PHILIPPINE

"Cleveland Democrat"

REVIEW

There already, is talk in Manila of changing the Philippine con- stitution, which has been in effect scarcely two years, in order to permit the re-election of the President for a second term. The Presi dent himself, however, is unequivocally opposed to the proposition. In a recent interview Manuel L. Quezon made this clear He has no thought of establishing himself as another Hitler or Mussolini. On the point of abandonment of the one-house Congress, however, the President was emphatic.

%

Discussing the dangers of a unicameral body and the advantages or a two-house legislature, he pointed out that the one-chamber sys- tem in the Philippines is by way of an experiment, and after two- years of it he had reached the conclusion that it had no place in democratic form of government in which republican institutions have been tried with satisfactory results. "His main objection to the present system is that.'s unicameral legislature" involves danger to the government in either extreme. If the chamber is easily control- lable by the Executive the system is reduced to a one-man show in which the Executive can do as he likes. If the chamber is not controllable, there is danger of chaos in the government resulting from differences between the legislature and the Executive. In 2. bicameral legislature, Mr. Quezon said, the system "of check and balances can be applied to advantage, and the danger of legislation being passed hurriedly or as a result of momentary passions is eliminatedTM

I

Impatient With Congress

Reading almost as if it might have been spoken by that ali-but- forgotten genus, the American "Cleveland Democrat." It is the easiest thing in the world to become impatient with Congress and to face- the infrequent necessity of parting with a President "who has managed to keep the country prosperous and reasonably contented. But the dangers of succeeding terms for the Fresident are more ap- parent than the attractions of the idea, and as to only one legislating gerous measures that have been stopped in time--but just in time. If it had not happened that the Senate could kill bills passed by the House, and vice-versa; and if the Supreme Court had not been sitting and exerting the authority to keep attempted staturs within constitutional bounds." the United States would long since have passed on into history.

white statement which intensifed Pasteur's daring researches into bacteriology.

Zola's defense of Dreyfus, which forms the core of the biography. predicates subletles of treatment and technique with which the photoplay has rarely grappled.

As it stands, the production fair- ly bursts through the limitations of the screen with its burden of thought and feeling. It might have been somewhat foreshortened and certainly the racial aspects of the Dreyfus case might have been handled more' frankly.

At the same time, it has voiced a challenging defense of Justice and truth that will not soen he forgotten.

Rewarding Defiance

The report from Davao that efforts to buy submission of defiant Moros, attempts to purchase peace by payment for a corta," have fall- ed is no surprise. The payment for a cotta only to destroy it is in no sense justice. The Moros, including those who would receive the money if the purchased-peace plan went through, know it. They know that if outlaws can build coltas and force the government to buy them they have the government forces on the ran

Regardless of who the outlaws may be, there is nothing more "important in dealing with outlaws than a strict adherence to the principles of all-around fairness and abstract Justice. That is why there is a natural tendency to sympathize with any who have turned outlaw because they honestly feel that they have not been treated fundamentally fair that fustice has been denied them.'

If the Lanao Moros who have been giving so much trouble re- cently, who have cost the government much in money and consider- able in lives, honestly feel that they are not getting a square deal from the government, if they are driven to outlawry because of their resentment against injustices, the solution cannot be found in buy- ing them off, which means putting a prize on their resistance by pay- ing, for the cottas they erect in defiance of the government.
