Philippine Trade Bill
Near Final Passage
After Senate Approval

Congress may complete action to-
day on the Philippine trade and re-
habilitation bills-both intended to
help the islands recover from effects
of the war as they embark on their
era of independence July 4.
The Senate, took final action late
yesterday on the trade bill, after
conferees from both houses had
settled the only point in contro-
versy, the Philippine sugar quota.
The House conferees abandoned
their stand for a cut from 850,000
long to short tons annually, which
would have reduced Philippine sugar
shipments to this country by $4,000
long tons year. AS a concession
to the House, the Senators agreed
to use the short-ton yardstick in
describing the sugar quota. The
final draft, therefore, allows the
Philippines to ship $4,000 short tons
year, which is the same as the
850,000 long tons in the original
bill.
Meanwhile, another group of con-
ferees reached agreement late yes
terday on the rehabilitation bill,
with the Senate conferees accepting
the higher figures in the House bill.
aggregating $625 ,000, 900. The Senate
bill carried $3.50, 100000. The House
receded on one provision of the bill,
which did not change the amounts.
If the House approves the con-
ference agreement on the trade bill
today that measure will be ready
for President Truman's signature.
Both branches must still act on the
rehabilitation conference report,
and may do SO this afternoon.
Since the Philippines will be given
their independence on July 4, some
action by Congress was necessary
to determine the conditions that
should govern future trade between
the islands and the United States.
! Recognizing that the Filipinos
were under the American flag for
nearly half century, and that their
agriculture and industry were shat
tered by the war, the trade bill
allows the islands 8 years of free
trade, followed by 20 years of gradu-
al application of tariffs, at the rate
of S per cent a year of the reduced
Cuban rates. In addition to sugar
other major Philippine products are
placed under quotas, including cord
age, rice, tobacco, coconut oil and
buttons.
The rehabilitation bill authorizes
$400 100000 for settlement of indi-
vidual war damage claims; $780,
100000 to rebuild highways, docks
and other public facilities; permits
the transfer of 100000, 900 worth
of surplus materials to the islands
: and carries $4,000, 900 for improve
ments to Federal property in the
: islands.
