Before Pearl Harbor, hree-fourths OF
Philippine trade was with the United
States. II forced Immediately to sur
mount cur tariff barriers, Filipino enter
prises would be compelled to drop their
wage scales to Oriental levels or
liquidate. Although sugar accounted for
nearly half of Philippine exports to
this country, cordage, coconut products,
embroidery, pearl buttons and pine
apples were important items in the
trade.
The $450000,00 plus, which it is pro-
posed to appropriate to compensate the
Filipinos for war damages, compares
with estimates Of their war losses run
ming as high as 81 ,200, ,O00,0 900, The high
figure is that of the Philippine Com
monwealth itself.
Tydings Sets Figure High.
Senator Millard E. Tydings Demo-
craft. Maryland, chairman of the Com
mittee on Territories and Insular Affairs,
who visited the islands last summer as
member of the Philippine Rehabiiita-
ton Commission, arrived at figure of
nearly $500, 900 900, as a result of studies
made by the commission.
The pending legislation does not at
tempt to compensate the Filipinos for
all their war losses for two reasons One
Is the thought that they should carry a
portion Of the burden themselves. The
other is that claims for compensation
for certain types of losses are not to be
considered. These are chiefly luxury
items which, however valuable, are not
required for maintenance of the econ
omy. Among them are works of art
and objects of historical or scientific
interest.
The Rehabilitation Commission fig
ured the war damage of the islands at
s1s5, ,347, ,595 to public property; s464, 400
600. to private property; $125 900 900 to
properties OF the Catholic church, and
$4,000, 900 to other church properties.
The bill would set up Philippine War
Damage Commission to administer the
funds appropriated. There would be
three members, appointed by the Pres
ident of the United States, and one
would be Filipino. Work of the CON-
mission would be completed within two
years.
Approved claims for damages up to
$500 would be paid in full, but those for
greater amounts would be reduced
arbitrarily by rs per cent of the excess
over $500. Claims of enemy aliens or
collaborators would not be considered.
Army Engineers to Aid.
The appropriation for rehabilitation
of private property would be $3.50 000, 900,
for public properties, s120,0OO,OOO. In
addition, war surplus property in the
islands, up to $4,000 900 in value, would
be turned over to the Philippine govern
ment for use in restoring public func-
tions and encouraging private enter
prise. The various programs for train
ing Filipihos in public service would
represent another contribution. Funds
would be provided from time to time

PROBLEM OF FREEING INDIA DIFFICULT

LONDON.-If not in its essential
contents, then at least in its form, Win
ston Churchill's New York speech is re-
garded here as a considerable retreat
from the thunderous grafton at Fulton.
He is agreed now that war is not immi-
nent. He bespeaks for Russia a peace
in world worthy of the heroism of its
people. He is confident that common
understanding is possible.
It does not seem an exaggeration to
suggest that Churchill has himself been
alarmed by the hostile reception of his
first speech. DR.. Herbert We're Evatt,
Australian Minister of External Affairs,
went out of his way to Canberra to ex-
press his complete skepticism about
Churchill's premises. And although
Field Marshal Jan c. Smuts did his best
to minimize the character of Churchill's
utterance, it was obvious that even the
normal GOODNESS of the South African
statesman was staggered by the alarm
ing character of Churchills diagnosis.
do not think that it has even had
the effect of strengthening his hold on
Tory opinion in this country. It is diff
cult for a victorious ex-Prime Minister
to resume easily or successfully the role
of Cassandra.
It Is not difficult to understand why
the roaring lion of Fulton was the
cooling dove in New York. In the reply
Of Generalissimo Stain, careful dis
tinction between the outlook of Church.
i'll and that Of the British people was SO
deliberately emphasized that it could
hardly be mistaken, even in the WAL
dorf-Astoria Hotel
In any case, discussion of Churchilrs
fulminations has been thrown COM
pletely in the shade here by Prime Min
lister Clement Attlee,s remarkable speech
of March IS on the visit of the British
Cabinet Committee to India.
For the first time in history, British
Prime Minister has spoken openly of
Indian rights to independence and Of
the anxiety Of his government to assist
In securing it. For any practical pur-
poses, the Cripps proposals Of four years
ago are now dead. The claim Of India
to complete self-government holds the
neld. The central issue Is not whether
