 We are ai army Of free citizens like yourselves, reafiirming unto death that Democratic processes shall not pass. We are democracy ct war, democracy built only upon lasting truth and justice the American way"
 Liberation to the Filipinos as brought by MacArthur Is the most liberal yet, exceeding even those of some of the European theaters.
 There is no military government and control of the freed areas IS passing to the Osmena government, which will set up courts soon to mete out justice to "quislipgs" h the Philippines. The only persons to be handled by the U. s. forces will be military traitors. ..
 The government will have full authority and will operate it's own relief agencies, rather than depend on the United Nations relief and rehabilitation association.

 With the 10th and 24th army corps already inland an average of at least five miles oil along the front, army engineering units rushed repairs to newly.captured Tacloban and Dulag airfields and began to convert Leyt0 into what MacArthur called 'ta great base for oil arms" for the steps in the lih- eration of the Philippines.

 Artillery, tanks and SwarIns of carrier-hased divebombers blasted out Q path of advance, while flame- throwers firing into the embrasures cremated stubborn defenders oi concrete pillboxes who resisted all the other assault.
 Japanese resistance on the whole continued only moderate and no cohesive counter-attacks yet h6l developed. Enemy planes made minor, intellectual" raids on the 600-ship invasion armada, official sources said, but ceaseless air ate tacks on landing fields throughout the area kept most Japanese aircraft grounded.
 "The enemys forces, after their preliminary defeat, are apparently withdrawing to the west" Mac- Arthur reported in his fourth com- munique of the central Philippines invasion. "Their supply problem is already becoming difficult and, should they be forced into the hills, would become acute"

French sources said they had been equipped with British and American weapons by the French forces of the interior, who freed the epaniards from inc ternment after routing their Ger man and Viehy guards. Orders To Farmers
 Spanish military authorities in the fighting area ordered farmers to remain in their homes and not to venture into the hills and noun tains because they might be mis. taken for Maquis by army troops. Maquis fired c number of farnl- houses in one section, the Barcelo. na dispatch said
