahead both for Germany and the Allies, but
one wel-known war analyst, writing of the
present situation, obviously finds no reason
for anxiety concerning the way the battle is
going on the Western front.
The writer is Dewitt Mackenzie, Of the AS
ISOLATED Press. What he writes is worth pom
dering Says he:
THE reason Eisenhower hasn't already
struck is mainly due, as I see it, to the ne
eessity Of bringing up vast supplies under
fierce handicaps. We probably even are JUS
tiled in saying that the Allies might be across
the Rhine right now, headed for Inter Den
Linden, if they had possessed the wherewithal
when they first came up against the West
Wall in mid-September. That's not anybody S
10ult, Dut Ii one Oh LuOSe 1TOI4c Qu1TKS or war
over which nobody has control.
1--WE outdistanced our supplies in the amaz-
ing re-and-hound chase Of the Nazis across
broad France Actually, we were ahead OF
schedule when the hare went to ground in
his own safetyzone.
Allied striking power was temporarily short
eircuited by coming up against the German
frontier defenses. While the chase continued
over open ground, our magnificent air and
road transport kept lis sufficiently supplied
But the Siegfried line is another proposition
It demands heavy equipment and mountains
Of materiel That means not only air and road
transport but railways-and don't forget thai
1t calls for ports, because the Allied armie.
are dependent on sea-borne supplies.
Actually the Allied transport system ha.
performed one of the wonders of military his
tory. Lieut.. General Somervell, commander
Of the Army Service Forces, discloses tina
during the first 100 days Of the invasion th'
Allies landed $500 900 troops, 500. 900 vehicles
and 10000 o0 ship tons Of munitions, vehicle
and supplies. This Is more than twice a

much as General Pershing received all told
in the last war.
| Those 100 days bit more than covered the
period Of the Allied charge to the German
frontier However, you'll note that General
Somerven says the troops and supplies were
landed in the 100 days This doesn't &C.
count for the titanic task of moving them
ard subsequent cargoes-across France by air
by highways which the Nazis had damaged,
anc by railroads that still are far from normal
Ever since the invading troops fought their
way out of Normandy, endless Tines of supplies
have been following them faithfully. But the
Allies have had to meet the huge daily needs
of their armies, as well as pile up reserve
for the drive to the Rhine.
Naturally, we aren't told how great that
reserve has become We do know the Allies
have been hampered by inadequate port IA
cilities. The bulk Of the supplies have been
going through Cherbourg and through the
amazing Normandy beach-head harbors But
these ports are about $50 miles from the Al
lied front.
1.-The Belgian port of Antwerp, which Is one
of the worlds greatest, may shortly ease Els
enhowers problem. This city, which is or
the River Scheldt, was captured intact by the
Allies. 1t lies directly back of the Allied north
ern flank where the offensive is likely to be
staged, and has good rail facilities to the
front.
1.-THE difficulty has been that the Nazi big
guns could reach the Scheldt estuary from
neighboring Dutch territory and so prevent
shipping from reaching Antwerp. However, the
Csnadian-British operations to Gust the Ger
mans from that part of Holland appear to be
successful conclusion This may
hasten the launching of the big offensive"

The Philippines were Uncle
Sans most distant outpost.
When the United States won the
islands from Spain, in 1898-99,
many Americans had to get out
their aliases to locate the new
Far Eastern holdings. They learn.
ed that the Philippines were more
than $3.50 miles, at their nearest
point, from San Francisco; that
their conquest and $4,000, 900 pur-
chase price had extended the ter
ritorial arm of the United Sta ties
to a spot only 335 miles from
China, 100 miles from Japan's
then recently-g gained island of For
mosa (Taiwan), and 1900 miles
from Tokyo.
In the neignborhood were other
colonial possessions, British and
French, while to the south stretch
ed the vast island empire of the
Netherland Indies.
Forty three years after the
United States established it's stake
in the far Pacific, Philippine maps
were again in demand. This time
they identified devastated Manila
and its base at Cavite, then en-
battled Bataan and Corregidor, as
Pacific war headlines told the
story of the Japanese attack and
the heroic resistance of American
and Philippine defenders of the
islands.
Japanese conquest of the Philip
pines bagged more than 1000 is
lands, big and little. Although few
er than 500 of them have an area
of more than one square mile, the
two largest ones, Luzon in the
north, and Mindanao in the south,
are roughly equal in size to Ken
lucky and Indiana. In all, the
seized area amounted to more
than $4,000 square miles-a tropi-
cal spread of luxuriant vegetation
and extensive forests, with noun
tains (many of them active vol
canoes) reaching up some 5000
feet.
Resources taken over by the Jap
anese included forest products and
such War-useful minerals as iron,
chromium, copper, manganese,
and gold. In addition, the Philip
pines were practically a monopo-
listic source of abaca, the so-called
Manila hemp, which provides the
worlds best fiber for rope. They
produced quantities of export crops
of sugar, tobacco, and coconut
products valuable in making ex-
plosives, soap, margarine), and
large amounts of rice, corn, vege-
tables, and other food supplies
normally for home consumption.
The captured capital and big
commercial and industrial city,
Manila, had a prewar population
of $4,000. Important ports taken
over included Cebu on the island
of the same name, Zamboanga and
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1944-10-29

They make a primitive living by
hunting with bows and arrows Ia
few use the blowgun), by collect
ing forest products, and a little
sketchy farming.
The years of American control
brought striking changes in every
day life in the Philippines, al
though the nipa hui and water
buffalo remained typical props OF
local scenery. Health conditions
were improved; pure drinking wa
ter introduced to towns and vii
lagos; Manila, once called "cess:
pool of disease was cleaned up.
Leper colonies were established;
smallpox, cholera, bubonic plague
brought under control. Railways
and roads were built and ports
improved. An extensive educa-
tional system was set up, with
special accent on vocational train
ing. American dress, customs, and
slang were widely adopted.
The Philippines claimed the
highest standard of living in the
Far East. In 1889, the islands were
fifth among purchasers of U. S.
goods. They took such products as
automobiles and tires, machinery,
electrical goods, petroleum pro-
ducts. From the Philippines I'm
Gle Sam bought still more-abaca
and other fibers, chromium, dye
woods, sugar, tobacco, copra, and
coconut oil.
Under American rule, the Phil
ippines had received a large mea-
sure of self government, the Unit
ed States retaining the post of
High Commissioner and certain
responsibilities in such fields as
national finance, foreign relations,
immigration, and defense. In 1885
the islands became common
wealth, with an elected president
and National Assembly. Complete
independence had been promised
in 1916, although many students
of Philippine-American relations
foresaw grave economic disad-
vantages in that status through
the loss of free-trade privileges.

Taxing Away Jobs

An advertisement of Time magazine points
out that majority of authorities both New
Deal and otherwise, strongly urge modifica-
ton OF tax levies against industry even to
tie extent Of eliminating corporate taxation.
i further points out that the biggest obstacle
Of such sound renovation of the tax struc-
ture is the failure of the people to see how
jobs and taxes are interviewer Until they do,
Congress will be slow to act 1t says: To-day,
business earnings are taxed twice. First the
Federal government takes up to IS per cent
of the profits through corporation taxes; then
it takes up to 81 per cent Of what is left in
individual income taxes on the dividends. In
many cases the most successful man can
hope to keep for himself out of the earnings Of
a successful venture is about 81 out of each
$10O of profit-wth the government taking the
other $1,000.
is that enough? Would you bet $500 at
even money to win 81? You certainly wouldn't
If you figure that way your own money
you can be sure that any man who has to
invest lot Of his own and other people S
money will feel and act the same way. And
SO our corporation taxes create a real danger
that after the war business will just play safe
with its money, instead of starting the new
enterprises that will give people good jobs
and make the country hum with peacetime
activity

Take This Training

The National Safety Council, actuaries of in.
surance companies, statisticians and econom-
lists generally, lose no opportunity to point out
the tragic toll of human lives in home and
farm accidents and on the highways of the
country. Figures have been produced show
ing more Americans die from accidents than
On the battlefields of this war.
This being so, the question is what can be
done to save lives at home? There are, of
course, many things individuals may do to
reduce the hazards of accident, but the pres
ent purpose is to consider means for preserv-
ing life after accidents, for reducing the prob
ability of death for those who suffer injuries
because the number of doctors and surgeons
limited due to the demands laid upon these
professions by the military services.
The percentage of deaths following accidents
is high because medical attendance and com.
petent nudDing too often are not Immediately
to be had 1t is easy, but exceedingly sad,
to understand that an accident victim is all
too liable to die if, as in many cases, he
must wait one, two or even three days for
an overworked doctor to get to him and the
only service is given by willing but inexperi-
enced friends who have no idea how to treat
his injuries.
Medical schools are doing what they can to
train physicians and surgeons but the science
OF medicine, being an exact one, requires long
training. There is no immediate relief in sight
for recruiting the ranks of doctors for civilians.
The next best means for hating the accident
death toll, therefore, is to train more nurses,
and particularly nurses aides. In this war
emergency girls and young women may learn
the rudiments of nursing in comparatively
short time and be ready to administer treat
ment competently when no doctor is at hand.
There is immediate need for a large corps
OF girls and young women to take up nurses
aide training. Wilmington needs them, as does
every other community, in large numbers.
With all other communities, Wilmington also
aid to accident victims
| The benefits of the training accrue not alone
to victims, but to trainees as well. How much
better it is to know what to do when loved
one is hurt than to stand by wringing ones
hands and wishing doctor or nurse were
| on hand.
The Wilmington chapter of the Red Cross
is offering courses in both nurses aide and
first aid training. Full information concerning
registering for them may be obtained by tele-
| phone or personal call at Red Cross head.
