A famed world traveller
interviews the first
president of the new
Philippine Republic :.

NEANUEL A. Roxas. like any other
N man in high public Office, has
plenty of friends and enemies. And
to cope with both, he has an efficient
public-relations policy.
The policy works out we'll because
it is projected through his sharp per-
sonality. He is one of the friendliest
men have ever met, and he has the
rare capacity of making commoner
feel at home in a palace.
1t was in a palace - Malacanan,
Manila's history soaked presidential
residence - that / met and talked
with President Roxas. I had arrived
a short time earlier in Manila, half
way mark on my trip around the
world as recipient of the Wendell
Willkie One World Memorial Award.
Roxas was in his vast office, a
quietly sumptuous, wood-panelled,
air-conditioned room. He wore a
plain, undecorated khaki outfit, shirt
open at the collar. and sat behind an
enormous desk.

1t is not unatural to think of

the horrors of war, and the
struggle which has just ened has
left all nations tired and broken

hand many saying there could not
be another major war at this time,
because of the conflict which has
just ended.
However it would seem from
the words of the Master that dur
ing our times wars would be one
of the major signs of destruction
among the nations.-"And We shall

come to believe that the Japanese
may not like war, but they have
shown that they are too easily led
into war by powerful leaders.
