PUTS AMERICAN INTERESTS FIRST
the future calls for national align= ments along the lines of good will, of tariff agreements, tradę advantages and the considerations which make up the warp and woof of the ties between peoples, the interest of this country will always rate first in the consideration of the Philippines."
MAN OF MANY ACTIVITIES
It was as n. patriotic citizen rather than as an oracle of his country that Quezon spoke in his final interview before starting the long journey to Manila. It was early in the morning, but he was the centre of a beehive of activity. His suite presented a scene that called on every resource of the quick, eager energy Leon Gordon so vividly recorded for posterity in a recently completed portrait that Quezon is taking across the Pacific with him.
He talked while posing for a sketch, "You'll have to sit there," he pointed, so the artist can go on working, too."
In an adjoining room, hls reti- nue of secretaries and aides buzzed busily. From time to time one would make his appearance to put a tersely answered question to Quezon.
"I am leaving for Manila firm in the belief that the forthcoming inauguration of the Philippino commonwealth will inaugurate a new era and a new relationship between your people and mine that will surprise the great nations of the world by its accomplishment," he asserted.
SEES FUTURE AS UNCERTAIN ·
Regarding the political future of the islands, he would only say: "Events shape and reshape them- selves with startling rapidity in the Orient these days. A year or two may produce results and rene tions that no mind could to-day be
expected to forcenst."
As he journeys westward there echoes his heartfelt appreciation for the Island's independence!
