Pledge Redeemed
Secretary Coe dwelt upon the
early American regime in the Is
lands and the pledge of Independ-
ence under President Wilson
which was redeemed under Pres
ident Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
with the passage of the Tydings
McDuffie Act in 1884. That
pledge, he said. was fulfilled on
July 4, 1916, when the American
flag-the flag of American sover-
eignty-was hauled down and the
red, white, blue and yellow flag of
the Philippine Republic was raised

eve must never forget Bataar
and Corregidor and the battles
which the Filipino people fought
for our cause. for the restoration
of American sovereignty, even af-
ter the American flag had been
hauled down in defeat"
The Washington stateman
stressed the need of unity in the
face of asdangerous alien theology,
which today threatens the peace
and security of the world. The
unity and mutual helpfulness that
underlie Philippine-American re-
lationship constitute a pattern of
defense for the entire democratic
world" Mr. Coe said.

Panagra Seeks Braniff's
South American Assets

Pan American Grace Always
(Panagra) today offered to pur-
chase the physical assets used in
South America by Braniff Air
ways in exchange for SIS million
in stock.
The offer would eliminate
Braniff from competition for the
airline business in South America.
Panagra is owned equally by
Pan American World Always
and the w. R. Grace Steamship
Co. A civil antitrust suit was
filed in January by the Justice
Department to attempt to force
the two companies to divest
themselves of their Panagra
stock. This case still is pending.
The assets Panagra wants to
acquire are four DEG planes
and ground facilities. Braniff
would receive, under the pro-
posal, approximately 1880
shares of Grace stock and ap-
proximately 217.000 shares Of
Pan American stock or cash in
lieu of stock to the extent
Branid might elect.
