Army Chaplain Pays
 Tribute To Filipinos
Courage. LoyoIty, Suffering Stressed By Major Shonohon tn Address

The intense loyalty Of the Ftli- pinos was emphasized last night In talk given by Major Thomas J. Shanahan, Army chaplain, who rec turned last June from the Philip pine Islands. Major Shanahan was the guest of the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women ct the Dio- cesan Bureau Of Social Service, He was presented to about one hundred women attending by Miss Lucy Bowes, chairman.
 Major Shanahan did not discuss ct length the wartime Philippines, but rather presented Q picture of this group of over 1000 islands, their progress, background of religion, education and culture, since first discovered In the early sixteenth century by Magellan, Q Spaniard, down to practically the present day when, as he said, the Filipinos will emerge from it's present destruction and levelling, to that of Christian country, who through the coming of American soldiers and the help of Catholic priests, the Major said, rec ceived food and face.
 Major Shanahan said that the Philippines have, since the attacks of the Japanese, lost property, have lost everything. The fine churches built in the course of the years by the Jesuits, by the Columbian priests of ireland, by the native and other priests, are all gone.
 The Philippines, he stated are 76 per cent Catholic, and relatively speaking are good Catholics, in pro- portion to the number of priests, which would be about one to ten thousand Filipinos.
 In his estimate of the importance of the Philippines Commonwealth, Maj. Shanahan says the two contri- outing forces that have given them character are America and Catholic priests. Spain was instrumental in their beginning and has always kept it Christian territory he stated. The position of the Philippines as a Commonwealth is due to the fact that they have been treated by America and by the different groups of priests who went out there, as human beings.
 Father Shanahan closed by say- ing that he had seen a letter from General Macarthur reciting the iln- portance of the work done by priests in the Philippines.
 A Community Chest motion pie ture was part of the program.
 The open meeting was preceded by meeting of the executive board. It was announced that the Council would assist in the coming Victory Loan. and that materials would be furnished those of the surgical dressing group who plan to do such sewing as is necessary for war re- lief.
 Miss Bowes. chairman, stated that the present membership is 3,546. The next meeting will be held Mon- day night, Nov. s. SS. Peter and Paul parish members in charge of the social hour at the open meet ing.
