Bishops of the Catholic Church in the Philippines have passed a resolution favouring indepen- dence for the islands, it was an- nounced following the last neet- ing of the Independence Com mission. This action on the past | of the Catholic clergy is regarded as significant, since the Church has generally been regarded as decidedly opposed to all attempts to secure political separation from the United States The action of the Bishops, however, is entirely separate from the atti- tude of the friars who have large Property holdings in the islands and who are generally believed to be against independence.
The members of the Indepen- dence Mission have completed their work in the United States and will return to the islands shortly. The Mission met with a favourable reception by Chambers of Commerce and other or- ganisations in the large cities.

Indication of further interest on the part of the Japanese in the commercial and in- dustrial
possibilities of the Philippines is noted by the announcement received this week at the Governor General's Office that the category of the Japanese Consulate in Manila would be advanced to that of Consulate General, and that a Consulate would be established at Davao, island of Mindanao, where the Japanese have
