BOOK REVIEW

Manuel Buaken, | Have Lived
With the American People, The
Caxton Printers, Ltd, Caldwell,
Idaho, 194S. $500.
In 334 pages Manuel Buaken has
written with deep sincerity about
his experiences in the United
States and among the American
people. The whole book is a faith
full portrayal of the typical prob
lens and perplexities that Filipinos
have faced in this country during
the last two decades. While the ex-
position of bare facts seem brutal
and biting, the honesty of their
presentation can not be questioned,
and the author has given signal
service to his people in expound-
ing with ruthless sincerity the
cause of his misunderstood people.
On the other hand, Have Lived
With the American People is
humble tribute to the generous
spirit of the American people and
the justice of their democracy. a
have lived with Americans, writes
Mr.. Buaken, land found them gen.
erous and strong for constructive
things. Even in the Philippines,
Americans have shown to me and
my people, the American habit of
taking the side of the underdog."
