OSMENA GIVES
STATISTICS ON
COLLABORATION

President Osmena has issued
summary of the present status of
persons accused of collaboration
with the japanese in the Philip
pines as follows: Person originally
detained in the U. S. Army and
turned over to the Philippine Gov
eminent after the Japanese sur
render, 1888; persons released on
bail, 29S; persons still detained,
1922; persons already prosecuted,
112; persons released because of
insufficient evidence, 81. Original
Investigations conducted by the
U. S. Army appear to have stress
ed the exigeneies of military Sc
eurity rather than the needs of
criminal prosecution for treason
and similar crimes. Many cases
which have been turned over to
the Philippine Government must
therefore undergo reinvestigation.
In this work the Government is
handicapped by inadequate trans
portation facilities, destruction Of
records because of the war, and
the death of many witnesses.

OCnoolS NOW open
Our government" the President
said, has resumed it's functions
in Manila and in the provinces
and schools are now open. But the
shortage of housing facilities and
the scarcity of funds made the
operation of our public institutions

Quezon, Symbol of Freedom
During the three years of
enemy occupation, our greatest
task was to maintain the integrity
of our government, keeping it free
from enemy control. That was
why President Quezon left the
Philippines and established the
Commonwealth Government in the
United States. He did so at the
request of that champion of hui
man hbery, that staunch friend
of the Filipino people, the late
Franklin d. Roosevelt. If the head
of the Philippine Government had
not come to the United States, if
he had remained in our country
at the mercy of the enemy, the
consequences would have been dis
astrous for our country and our
cause. President Quezon in exile
became the symbol of our free

Roosevelt. he effectively main

Seattle Filipino Community
Observes Commonwealth
Day with Dance

Seattle Filipinos quietly cele-
brated the tenth and last ami
versary of the Commonwealth of
the Philippines with a dance at
the Finnish Hall November Is.
Reminding his audience t h t
this is not the time for lavish
display of financial power when
the Philippines and the Filipino
people need every dollar that we
can send them, Victoria Acosta
Velasco, president of the Filipino
Community of Seattle and vicinity,
spoke of the obligation of each
and every Filipino to his country
and people.
He said simple way to remem-
Der the anniversary of the Phil
ippine Commonwealth without un-
necessary display of vanity is
enough at this time when the re-
Mobilization problems of the Phil
ippines face all patriotic Filipinos.
At the intermission, ID Oily
Brummond of San Diego, Califor-
MIA who is vacationing here with
her friend Mrs. Victoria Dasalla,
favored the audience with a beau
tiful rendition of the popular Fill
Pine song Pacing" A thunderous
APPLAUSE compelled her to quell the
enthusiasm of the crowd by giving
an encore. People who marvelled
at her beauty when she was
dancing were likewise stunned by
the high quality of her voice.
A local Filipino tenor, Felix Ia
mora. a music major from the
University of Washington, al o
treated the crowd with his singing
of that beautiful Spanish song
"Besa Me Mucho." For an encore
he sang a Filipino dramatic song.
Corporal Willie Whitlow, who
has Just arrived from the Phillip
mines where he served in Bataan
and Corregidor, gave a very time
" message to his Filipino
friends" He paid high tribute to
the hospitality of the Filipino peo-
ME and their supreme sacritices
to make it hard for the invaders
He stressed their great need at
the present time for food ana
