友之國中

Fixing the date in December might suggest to some that the idea was to put it on as long as possible. That suggestion is the more pointed as result of the unwisdom of postponement at all and the fallure to do sooner what is being done now in regularising the election procedure. However, the practical fact is that the date Im- medlately before the close of the official year is the best from, the official point of view and also the weather in December is as good a4 It can be exnected to be, at any time of the year, which means that the voting then should be as heavy as it can be at any time. The December date as a regular and permanent time is practical.

Anxiety In Philippines

High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt. in his first public address in the Philippines, stressed the possibilities or strife in the various parts of the world. "The forces of order in the world are still more powerful than the forces of chaos," He said. "But only if they are united. The question as to whether there is to be war or peace in Europe, in Asia or in Africa will depend, therefore, on whether the strength of those who wish peace is or is not unquestionably greater" than the strength of those who might gamble on appeal to force."

Some among the Filipinos are not much, cheered by the prospect

TPS of relying on "moral unity." They are becoming fearful of what may happen to them when American battleships leave Manila and they are left to their own devices. They are not unmindful of what has happened to their Chinese, neighbours and to Abyssinia. The Philip- oine Magazine for June says the proposal of our State Department to enter into negotiations with other nations for an agreement to "neutralize" the islands "was not greeted by loud cheers in the Phlilp- pines." Continuing. that magazine says:

As the time approaches for carrying out the promise to get out of the islands and turn the government over to the natives, the dim- culties involved are becoming more apparent to the Filipinos them- The business leaders and more thoughtful among the populace were not for independence. Men like Quezon and others appealed to the masses for freedom, and now even the masses are beginning to realize what has been done for them. Freedom will not mean what they suprosed it would trol. provided they can continue to control.
