that feeling is so high against the Japanese, guilty of the gross- est barburism, that it would be safe to say that scarcely one great Power has any sympathy for the Nipponese.

Filipinos Wake Up

"President Quezon, of the Philippines, who for many years bas insisted upon the independence and sovereignty of the islands, hav- ing attained his end through the passage of the McDuffle-Tydings act, which goes into full force and effect in about nine or 10 years. is now not so anxious to out the ties with this country and take to the rolling deep of international politics.

He has begun to doubt the expediency of complete and imme- diate independence. What he now wants is autonomy under Ameri- can protection. He wants to have the Filipinos Independent, com- pletely self-governing, no longer under any restraint, but at the same time safeguarded by American warships and the moral force ef this country." He is against any interference but in favour of plenty of protection.

Long ago Theodore Roosevelt declared that the two things were incompatible. If the Philippines were to be cut adrift, he rightly This country could not Insisted, they must row their own canoe. afford to let them carry on their own affairs without the slightest semblance of control, and at the same time lean upon America for support in every emergency

Mr. Quezon has his wires crossed. "He must accept one born of the dilemma or the other. He cannot achieve complete Indepen- dence and at the same time claim the rights of a ward. The United States would be guilty of the greatest folly to accept such a situation.

Long ago those most competent to judge foresaw that the Filipines could not stand alone, and opposed the bill that was finally passed. Now Senator Tydings, co-author of the measure that granted independence, having visited the islands, expresses the view that it was a mistake to enact the legislation. He believes that the Phi- Lppines will become the prey of Japan.

It is an accepted fact that only when a nation is afraid of an- other does she seek to undermine her position as an honourable nation, and so we have Mr. Soho Tokutomi, the Japanese historian and writer say that singe the outbreak of the North China affair "the British people have been growing piteously nervous. They have been in dulging in utterance which may well be described as hysterical. But for the fact that we have long since become used to wild statements from Japan and her accredited spokesmen, we would perhaps be a little annoyed at this amazing allegation, coming as it loes from a man, who is coputed to know what he is talking about, but little "Soho." like the rest of his countrymen.

It is only mad-dogs who have no sense of humour.

Going back to the Japanese protests against the Geneva re- solutions, it seems futile for them to hope, even for a brief moment, that anybody will give their protests any credence. A visit to the hospitals in the affected areas in China will show that the wards are full of inno cent civilians. Perhaps in the course of time the Japanese pro-manent nature.

The first task faced by the council was to listen "patiently to score of leaders of organizations of jobless expound their views on how to provide work for the unemployed. The meeting ass(m)- ed the nature of a public hearing "during which members of the committee and spokesmen of the unemployed exchanged views on ways and means of meeting the problem.

After a two hour discussion, the council adjourned and will meet thereafter every week until some concrete plans are formulated whereby the government can minimize if not entirely solve the social, difficulties created by unemployment throughout the country.

The views advanced by the leaders of the unemployment as90- respect to proposed ciations were more or less haphazard with solutions and, according to Dr. Fabella, did not quite tally with the Ideas of the council.
