Government of the Philippines

There hasn't been hardly day since the invasion of the Philippines during which the Government of the Islands has failed to operate. President OSmena and Resident Commissioner Romulo of the Philippines acknowledge grateful tribute to that great patriot, former President Quezon for his pioneer work in laying the foundation Stone of Bataan," known as the Jones Act, through which declaration
 America gave its first pledge of freedom to the people of the Philippines, and Jue- zon'S constant leadership of his people through nearly 28 years.
 President OSmena served hand-ln-hand with his predecessor through long years as vice president, and in recent years the heavy responsibilities of government have hung heavily on his shoulders. When the Great Reaper took Manuel Quezon away his work was carried forward with out any interruption by Osmena. The United States Government at Washington accepted Sergio OSmena with delay. Now we know that President Osmena landed with General MacArthur in the Philip pines, and he is there, on the spot, con- ducting with every possible degree of efficiency, the public affairs of the Com monwealth government.
 Perhaps there never has been terri tory of Commonwealth in history that has stood as high in approval of power full Nation as the Philippines has with the United States Admiral Dewey told the Filipinos in 1898 that they would be- come an independent people; President Mckinley made an identical pledge. The Philippines thought we were pretty slow in redeeming our promises, and they had right to complain. But the mills of gov ernment are always like the mills of the gods that grind exceedingly slow. Now, there is reason to believe that in the very month when Japan is defeated that the Philippine Islands will be absolutely free. They are competent to govern themselves and manage their own affairs, and the United States will see them through to victorious finish. All hail the President and the people of the Philippine Islands

Foreign Affairs"

There is one aide of the national polti- cal debate over foreign affairs that has been receiving too little attention. Pres ident Roosevelt said over year ago: Congress in passing and extending the Lend-Lease Act made it plain that the United States wants no new war debts to jeopardize the coming peace. Victory and a secure peace are the only coin in which we can be repaid" The President qualified the latter sentence, somewhat!
 Now the newspapers are arguing in their editorials as to whether United States should expect to receive repayment from the nations we have saved in this war, or whether the debt, should be can- celled.
 There is no rule in finance, economics 5Dr trade by which millions or billions of dollars are turned over to good friends in trouble without expectation of repay ment. The taxpayers have been called upon to back the most expensive venture in all history by reason of this war. We have loaned and leased to the limit to the United Nations, principally Great Britain and Soviet Russia. They owe us billions tI dollars and there is every reason why
 tsE should repal t when they can.

Rewards of Genius

The spectacle of the belated apprecla- tion of a genius, dead and gone these hundred years, is always sad one. And the fate of Edgar Allan Poe, though he died only 95 years ago, has for some time been prime example of too much recog- milton accorded too late. But the crown ing irony of Poe'S posthumous career hao to wait until few days ago when the manuscript of his famous short story, sThe Murders in the Rue Morgue," Solo at auction for $34,000.
 This, of course, is more money than poor Edgar ever saw or even dreamed of in his widest dreams, which were considerably wild. And it was paid for the same tale told in the same words than an earlier public, though not without taste in such matters, failed to applaud and reward.
 But the most ironic aspect Of the sale is that this high-priced manuscript IS generally accepted as the model for that mighty profitable form of literary expres- sion, the murder mystery.
 When you thing of the book, serial, re- print, screen and radio royalties that to- days heirs to the Poe whodunit tradl- tiOn collect, it would have seemed at least appropriate for the Stouts, Hammets, Queens, Gardners, Christies and the rest to have banded together to purchase the manuscript themselves, then suitably en- Shrined it and offered devout thanks every morning before sitting down to the typewriter.

The Need Continues

Military medical men have learned much about the life7saving properties of blood plasrna since the war began. And one of the lessons is that speed and quantity are often of highest importance. By a newly developed technique, many patients are now given four bottles simul- taneously, with plasma being fed into both arms and both legs.
 Plasma is also being packaged in quarts rather than pint bottles now, for it has been found that cases commonly require two or three pints and some have required 10.
 It has been comforting to think that a pint of our blood will save a soldiers or sailors life. Perhaps it does some times, but we know now that one pint often will not do the job
 Blood donors have been admirably gen. erous, but the need is still great. These new techniques are a reminder of that and no more reminder should be neces- Sary.

Tall Guessing

Of course, you do not need to take Prime Minister Churchill as a final authority that the war in Europe will not be ended before the summer of 1945. Nobody knows when Hitler and Japan will acknowledge that they are licked but it is certain that MT. Churchill is allowing "too much rope" for the final ceremonies. The wide differences in public opinion is widely illustrated in the last days before election when opposing candidates are claiming that victory IS tn the bag"
 The tall-guessing about jobs after the war goes anywhere from 60 million to 10 million-.if the lower figure material izes that will just about take up the slack in employment that there was when the present World War broke out-and that ought to be satisfactory.
 There is all sorts of wild guessing about the building of new homes in 1945, ana the politicians all seem to think every married couple wants a comfortable utCIe nest of their own. even though this appar- ently positive conclusion is disputed by the fact that there is a terrific scramble among all sorts of married people living in cities to rent comfortable apartments
 Undoubtedly the situation points toward continuation of high wages, but the wild guessers who think that there will be sky-high increases must be mis- taken; because they are at the same time preaching against "inflation," and the contrary views of increased cost of living. That means that there must be price declines, not pyramidal rises. All this dovetails questions of lower or higher taxes and that gives an opportunity to express the belief that taxes will be higher after the war than they were dur ing the war.
 In short, all these people who are do ing tall guessing seem to skip the big idea that our country is already following most of the charts of the Old World where the rich get richer and the poor poorer, which is food for reflection which ever way the election goes next Tuesday

 ELECTION FIGHT IN VIRGINIA Washingtonians, who can't vote, are getting a secondhand kick out of the vigorous fight being waged against alleged" Demo- crat Congressman Howard Smith just across the Potomac in Vir- ginia. Nettled by the unexpected fight, Smith has gone out of his way to try to frighten his op- position.
 First he had his opponent, Elizabeth Chiffon Murray, haul ed before the House Campaign Expenditures Committee. Now he has intimated to Mrs. Virginia Durr, wife of able PCC commits sioner Cliff Durr that he contem- plates a libel suit against her. Durr is the brother-in-law of Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, and Mrs Durr last week accused Smith of certain trans actions in connection with the National Airport.
 A few days later, she received a curt note from the Congress men enclosing a newspaper clip ping on her speech. q consider these rem arks defamatOry," Smith said, asking her to ex- anime the clipping and inform him if she. had been misquoted. Mrs. Durr does not consider that she was miSquoted.

She states that the congressman said he needed this money to help finance his election campaign.
 Miss Colquist, however, refused. She didn't have $1,400 in the first place and, in the second place, felt that she was entitled to her full salary.
 Forced to leave, she was then given job by another Buffalo Congressman, Walter G. Andrews, also Republican. MT. Andrews has attached no string to Miss Colquist's salary.
 NOTE: Congressman Butler also has his daughter-in-law, Mrs. George Butler, on the Government payroll as a secretary in his of- flee.
 More information has just come to light regarding another con- gressman who goes in for salary kickbacks, Representative Ed Rowe of Ohio, who required his secre- tary, Mrs. Margaret Nelson, to turn back around $110 per month out of her salary for the upkeep of his private office in Akron.
 It further appears that Con- gressman Rowe, on receiving re- quests from some of his constitu- ents to do special jobs for them in washington, referred them to his campaign manager, a lawyer who charged the constituents 8 fee, thus getting reimbursed for his campaign services.
 One of Congressman Rowe's constituents, Burt Vandevier of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, states that that, when his boy died in the Navy, the Veterans Ad- miniStratiOn was slow in pay

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT THE
 HAN TO FINISH .- THE JOB
Waterbury, Conn. Nov. 2, 1944

Waterbury, conn.
 Nov. 2, 1944 To The Editor:
 We the American people are con- fronted with a decision, one which must be made in this coming elec- tion, and must be made in the right direction. We've had in the past twelve years an administration which has done more for the com- mon people as well as the business man than any other in the past, for no one can deny that the twelve years previous were more or less a nightmare to us and to have that happen to us again is out of the question.
 President Roosevelt has done an admirable job in the past and will continue to do so in the future. For instance we can look to Hoover'S time, bread lines, bullets instead of bonus money, and a prosperity which was supposed to be around some corner. It took Pres. Roosevelt to find that corner for us, and we're going to keep it if possible. He has given us a right to live decently and we'll not relinquish that right to any man who hasn't the qualifi- cations for the job. The Republican party has in the past and will again in the future stop the under priv iliged people from advancing for ward.
 We the people want this war to come to an end now, and in the quickest possible way and to make a change now would only prolong its end. We have man at the White House now who knows how to go about the business at hand and by putting one in there now who hasn't the ''know'' of 1t will surely prolong hostilitieS much longer. Pres. Roose- welt must stay in there because we want finish to the war and peace which is going to be an everlasting one for the sake of all concerned. We've progressed a long way toward that goal and there is no retraction from 1t. Isn't 1t a fact then that we must reelect Pres. Roosevelt in order to carry on. And I'm sure the people no matter what their previous be- liefs have been known that they have the man at the White House now who has all the qualifications to do the job and in the knowing way.

WATER IN THE LUNGS

When a peson drowns is water always found in the lungs? I ask because man I knew was found apparently drowned recently. He had for years had. some heart trouble, and also his relatives said he had suffered with cramps once before when in swimming. To com plicate matters, there were some marks that might have been caused by blows by some heavy dull ob- ject (S. L. A0 p
 Death by drowning is due to as- phyxia (suffocation, deprivation of air) and not to the few spoonfuls or maybe the few drops of water that may get into the lungs. The postmortem signs, therefore, are those of asphyxia. Little or noth- ing can be proved by the finding of, or by the absence of water Cor whatever fluid the victimis presum- ed to have drowned in) in the bronchial tubes. More characteristic of drowning is the presence of clear or blood -tinged foam or froth full of fine air bubbles in the wind--' pipe and bronchial tubes. Often water or whatever fluid the victim drowned in is found in the stomach.
 Asphyxia supervenes about two minutes after submersion, and death follows five minutes later.
 A boy about 2 years old playing in, the ice fell Into open water where ice harvesters had cut the ice. His companions saw him dis appear, ran across the pond and told the men, who ran to the open place, saw the boys cap floating. fished around with pole hooks and pulled the boy out on the solid ice. They ran across the pond to 8 shack, began a search for barrel to roll the child on, while book keeper telephoned the nearest doc tor, who happened to be the geek who now conducts this column. It probably took the doctor at least two minutes to reach the scene.
 Fair to estimate the boy had been drowned at least four minutes, pos sibly longer. The doctor applied schafer's method of artificial res piration-NOT the modified method taught by the American Red Cross. Thick viscid fluid drained from the nose and mouth during the resus- citation-I do not believe the fluid would have drained out of the breathing passages had the method taught by the American Red Cross been applied, because even limp1d water will not run uphill. Anyway the boy survived. Luckily no first alder trained by the American Red Cross perpetrated the wrong meth cd of resuscitation on the victim.
 Even today there are good many people who purport to be in- telligent but who do not know how to resuscitate and hence are worse than useless in an emergency. How can such people sleep at night? What if the emergency should oc- cur that very night. say from acci- dental carbon monoxide asphyxia- ton? Let us hope there is a Boy Scout or a Girl Scout in the neigh borhood-he or she will know what to do.
