COMMENT OF THE DAY

THE

-Reuter.

Mutual Defence Treaty

United States - Philippines mutual defence pact, signed this week in Washington, represents an im- portant corollary to the Japanese peace treaty about to be concluded. Its pur- port is to help safeguard the South Pacific against aggression, just as the United States hopes to safeguard the North Pacific. by assuming respon- sibility for the Ryukyus and Bonina and to afford Japan added protection againat Communist expansionista by the retention of American troops within the main dsinnds. The US-Philippines defence treaty is brief and to the point. It is conceived within the frame- work of the United Nations charter. and specifically provides for. reporting to the UN Security Council any armed attack directed against either country and the measures taken to counter such an attack. The essential point of the treaty is contained in the first clause of Article. 4, which declares: "Each party recognises that an armed attack in the Pacific area on either of the parties would be dangerous to its own peace and safety, and declares that it would act to meet common dangers with its constitutional pro- cessos." An armed attack on either of the parties is deemed to include an armed attack on the metropolitan territory of either the United States or the Philippines, or on the island territories under their respectivé Juris- diotion in the Pacific, or on their armed forces, public versola or aircraft in the Pacific. Little is said in the text: of the treaty to indicate how it is Intended to implement the pact, Although Article 2 states that "In order, more effectively to achieve the objectives of this treaty, the parties separately and jointly by self-help and mutual aid will maintain and develop Their Individual and collective capacity

to resist armed attack." It will become the day of the Philippines to build up their defensive resources as much as is practicably possible, although sight must not be lost of the fact that the. Government at the moment is confron- ted with internal strife and disorders not eqally liquidated, while the nation's current economy does not lend itself to lavish expenditure on armaments. The expectation, therefore, is that the United States will have to make substantial contributions toward the maintenance of "collective capacity to resist armed attack" This will be ac- complished partly through América's. future defence programme and partly by assistance in the way of credits and materials for building up the defensive. of the Philippines. This resources treaty is a military alliance, but strictly limited to defence. Its purpose is expressly, stated-to make possible collective resistance to aggresalon in the Pacific. It is a pact that unfor tunately is necessary, yet its very existence may help to prevent aggres- sion. Later this month this treaty will take on additional substance by the signing of a similar pact between Australia, New Zealand and the United States, and with its conclusion America's defence, plan for the North and South Pacific will have finalised itself. Hongkong, apparently, does not enter into the guneral scheme, yet if any part of the Pacific should become embroiled in a conflict resulting from open aggression, it is impossible to soo how this Colony could, escape in volvement. The one consolation is that the free world has no Intention of letting the Pacific go to any aggressors ésumed by default; wherefore it
