U.S. Urged To Fight "Double-Barrelled" War For Democracy
Declaring that the present war is not merely "a new chap ter" of the last Great War but a "revolution of nihilism," Herbert Agar, editor of the "Louisville Courier-Journal," in a speech to labour circles in New York called on the United States to engage immediately in a double-barrelled war against the dictatorships abroad and "indecent" living and working conditions in America.
"We've got to fight the war abroad and we've got to fight the war at home," he asserted, "because if we don't fight the war abroad we won't have time here to fight the war at home, and if we don't fight the war at home we won't have the will to fight the war abroad."
He added that unless "we pull | ourselves together and insist onj going forward with these two wars simultaneously," labour's j fear of government control and regulation very well may be realised.

Philippine Defence Shows Big Advance
BY ROBERT P. MARTIN (United Press Staff Correspondent) MANILA, June I (UP),—Thousands of United States Army troops pouring into the Philippines in the past three months, plus other thousands due to arrive here by mid-June, have given officials here greater confidence than at any time since Japan's adherence to the tripartite alliance.
Editorially, the Dutch press has pointed out that many items that were hitherto imported can be and are duplicated here. The papers admit that the quality of some locally-made products are not good as those from abroad, but the purchase of local articles will afford additional cargo space. for defence shipments.
Because of their educational value, books and magazines from England and newsprint paper from the United States are to be excluded from possible government measures cur-. tailing imports-
Toys and clothing are among the banned products. The move will en courage home industries, giving them their "life chance," say economic experts.
People Co-operate
United States forces in the Philippines have been more than doubled in the past three months. Best estimates three months ago placed the number of American soldiers between 4,500 and 5,000 men.
