peatilence and bloodshed are raging. Our open policy has been more than seriously challenged. Our policy of freedom of the seas and freedom of the air Is in the balance. "And what of the Philippines? They have come to th* crossing of the roads. The events of the last i w<> years have given many thoughtful Filipino leaders an object lesson and food for thought Perhaps suddenly, but they hope not late, many have come to realise that Independence, however attractive from a spiritual viewpoint, may merely mean a trade of soverlgntlea . . . ‘‘The Philippines are sparsely populated and they are surround*<l with nations whose teeming millions are spilling over their national boundariea. An Independent Philippine government thus faces a very real threat of racial extinction. "Add to thia the question of Its ability to defend Itself from for-' eign military aggression and the eeonomic disaster attendant upon sudden loss of the America market. and you have the picture," McNutt said that American withdrawal from the Phlllpplnea would mean loss of “our voice In Oriental diplomacy," blocking of U. 8 trade in China and bring an unfavorable solution of freedom of the seas and air in the far east. "If we scuttle, If we run away." : he said, "our monument will be destroyed. The things we counted on. our aspirations to point the way to a new benign colonialism, our handicraft will perish. Our grandchildren will read a history which will apply to us the epithet ' "quilter"— u word which I* Just about the worst Insult In the lexicon of a true American."
