McNut UrgesU. 5. Aid
In Philippine Chaos
BY the Associofed Press

BALTIMORE, April Pointing
out that Filipinos were "the only
colonial people in the world to fight
for their sovereign" Paul v. McNutt,
United States High Commissioner
to the Philippines, called on the Ma
tom in radio address yesterday
to rcstore order from the economic
chaos" now reigning in the islands.
Mr.. McNutt spoke as guest of
Senator Tydings' weekly broadcast.
He charged this country with a
Large part" of the responsibility for
the islands plight.
1T is as much to our interest to
help solve the economic problems of
the Philippines as it is to solve the
economic problems of our own de-
pressed areas in the United States.
And the obligation to do so,' he
said, sis far deeper, and far more
dramatic"
To-day I no longer doubt" he re-
ported, although I had strong
doubts eight years ago-that this
great people, given an opportunity
for economic survival, will grow and
prosper as nation"
Speaking of the Philippine polit-
ical situation, he said, "a great and
deep ferment is on the land. And
yet in three months these people
will get their independence. They
will be swept out into the chaotic
and bitterly contesting world to
fend, politically, for themselves.
"Yet I believe that the future of
the Philippines can be happy and
q prosperous one, a democratic one.
1t can be, if we, the United States,
observe our obligations to these is
lands and their people"
