Huks win portal
victory in Luzon

MANILA-The Huks and ten
ant farmers of Central Luzon
have won a partial victory in a
tentative agreement of landlords
to a drastic reduction of crop
rent to 80 per cent.
This preliminary accord was
reached at a landlord-tenant con.
ference sponsored by the govern
ment, which holds out the hope
of eventual" purchase and dis
tribution of big estates.
Meanwhile, although the Huks
and the government are ap-
preaching an armed truce, the
landlords civil guards" continue
their campaign of determination,
and so the Huks hang on to their
only defense, the Illegal weap-
ons with which they fought the
JapS.
