PROSPECTS OF EARLY LIBERTY JAR FILIPINOS
They're Not So Sure Now It's Best to Rush Separation From U. S.

have ever been treated so generously. We are as competent to govern ourselves now as we can possibly be eight years hence. The conditions for an amicable severance of relations are more auspicious now than they may ever be again. “Philippine-American harmony is complete today thanks to the considerate and tactful co-operation of the three preceding governorsgeneral, Stimson, Roosevelt and Murphy. But under actual test, the terms of the independence act are proving surprisingly capable of creating irritation. One high commissioner, even a man of the highest character, if lacking in sympathy or understanding could create a most unfortunate clash and end on a jarring note one of the most unique and altogether creditable relationships ever recorded. Must Part Smiling “If the United States and the Philippines must part company eventually, it is much better for each of us to leave the other smiling when we say goodby. Thep robabilities of a leavetaking under such conditions are better now than they may be later.” “What justifies that belief?” Quezon was asked. “Just this,” was his reply.
Mr.
“The
United States cannot make a treaty |
with the Philippines while we are under the same flag. One congress apparently cannot bind the accion of a succeeding congress. Consequently, so long as we are bound by the present independence act, which we have no right or power to alter, the Philippines will continue at the mercy of any and every self-seeking group of lobbyists capable of logrolling a tariff or a commercial quota to our disadvantage.
“Already there have been half a
dozen radical departures from the conditions of the independence act. All of these have been at the expense of Philipinne interests. All have been made over of President Roosevelt. working under a treaty with the
United States, this disastrous chis- |
eling would not be possible. “I realize that we Filipinos have
States. Until recently but slight business leaders to the tremendous trade advantage you enjoy in the islands. A few relatively small commercial interests which feel they have been handicapped by the existing free trade have been more vociferous and politically active in Congress than the great business enterprises whose trade with us has been sufficient to raise the Philippines to seventh in the list of American export customers. “It is only within the past few months that the major American industries have given consideration to what curtailment of this great market will mean in the way of reduced American production and employment. Whether realization of the full implications of these trends will produce any repercussions in Washington remains to be seen.” “Are you, Mr. President, yourself convinced that independence will best serve the islands in the present state of world unrest?” the President was asked.

It is far too soon to despair of his idea. Some form of the Wilson idealism is the only alternative to international chaos, Mr. Baker said. “Perhaps we had a rather naive faith when we entered the World War that democracy would triumph on a world-wide basis and that the last pid of an autocratic government would be a closed chapter, that people would all automatically live in a free world. “We were disappointed.

PROPOSES LA GUARDIA "AS NEXT G. 0. P. CHIEF
By United Press EMPORIA, Kas, July 20.—Fiorello La Guardia, Mayor of New York, today was" put forward by William Allen White, Kansas editor and a Republican leader for more than a quarter century, as the next leader of the Republican Party. Mr. White, who played an important role in the Landon campaign, said in an editorial that the party needed a leader never before identified with G. O. P. factional politics. He outlined the qualifications of such a man, named Mayor La Guardia as his choice, and added: “When you have done laughing, remember how they laughed at Lincoln 80 years ago.”

By United Press SULLIVAN, Ind. July 20.-—Coro-ner Cecil Taylor reported today that | the explosion which killed 20 men i nthe Baker Mine near here last | Thursday started in two abandoned corridors in the mine near where the doomed men were working. After hearing 15 witnesses, Mr. Taylor said the roof caved in the two abandoned entries, bursting two wooden temporary seals and allowing a rush of gas to flow into the shaft where the men were working. In some manner, Mr. Taylor reported, the gas became ignited and enveloped the men with flames when it exploded.

for a price. The price is a concession to some of his views about New Deal policies. Preliminary negotiations already are under way and are expected to continue in the next day or two. The overtures to the conservatively inclined Vice President, who has frequently been outspoken at Cabinet meetings, indicate the pass to which factional warfare over the Court issue has brought the Administration only eight and a half months after the sweeping electional mandate of last November.
A Periodic Shift Again?
In essence, the turn of events seems to indicate one of those periodic shifts to the right which the President has made from time to time, a trimming of the sails to the howling blasts which have arisen so furiously over the court issue. Right now the Administration needs very much on its side, not only for his rugged fighting and maneuvering qualities, but also for his standing among conservatives, such a man as Jack Garner. What practical form the bargaining takes remains to be seen. It may lead to nothing concrete, but to an understandmg as to objectives. Undoubtedly it will include discussion of the Administration's labor policies, to which Mr. Garner has objected as giving the C. I. O. too much rope, and of further economies to balance the budget, which is a cardinal issue with the Vice President.
Behind Smash at Sitdowns
Mr. Garner was behind the sit-down-strike condemnation resolution which Senator Barnes (D. S.C) threw into the Senate some weeks ago. His hand also was seen in the attempt of Mr. Byrnes and the late Senator Robinson to require local contributions for Federal relief projects. Having mixed into those two situations and been checkmated, the Vice President went off to Uvalde. Everything now at issue. including the Supreme Court Bill the WageHour Bill, the farm Bill, the Housing Bill, the Reorganization Bill, is expected to be thrown into the pot together, considered, and some understanding reached within a few days as to just how much shall be attempted at the present session. Jack Garner will roll up his sleeves and get down to business with the President to see what can be done.
KANSAS ASKS ‘SANE, SENSIBLE’ MURALS
By United Press TOPEKA, Kas. July 20.—John Steuart Curry was asked today by the State Art Association to depict Kansas history in murals on the walls of the state capitol in “a sane and sensible manner.” Members of the commission were emphatic in asserting there would be no “outlandish characterizations” of historical state figures such as John Brown and Carrie Nation, no controversial paintings such as those of Thomas Hart Benton which aroused a furore at the Missouri capitol in Jefferson City and not “too much modernism.”
NEW FARM PROGRAM PRESENTED TO HOUSE
By United Press WASHINGTON. July 20.—Chairman Marvin Jones (D. Tex.) of the House Agriculture Committee, today introduced the Administration's new bill for a broad farm legislative program embracing production control, the ever-normal granary and expansion of commodity markets. The bill fixes cotton, white wheat, wheat other than white, field corn, rice and flue-cured tobacco, Maryland tobacco, tobacco other than flue cured, Maryland and burley as the major agricultural commodities.

Even if it did I can't see how the department can fix the specific amount of $7875.” The Welfare Board's request pointed out that under the 1937 law, the state would reimburse the county for half the county welfare administrative expense, or approximately $34, 466 of the total appropriation. “This would not result in any higher tax levy for the county,” the welfare department's request stated. “I can't see how we can appropriate additional funds without increasing the tax rate.” Mr. said.

“The Auditor's office does not want |
to do anything to deprive the aged and crippled children from getting their rightful benefits under the law, but we do feel that that the taxpayers are entitled to know about the additional expense of administration that is being charged them,” the chief deputy asserted. Thomas L. Neal, County Welfare Director, said a separate resolution will be prepared explaining all items of the appropriation. He said most of the items were merely reappropriations made necessary to conform with the law under which the State Welfare Department is to pay halt the administrative expense the remainder of 1937. “Although there is an increase in the budget of approximately $18,000, the refund of $34,000 from the State
Board will result in a net saving to |
the county of $16,000,” Mr. Neal | said. “Therefore, taking less funds | certainly will not increase the tax | levy.”

Roads to City Guarded
First reports were that the gunmen headed towards Indianapolis and State and City police there guarded entrances to the city, Later, State Police joined Clay County and township officers in encircling Centerpoint and a search of all roads leading out of the town. Two Federal Bureau of Investigations agents from Indianapolis hurried to the bank to obtain fingerprints. State Police at Indianapolis said the Ford V8 gray coach used in the robbery answered the description of a car stolen there last night. It was stolen from the SmithMoore Co. used car lot at 2016 E. Washington St. there. Company officials said inside the car were two license plates, 55-395. The last crime attributed to Al Brady and his henchmen, James Dolhover and Clarence Lee Schaeffer Jr., was the holdup of the Goodland State Bank on May 25 and murder of State Policeman Paul Minneman in in their fight.

North Side’s Truck Battle Area Widens
The “Battle of College Ave.” spread today as residents of numer ous North Side streets complained that trucks, banned from most are terial streets, were using the bye ways and creating safety hazards. Residents of Guilford Ave. Care rollton Ave. Winthrop Ave., Bioad= way, Park Ave, and Pennsylvania St. said the huge carriers were using these narrow streets since they were chased from College Ave. by a City ordinance. Pennsylvania St. residents have said they would ask the Council to pass an ordie nance to bar trucks. Trucking associations have come plained that the Keystone Ave, route which City officials proposed is unsafe. Meanwhile, Theo H. Dammeyer, chairman, called the first meeting of the Mayor's truck committee for . 2:30 p. m. today in the Safety Board offices. The group is to seek a new North Side truck route into the city. John A. Schumacher, Republican Councilman, today said he introe duced the ordinance banning trucks from College Ave. last Aug= ust “because several residents asked me to do so and there appar= ently was no opposition to the proe posal.” He said the Council acted on the assumption that Keystone Ave, would be suitable for truck traffic. City Engineer Henry Steeg told the Council that a WPA project was in progress which would put Keystone Ave. in shape to handle heavy vehicles, Mr. Schumacher said. Chief Morrissey. however, said he “told somebody who came to him when the ordinance was introduced that the bridges on Keystone Ave. would make truck traffic difficult.” The ordinance was referred to the Council's Public Safety Come mittee, which tabled it until Dec. 21, when Mr. Steeg reported that the Keystone Ave. project was nearing completion. During the four-month period when the ordinance was on the “table,” the Committee made no investigations “as a body,” according | to Mrs. Nannette Dowd, a member, The committee reported the ordi nance favorably at the Dec. 21 | meeting. A unanimous vote of the | Council, with President Edward B. | Raub absent, passed the ordinance | through second and third readings. It went into effect the first week in | January,
