 When sheer tragedy comes-death for which Martin is responsiblet yet only in that responsibility of others to him failed-it is old Anna, the Swiss nurse to whom he finally turns and finds comfort and refuge from terror. Here is senitive and tender writing, particularly in the creation of the boy Martin, whose portrait is memorable.

PETITION OF
WORKING MEN

Shortly before President Os-

crowd of 10000 workingHnen who
staged demonstration on Mala
canaan grounds that he was happy
to receive them and eager to hear
their petition. Man must be free
from want" he declared, address,
ing the demonstrators. I'VE must
expand our social legislation pro-
gram to include all the neglected
phases of the workers life. We
must keep that always in mind.
We will have fought the war in
vain, the patriotic sacrifices and
suffering of our people will have
been in vain, if our leaders ne
elected the interests of the
masses of the people. They in
deed demand-have long de-
manded-a fairer share in the
fruit of labor, better wages, a
piece of land they can call their
own, a home in which to live,
and ample opportunity for their
children" Pres. Osmena created a
Committee composed of Sec.
Montelibano, Jose Locsin, and
Marcelo Adduru to study the de-
mands of the demonstrators.

COMMENTS
ON COEVAL LIFE
By VICTORIA A. VELAsCo

This is the era of the Atomic
Bomb. Great, paradoxiccal, the
symthesis of the knowledge and
discoveries of the centuries! In a
nutshell-tbe Atomic power that
unleashes the herculean energy of
Nature to destroy life and prop
erty alike.
This is the era of something like
the Atomic Bomb-the malicious
gossiper. Great lin her own esti-
mation), paradoxical, the prema-
ture, bastard daughter of idleness
and misspent leisure and the
weakness of human nature In
nutshell = the ill-conceived gossip
tn at unleashes the devastating
power of human fraiIty to destroy
name and fame.
How sad is our human frailty,
how shallow our cunning. We are
the first to attack for we have
something to defend; we point the
finger of condemnation to some
one to prevent discovery of our
own guilt; we shout the loudest
to drown lin vain) the still voice
of our conscience; we first sing
our triumphal song to tighten the
diree of our funeral march.
So this is life!-the eternal con-
flict between hero and villain, be-
tween hero and hero, between
villain and villain, between char
acter and the serpent-tongued gos-
siper. So this is life-the eternal
frailty, vanity and eccentricity of
human nature, and the lust of
the gossiper to feed on these
human weaknesses. So this is life
the eternal courtship of power,
wealth, and position even at the
expense of someone's name and
reputation.

Army surplus materials which will
be of great help in the rehabili-
tation of our roads, bridges, and
other public works. Some of these
aids are Immediately available;
others are still being studied; and
still others require not only ex-
ecutive decision but also legis.
lative sanction.
American Public Support
"In those matters which are
still under the consideration by
the Congress of the United States,
the sympathetic support of the
American public is necessary. 1t
is precisely in this matter where
the Filipinos in America can rem
der a patriotic service by making
public appeals in favor of our
country.
"And now l want to give you
a personal message, a message for
you, and for all our countrymen
on the West Coast and in Hawaii.
You have done your full share in
the prosecution of the war. You
have given your sons to the armed
forces; you have worke I'd long
hours in war plants; you have
time and again over-subscribed
your share in the war bond drive.
Because of the splendid record
of all Filipinos, both here and
at home, the Filipino name has
won the respect of the world.
you must keep that name good
always, especially when our coun-
try becomes independent. AS it is
then our purpose to give to the
Americans in the Philippines the
same consideration accorded TO
our own nationals, it is my hope
that in the spirit of real mutually
Filipinos remaining in the United
States will also be given the same
treatment in this country.
There is much yet to be done
for our country. l am sure the
F'ilipinos in continental United
States and Hawaii are ready to
do their part in the common task
ahead of us. l ask you to support
your Government in the program
of rehabilitation for our shattered
homeland. Above all. l ask you
to support us by adhering to the
spirit of unity. This is not the
time for Filipinos to be quarreling
among themselves.
"This is the time for us to rally
together, to bury petty differences
and MISUNDERSTANDING, to work
together in the holy cause OF re-
building our beloved Philippines. ;"

 He told the annual meeting of the American Bottlers of Carbonated beverages that no improvement in the sugar situation is forseeable until April.
 But from that time on there should be a gradual improvement in sugar supplies for the balance of the year." he said. "As such ad- ditional supplies become available they will be released for consump- tion."
 Wilson said he hoped that 1947 will see the end of the wartime control of sugar by the govern ment.
 Wilson denied reports that the Government had held down domeS- tic sugar production during the war. He recalled that sugar act limita-

CIO Answers ScoviII Go.

Issue was taken by the CIO. yes terday with the Scovill Mfg. Go for refusing to allow the use of company property for the recent strike vote.
 The union distributed leaflets tC employees, answering manage ment statement that the strike vote represented only 40 per cent of the firms employees.

 The strike vote, taken Dee. 5, was based on union demands for 30- cent-an-hour wage boost and in- clusion of a union shop clause in the new contract.
