COMMENTS
ON COEVAL LIFE
By VIcToRio A. VELAsCC

Proximity and closeness distort
our mental focus whereas dis
lance gives us the appropriate
perspective. Our nearness to a
portrait shows us only meaning
less strokes of the brush, appear
ing to be just careless spots or
insignificant lines, whereas a lit
tie distance shapes the whole con-
glomeration of spots and dashes
into an understandable master
piece, vibrant and full of mean
ing.
Life is full of misunderstood
ings. But the bitteIist tragedy of
it is not the inability to under
stand but in the willingness of the
spirit to pretend ignorance, in the
weakness of the spineless soul to
yield TO an unprinicipled treart.
This, from whatever angle you
view it, is called weakness of
character.
Character is forged on the anvil
of Universities. in the crucible of
sufferings and temptations. 1t is
the finished product to which null
tiple factors have contributed. 1t
is not necessarily the resultant of
accumulated wealth or inherited
social imminence nor the sole
property of the sinless saint who
remains aloft in his Ivory Tower.
This is weakness of character:
when we submerge our honest
principles to accept any dictum In
order to feed our material self;
when we succumb to the tempta-
lions of material offers in spite of
their dishonest and dishonorable
motives; when we are willing to
remain blind to corruptions,
CRAFTS, and disorders in the socie-
ty in which we live; when we lose
the nerve to go against the tide
of iniustices and wrongs perpe-
trated against our fellowmen;
when we sell our self-respect and
human dignity in order to feed
our body but starve our soul.

Philippines Aid Bills,
Due for Enactment by
Congress This Week
By J. A. OLeory

Two bills to help the Philippines
recover from the war probably will
go through the final stages Of en-
actment this week.
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee yester-
day said he would ask for . con-
ference with the Senate on the
2S-year Philippine trade agreement
bill, in which the only point to be
settled is the amount of the sugar
quota.
The Philippine war damage bill
also has passed both houses, but
Is awaiting Senate action. probably
tomorrow, on House amendments
increasing the amount of assistance
to be extended. Chairman Tydings
OF the Senate Committee on Ter
ritories and Insular Affairs is ex-
pected to decide tomorrow whether
to accept the House increases or
send the bill to conference.
War Damage Claims.
The Senate allowed $3.50, 900 ,0e0
for settlement of individual war
damage claims, which the House
increased to s400 ,000. 900. The Sen-
ate authorized transfer to the Phil
ippines Of 30,000000 worth of sur
plus war supplies, which the House
raised to 100000 900. Both branches
adopted the identical figure of $780,
100000 to restore roads, docks and
other public facilities. The House
also allowed an item of 5000 600
to restore United States property
in the Philippines.
When the trade bill goes to con-
ference the only issue will be be-
tween the House sugar quota of
$50, 900 short tons a year., and the
Senate's action Friday in restoring
the original $4,000 long tons q
year. The House cut amounted to
$4,000 long tons, or 10000 short
tons. Even though the House sends
the bill to conference instead of
concurring directly in the Senate
change, there is believed to be a
good chance the Senate figure
finally will be agreed on.
Bills Gain Wide Support.
Both the trade and war damage
bills have gained wide support in
Congress as a recognition of the
part the Filipinos took in the war
against Japan, and of the losses they
suffered.
The importance of the trade bill
lies in the fact that the Philippines
will become independent on July 4.
and such an agreement is essential
to give the Filipinos a start toward
economic recovery. The bill pro-
vides for eight years of free trade.
followed by gradual application of
tariffs during the succeeding 20
years, subject to quotas on the chief
products, like sugar. cordage. rice,
tobacco. coconut Oil and buttons.
