SPANISH TOUR BY CHURCH LEADERS

Roman Catholic Criticism

The Archbishop of Westminster (Dr. Arthur Hinsley), in his Trinity Bunday pastoral letter, criticises those leaders of religion who "have been so ready to make arranged tours of part of another country." "The accredited leaders of vari- ous religious bodles in this coun- try cry aloud for a recall of the nation to religion," he states, "and we have been asked by them to support their movement.

Before an appreciative audience at the St. Andrew's Church Hall last night Dr. J. H. Montgomery gave a very interesting lecture on "A Visit To Ball" followed by two films of great educational and en- tertaining value. The first one depleting the beauty and charm of Ball and the Balinese, whilst the second was a vivid re- "Yet we must declare that the cord of the local Coronation cele- brations showing the Combined invitation to join in the back-to-Gervices Farado at Happy Valley God campaign strikes a chill to the heart when we see how eager are

A group of photographs of the lecture in question was exhibited on a table in the front part of the hall, which also attracted much at-

tention from the audience during

the interval.

PHILIPPINE REVIEW

American-Philippine Relations.

The announced arrival of experts on American-Philippine rela- tions with President Manuel L. Quezon in August, intensifed pre parations among business and Industrial men who hope ably to prezent their case at public hearings to be held by the experts in Manila, according to reports published in that alty.

It was revealed at Malacañan last week that the legislative build- ing will be used by the experts for the hearings.

It is believed that Francis B. Sayre, chairman of the American experts will be invited by President Quezon to be his guest at Male cañan. Press dispatches, reported that Mr. Sayre will accompany the committee.

Sugar men apparently are convinced that they should unite in order to present their case. Some of them expressed the opinion that whether the Filipino people like it or not, independence is com- ing in a year or two and that the sugar people should "make the best of it."

3

As it is known that the committee is willing to hear divergent: views regarding Philippine-American relations, freedom of express- ing individual views is generally encouraged, particularly with re- ference to the Avanceña-Mirasol outspokeness for the continuation of the Commonwealth government.

Assemblymari Tomas Confesor said that the Filipino people.. should not "crucify" Amando Aranceña and Dr. Jose J. Mirasol for expressing their views regarding the Philippine government.
