doorstep in the guise of a petition asking a new status| for the Islands short of absolute independence. Reports have. reached Washington that sentiment in the Philip- . pines is piling steadily up against cutting entirely | adrift from the United States in 1946, as called for under the Independence Act. The proposal of Assemblyman Jose Romero to postpone independence indefinitely, therefore, came as no surprise here. Significance was attached, however, to the ‘fact that a prominent member of the Joint Preparatory Committee, a politico high in the councils of the party of President Quezon, has seen fit publicly to air his convictions.
Many Doubtful of Plan
Many Filipino leaders, regardless of rank or political affiliation, have expressed themselves privately as doubtful of the wisdom of the existing independence plan, but mest of them have hesitated to go on record, as Assemblyman Romero did, before the National Assembly at Manila. Last March, | Salvador Araneta, member of the [Constitutional Convention and prominent Filipino lawyer, came here to testify before the Senate Committee on Territories and Insular Affairs. At that time he told me, for publication, he was convinced that if the United States should cut loose entirely from the Philippines some other strong power would move in. | “We must not forget,” he said, “that the world situation has undergone a startling change since the agitation for independence began. The League of Nations and other institutions which we hoped would make the world safe for democracy and protect the weak against the strong, have failed.
Fears Power Will Step In
“Today we must face the new and unwelcome fact that every small country must have the protection of some stronger country or be gobbled up. And the Philippines are not strong enough to preserve their independence in the world of today by their own efforts. “So, unless a way can be found to remain under American protection—like Cuba, for example, or like Canada and the other British ‘dominions under the flag of Britain— some other power will step in.” | Since March the world situation has grown worse instead of better. Nations bigger, stronger and with a larger population that the Philippines have been wiped from the map, and others fear for their existence. A second world war is on, the consequences of which no man can forétell, More than ever the fate of the Far East is in the balance,, Philippines and all.
National Assembly Convoked
Such is the background against which the members of the National ‘Assembly met in special session Monday at Manila. President Quezon had convoked it to consider
‘emergency measures to safeguard
Philippine the crisis. “We talk about the ignominy of slavery,” Member Romero told the Assembly. “We are not slaves now; we -are free in all but form. But we may yet| be slaves if we" refuse to recognize the logic of presentday events.” + Whether Mr. Romero agreed with Mr. Araneta/as to the future status of the [Islands apparently he did not say. What he did 'say, however, when asked what year he thought would be propitious for independence, was that he would leave that |“to some time in the future—indefinitely.” "What Washington’s reaction would be, if and when the people of the Philippines came with a petition asking for an indefinite postponement of independence, is problematical. Right now it would certainly meet with tremendous op-
Interests during

TERM FOR DEBATE}
WASH ror: seu Sept. 28 (U. P). —Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes said today that because he has “adjourned politics,” the subJect for his Oct. 5 radio debate with
Bl | Gen. Hugh Johnson will be “how
we can defend democracy in America” instead of the question of a third term for the President. The debate scheduled on the Town Hall program was arranged several months ago, Mr. Ickes said. When the European war started and political leaders agreed to adjourn politics, Mr. Ickes said he decided to put his third term speech away for future use.
