that all previous records for Bible distribu-

/ don't think / have thing to
tell you about last night"
Sheriff, Webb nodded. There
was a glearn in his eyes, and his
voice was quiet AS he said, well,
kinda figgered that was the way
it would, be With you. And
reckin dts all right like that.
After all, ain't much point in
prosecutin' a dead man."
Hugh looked up sharply, his
eyes questioning.
''The little gal told me quite a
bit about last night" he said
mildly. "Kinda filled in some of
the corners l didn't know about.
Of course she didn't know the
names of the fellers her Daddy
was working with, but / reckin
we can handle that. Throw a
good, hefty scare into them fell

as milk toast for quite a spell"
HUGH drew a deep breath and
l. l. ran his fingers through his
hair. "Then-you're going to let
Dams secret die with him?" he
asked.
Sheriff Webb hesitated and
colored a little. "We-ell. l don't
know as it would do anybody
any good to hit the little gal
again"
High let out a vast breath of
relief and held out his hand and
shook Sheriff Webb's hand strong
""You're a white man, Sheriff."
he told him heartily. That's a
mighty decent thing you're do
ing. The poor kid surely has
enough to contend with, without
folks knowing her father was
well, a skunk"
Hugh was speaking into the
telephone almost before Sheriff
Webb was out of his office.
CDR. Nichols? Prathe4 here" "
he said swiftly. 1T suppose you've
heard the news?"
"About Dan Lacey?" answered
DR.. Nichols in tone of satisfac-
ton. GAS good a piece of news as

publicity that couldn't do any

Key West, have been backward in caring

BY ALFRED c. LARkE,

The Philippine Islands, which bid
fair to be the only colony to get free
dom after World War II without
fighting allied armies to win it, are
threatened with hollow victory when
the United States gives them their in
dependence next July 4.
Their freedom threatens to be the
kind of freedom Americans were Of
fered in the depression of the 1930s
the freedom to work but no jobs to
work at.
A small group Of large landowners
mine operators and commercial inter-
ests that controlled the country before
the war, aided by Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur and American officials who
worship the status quo, are fighting
hard to keep the country in semi
colonial condition-with prosperity for
only themselves and the Americans
for whom they have been straw bosses.
Ten years ago this November the
United States voted independence for
the Philippines as of July 4, 1916, and
the Filipinos foresaw independence,
industrialization of their country and
a prosperity that would bring their
standards of living up to American
levels.
Today the vested interests still oc-
cupy positions of Importance and are
supported in the Philippine congress
by men who were members of the
Japanese puppet government during
Japanese occupation. Thirty per cent
to 40 per cent were in the puppet
congress. Recently they voted them
selves longer terms-puppets and pa
triots alike-and back pay was voted
for the years of Japanese occupation.
President of the senate is Manuel
Roxas, member of the puppet cabi-

gressively demanded that at such a
time as this our country should not
be deprived of the structural rein
forcements the co-operatives can give
The only alternative principle now
being prominently urged about which
to rebuild the federal farm credit
structure is the proposal to consoli'
date under one board all federal farm
lending agencies of which the two cat
egories are on the one hand those of
sound cooperative credit and on the
other, the agencies making direct gov
ernmental loans to borrowers whose
basis of credit is below the reach of
sound cooperative lending. To wisely
meet the needs of this second class
of borrowers is a desirable and com
to attempt to combine the two systems
of credit within one agency and under
the same board would introduce con-
flicting factors that could not be recon
ciled and the result, would be frustra-
ton to both systems. 1t would be par
ticularly disastrous to the unity and
integrity of the cooperative credit sys-
TEN, for it would cancel any attempt
to carry out the autonomous principle
of an elected board at the top of the
system, since it is not reasonable for
the co-operatives to elect cooperative
minded men to formulate policies to
govern the making of direct govern
ment loans. The direct loan plan pre-
supposes board members sympathetic
and committed to that system of cred
it, and thesewould almost certainly be
unacceptable to users and owners of
the cooperative system who are fully
entitled to board 100 per cent SYM
