s ECONOMI INDEPENDENCE

| Philippine President Expects

No Trouble With Japan.

BY HARRY FRANTZ United Press Staff Correspondent {Copyzight, 1936, by United Press) "Oct. 20.~Filipinos, in striving for . the independence of their islands, merely are trying to develop a country of greater economic independence, able to command the respect and good-will of the entire world, President Manuel Quezon said in ‘an interview today. “I do not think that we are headed for trouble with Japan,” the first chief executive of the new commonwealth told the correspondent during an audience at Mala-

.canan Palace.

“In the first place, we are not going to give Japan or any other country cause to interfere, because we will maintain peace and order and administer justice and peace to all who trade or live with us.

Expect No Trouble

“In the second place, we expect no trouble, because we are proving our earnest desire to become an independent nation. I do not think that Japan is looking for trouble with the Philippines. She has too much to do with her own affairs and Manchukuo.” I was the first house-guest at Malacanan, the President’s palace, since the commonwealth was inaugurated last year and the islands began their 10 years of political tutelage prior to final independence from the United States. While at the Philippine “white house,” I obtained this exclusive and intimate interview with President Quezon. He reviewed the accomplishments of the first year of the commonwealth and described the efforts of himself and the Filipinos to develop their country.

Passenger Travel Development

President Quezon asserted his readiness for a permanent special commercial relationship with the United States for the economic independence and improvement of the Philippines. Taking into account the trans-Pacific press flight of the China Clipper on which I arrived from the United States, Quezon said he believed passenger travel would develop rapidly by air now throughout the Pacific. He emphasized the importance of the Pan-American passenger plane service across the Pacific and said this would make people realize that Manila is now -barely a week from New York and Washington. I asked Quezon to chart in broad terms the course of Philippine political development to ‘which the

Hubert LeBlond (above) internationally known student of relief and soical work, is to address special gifts division workers of the seventeenth annual Indianapolis Community Fund campaign at Woodstock Country Club Friday night. Bishop LeBlond is bishop of the St. Joseph (Mo.) diocese of the Catholic Church ang former head of the Catholic Charities in Cleveland. He visited Indianapolis 18 months ago in connection with the reorganization of the local Catholic charities.

President replied that his views were indicated by the events of the past. year here. ; “By virtue of my position,” Quezon said, “I am entrusted with the duty of laying the foundations for the nation which we are building. “My first task was to fill the gap in the edifice the American government has been constructing here. That was defense. Consequently, I obtained the approval of a plan for our national defense. “Secondly, I obtained the passage of a law creating a national economic council to survey the resources of our country and to draw up a plan of co-ordinated. development. That shows we are preparing to stand on our own feet and avoid dependence on any one. “Thirdly, I sought a law empowering me to reorganize the whole government with a view to eliminating the unncessary red tape and thus speed up the government machinery and abolish the positions not required. I wish to simplify the government with subsequent econo-
