ly before the Inauguration of the
PHILIPPINE Republic and left to
shift for themselves.
For Freedom and Democracy
These facts, gentlemen, will give
you an idea of the present un-
happy plight of the Filipino vet
eran. am presenting them to
you in the hope that you shall
extend to him all the support and
assistance that you can give. You
have preoccupations of your own,
problems nearer home and closer
to your hearts. But cannot help
thinking that no group of men
can more truly sympathize with
the problems of the Filipino vet
eran than you who, in the words
of our President fought under
the American flag in defense of
American territory, but chiefly in
defense of the principles of free
dom and democracy" For the Fill
pino veteran fought too under the
American flag, rushing to man
far-flung outpost of America to
the trumpet-call of freedom and
democracy.
Mutual Gratitude and Respect
The Philippines is now indepen-
dent. Our freedom we count as a
precious gift from the American
people, but more particularly from
you who have sought to bring
the blessings of liberty and just
ice wherever these have been
denid by a tyrant or dstroyed by
an invader. The bond that unites
our two peoples is a bond of
mutual gratitude and respect and
it has been established by the
letter of no law alone the law
by which the instincts of the
human heart are guided.
Justice is All he Wants
And is is on the basis of this
law that l now appeal to you,
gentlemen, to give a little of your
time to a just and reasonable
consideration of the problems of
the Filipino veteran. All he wants
is justice. He asks no more than
that. For he Is too good a soldier
and too proud as Filipino to
place his service and his secrif-
ice on the scales of tawdry mat
erialism. And he knows that he
will secure justice in the end,
because he knows America with
the simple instinct of the man
who comprehends perfectly we'll
the worth of humane sentiments
and the responsibilities of nation
al greatness.
The Filipino veteran must, be-
fore it is too late, secure appro-
pirate redress of his grievances.
Seeing you here today and feeling
around me the warmth of your
sympathy, l am sure he will.
