Lands And More Lands

Members of the MacMurray survey commission are reported as nighly impressed with the hardly-scratched possibilities of Mindanao. If they will take the trouble to" consider these possibilities against the background of agrarian unrest which is sufficiently serious to force the government to adopt a far reaching programme of purchasing of large estates for resale to tenants, they will start to gel at the root causes of one of the most serious of the economic problems of the Philippines. When the government has thousands upon thousands of hectares of fertile lands awaiting distribution and development, why is it necessary to buy more thousands of acres to, sell to tenants to keep them safely satisfied? What is wrong with the economic ploneering programme? Why do not the tenants who pre dissatisfied on the large estater of Luzon go to Mindanao where lands of amazing tertility await development? What's wrong with the system of distributing the thousands of acres already owned by the government without the necessity of spending millions for the purchase of more thousands of acres?

ז'

The answers to these questions should have an important place in any thorough survey of Philippine economics.

These questions are not raised here to suggest that the land purchasing plan is wrong under prevailing circumstances. If the un- rest is anything like as serious as officially reported, something has to be done. Large estates operated on the tenant plan constitute a source of danger to any country. There is reason for the government to act.

But also there is reason for the government to do some serious thinking and effective acting in connection with the tardiness of development of Mindanao. It is time that the foregoing questions. be taken seriously.

Filipino Prospects

A gloomy picture of conditions to follow in the Fhilippines : the present preferential trade relations between the islands and the United States are ended, is drawn by the Foreign Trade Association. Twenty-five years of free trade between the United States and the Philippines have built up special conditions that must collapse The United States now when the preferential tariff relations end. has the Philippines market. It would lose this to some rival, un- named by the Association but doubtless Japan.

On the other hand, because of the open market in the United States for their agricultural products, the Filipinos have attained a "standard of living higher than any other peoples of the Orient With this free market lost and faced by tariff walls everywhere in the "Indeed, it is," replied Mrs. Skees, world, the Filipinos will sink back to their state of forty years ago.. her voice ringing with pride.

It is very difficult to under- stand the mentality of a nation which can swallow that sort of stoff, but apparently it has a very definite appeal in Japan. A surface appeal, at any rate. But as the statement by Japan's Prime Minister grows so does its twist away from the straight path of truth increase. Thus, China has not only refused the friendly hand extended by Japan, but also resorted to an anti-Japanese policy."

What happens in the Philippines has a special. interest to San Fräncisco, which "has reaped large benefits from trades with the Is- lands since the American occupation.
