The Philippines are aimost cer7 -to become, once again, the sub- . Ject of heated debate and :far-
- Feaching decisions in Washington.
The precise naturg of the issue depends largely on the Filipinos them- ~ selves. But it is already pretty clear that the basic issue is whether or
not the American eagle is to con-
tinue to extend -a sheltering wing
over the islands after July 4, 1946. : Commonwealth President Manuel Quezon now frankly recognizes that the budding republic cannot hope to defend itself alone, “even though we should arm every male citizen.” He therefore suggests that President - Roosevelt negotiate a neutralization - pact with the other powers.
Wary of Guarantees
Many leading Filipinos, however— ~ Some openly, others privately—are skeptical of the efficacy of such a course. They have lost faith in paper guarantees. Poland, Memel, Czecho- - slovakia, Austria and China were _ all “guaranteed” by solemnly negotiat ternational pacts. ordingly, this faction—and it §s growing—is advocating “a reexamination of the independence question.” The Tydings-McDuffie Act specifies complete separation mn "1946, when the Commonweaih is to become a full-fledged republic. But the “re-examinationists,” increasingly doubtful of the wisdom of the move, are suggesting that perhaps a “dominion status,” under the Amerdcan flag, would be safer. A third group continues to advocate early and complete independence, “cost what it may.” These, at least on the surface and for the present, are in a majority.
“Learn ,Our Lessons”
Fresident Quezon stands somewhere between this latter faction and the “re-examinationists.” As a realist, he must. : As a realist, President Quezon must also be keenly aware of the danger. “We cannot,” he admitted last week, “overlook these lessons.” The attitude of many members of Congress is that the Filipinos demanded their independence and were given it. These'are inclined to wash their hands of any further palaver. Others agree with former

»1000,000,000 for the Army.
High-ranking Army officials already have urged a regular Army of 280,000 men, the complete peacetime authorization, and a National Guard: of 320,000 men, compared with the statutory 450,000 limit, to provide an enlarged. initial protective force.
Navy Seeks Limit
The Navy, it was believed, may seek to have its 145,000-man author-' ization increased to the full pesacetime limit of 191,000 men. .Offi‘cials contend that a, substantial personnel increase is essential to meet expanding naval activity created by the European war. Through Chairman Carl Vinson (D. Ga.) of the House Naval Affairs Committee, the Administration al-
seek approval of a new $1,300,000,000 naval expansion program at the regular session of Congress. In addition, Congress will be asked to vote funds in the regular Army Appropriation Bill forthe 1941 fiscal year surpassing the $773,000,000 provided this year. The $3,000,000,000 figure will be approached when Congress approves expenditures of nearly $1,-
President Orders Increases
President Roosevelt recently ordered the Army increased from 210,000 to 227,000 men, the National Guard from 190,000 to. 235,000 men, the Navy from 1.v,000 to 145,000 men, and the Marine Corps from 18,000 to 25,000 men. Those increases were directed under Mr. += | Roosevelt's order proclaiming a limited national emergency. Under the law, the Marine Corps is entitled to one-fourth the enlisted strength of the Navy, which, if raised. to the full limit, would bz 47,500 men.
