in part: 1T is my aim to get in
touch with as many of our fellow

sponsored by any particular organi-

Tydings- McDuffie Law Defines
Powers
Granting for the sake of argument:
If the Philippine government were
not in exile could it possess the full
characteristics of a truly sovereign
power? My answer to this PROPOSE
ton would be in the negative.
The Tydings- McDuffie law, an in
strument which created the Philip
pine Commonwealth constitution,
defines the powers vested in the
Commonwealth government and
also the authority retained by the
United States over that Government.
The same authority and powers are
provided for in the Commonwealth
Constitution The fundamental prin-
ciple emanating from this division
of powers is that the Commonwealth
possesses all the powers of govern
ment granted to it by the Indepen-
dence Act and other statutes and
not prohibited to it by the American
Constitution.
The United States in spite of the
Commonwealth Constitution still
retains sovereignty over the Philip
pines. The mandatory powers of the
United States over the Philippines
which are necessarily legal limita
tions over the Commonwealth Con-
stitution are expressly provided for
in the Tydings- McDuffie law, sic:
THE Philippine Constitution shall
be republican in form and shall con-
tain bill of rights either as part
thereof or to be contained in an
ordinance to be appended thereto"
All citizens of the Philippine Is
lands shall owe allegiance to the
United States; and every officer of
the Commonwealth government

Philippine Government Functions
Not by Right, But by Sufferance

Some interesting arguments have been elected by those
who contend that the Philippine Governmentn should

This writer has propounded in brief article published in
this paper sometime that the Philippine Governmental
Exile, in fact any foreign government existing within the
political and territorial domain of any sovereign government
could not function normally under its constitution.
