Long Island for a home without

hostile.
Whether residents of New York S

be seen. The location, between
Forty-second and Forty-eighth
streets (only three-tenths Of a
mile), and running q short block
from First avenue to the East

for such an enterprise.

it will improve the physical ap-

dent of the Swear old independent
Philippine republic to visit the
United States. but the importance
Of his visit does not lie in that
fact. He comes to Washington as
the most prominent anti-Com-
munist leader Of Southeast Asia.
Only q few months ago Quirino
was little known In world councils
and even in countries neighboring
the Philippines. BY accident of
death he had been elevated to the
presidency and was conceded gen.
orally to have no chance of sue
ceeding himself in 1919. He did
not have the popular appeal of
his predecessors-Manuel Quezon,
Sergio Osmena and Manuel Roxas.
Furthermore he had inherited gov
eminent scandals of the Roxas
regime but not the powerful Roxas
political organization.
Tried to End Civil War
After nearly two years OF fighting
the Hukbalahaps of Central
Luzon, who since the end of the
war refused to recognize the
authority of the Philippine gov
eminent and continued their war
time depredations of cities, towns
and even barrios for the main pur-
pose of driving away landowners
whom they hated, President Roxas
died suddenly in April. 1913. He
died few hours after delivering
a stirring address against world
communism before American
troops.
Quirino's first move as Presi-
dent was an attempt to bring
about an end of the civil war
in Central Luzon peacefully. He
