FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES
Controversy In America
There is, however, one matter on which the whole of the' community would like to see His Excellency giving his earliest attention. We refer to the problem of our air communications. We have been
lagging behind when other Fowers have made rapid strides in this respect, and considering the im- portance of this Colony, we cannot arge too strongly the necessity of having Hong Kong linked up by air with China and the rest of the world.

Berlin, Des 11. “Where does ali ne money came from to pay for the economical reconstruction and National rear- mament?" was the theme of an address given by Count Schwerin Von Krosigk, held at the Berlia University before the Academy of Administration, when the funda- mental principies of the National Becialist policy was set forth in plain language.
The minister recalled the threat of financial catastrophe in 1923, brought about through currency infiation and reminded his hearers that with the advent of the Na- tional Socialistic Party to power in 1933, the situation was little better as the treasury and econo-, pals funds were without any re servis, and there were 6,000,000 unemployed.
