Observations
McNutt Gets Tough
Task as Philippine
High Commissioner
By HELEN ESsARY

wAshington-Paul McNutt Is an
able and resourceful public servant.
But--what trouble he is walking
into as high commissioner OF the
Philippines!
Even before the war II was al
most impossible to make a success
OF the Philippine commissionership
But now-well, the. odds are none
too good against McNutt. In the
first place. the islands have been
shot to pieces. There is almost
nothing there but debris and con-
fusion.
The debris and confusion how
ever thick, could be cleared away
II this bright young United States
government had ever adopted an
island policy. Nobody actual
ly knows what we want to do with
our islands. You hear a hundred
contrary ideas about the smart
e ,no'e' Enslanu mas a uet-
mite Island poicy. She says:
Hold on to them tight. They're
revenue. They're empire. Hold
on-at any price.
But we have no island plan. No
international plan. Not even now.
