The Masion went to the Unit- ed States to protest against the modified form of Independence granted the Philippines under the awes-Cutting Bill, and, in spite of the opinion in Manila that nothing could be done to improve the conditions of this BI, It was successful in obtaining the pasa- Ing of the MeDuffy-Tyding Law, which provides for full indepen- dence aflor a period of 10 years.
Mr. Quezon explained that the Islands will be granted Dominion status, with the estab- lishment of Commonwealth Government within the next 10 months. The officials and ment- bers of the government are to be Philipinos. Including the Chief Executive, and the United States, will be represented in the Islands by a High Commissioner.
The Constitution of the new Philippines Republic will be bas- ed on that of the United States, Mr. Quezron expinined, and, s far as is known at present, steps will be taken to establish an im- migration quota, for, at present, there are about 50,000 Chinese and 15,000 Japanese in the Islands.
Questioned about the American Sugar BI, Mr. Quezron stated that no harm had been sustained by the sugar trade in the Philip pines, and, if the United States gave them the quota of 1,700,000 tons, as promised, the industry should be able to flourish.

CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WE CANNOT AVOID-MAKE IT NECES- SARY for us to leave our present building in the very near future. We have therefore been compelled to make arrangements to dispose of the whole of our Stocks. This is not just a Sale in the usual sense of the word, BUT A DEFINITE SACRIFICE AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED. Prices are going to be marked down so LOW that COMPLETE CLEAR- ANCE will be certain. This means a CERTAIN LOSS to us, but at the same time, we shall be relieved of the necessity of finding storage space until we can secure other suitable premises.
THIS OPPORTUNITY BECOMES AVAILABLE TO YOU TO-DAY, and we wish to assure our customers that the quality of merchandise they have. secured from us previously, is exactly the same.
