STABILIZATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
7; : ni,,, in" to read the report of the Philippine’s
jr, j,no • , ;-j ■ >• li country is rapidly climbing out
oi ( oniic and moral doldrums in which it
f; !,o 1 i: oil . a ri ult of World War II.
Neri. undersecretary of foreign affairs for his
co lit completed a world-wide tour of Philip
p.r.e diplomatic mt.sions and consulates.
A i,e 'c.mmt of law and order and economic
conditions is being brought about through a new
aw. r lit.: among, the people of the Philippines that
11: v must work together, Neri said before returning
to liis home.
i: . good to near these things of the Philippines.
And v arc ure that Juneau’s iarge Filipino com
n. will be happ> to hear that things arc better
in itv ir former homeland.
These are the steps recently taken to which Neri
attributes the better times in his country:
1. Huk Communists have lost the otfensivc and
villages now are backing the government rather than
the rebels. Since they must now forage for food,
many of them are surrendering.
2. The government is aiding farm families by
setting them on the island of Mindanao.
3. Filipinos are regaining their honesty, lost dur
ing the war when it became patriotic to steal from
the Japanese enemy and collaborators.
Exports from the Islands are now leading imports,
tax collections are rolling in and the peso has at last
been stabilized.
The interest of the United States in the struggle
of the Philippines is great. Neri, who is his country’s
No. 2 man, recognizes the importance of the Philip
pines success to the United States because, he said,
"if we fail, your experiment in democracy in the Far
East fails with us.”
The Tree-Planter
(New York Times)
Some of the most heartening netfs novel- gets in
the headlines. It lack: drama, or exeat (**9PPr im
minent crisis. We are thinking of the quiet words
ol a man making an off-hand report from, pheasant
outpost which, should there be open war' be
what the military men call a prime target. Disease
has stricken the trees in that outpost, and for some
months this man has been planting new trees in his
spare time. "I hope,” he says, "by the end of the
year to have a thousand trees in the ground.”
They are not trees to provide food or cellulose or
camouflage. They are trees which, in another ten
or twenty years, will cast benevolent shade and make
a cool green pleasure for the human eye. Trees in
which birds will sing and build their nests, trees
under which youth may walk and age may sit, trees
that make the land more pleasant. They are young
trees, now, needing years to come to their maturity.
Most of them will outlive the man who planted them.
That ; : hi. hope and his purpose.
And there is the heartening aspect of all such
unheralded news. The man who plants a tree, or
even a perennial flower, has his eye on a tomorrow
when other men will look for beauty and for tran- i
quillity. His hopes exceed survival. He calmly ex
pret: a tomorrow that will include the major satisfac
tions ol today, and he is aware of such satisfactions
here and now.
It is possible that Washington and London and
Paris and Moscow and Peiping should be reminded,
from time to time, that there are quiet tree-planters
at work all over this world.
"When angry, count 10; when very angry, count
ICO.”—Franklin. And when “righteously indignant,”
count 1,000.

Willi-' Robert-.on of Virginia men
tion 11, a- Sen. Elmer Thomas was
unbind enough to do three years
a-:o when he threatened to expose
I : ,:i's famifc' interest in. Chry
sler ji.Ii. Ferguson quit investiga
ting him.
II ,v . Robertson, alert to catch
tl ; : .’.iificance of Ferguson’s
nnn (h nt, warned his colleagues
that it was “tailored perfectly to
incie i the price of automobiles."
'Thm this is a roll-up amend
ment," napped Clinton Anderson
of Me. Mexico. “If we want chaos
in pri.-c administration, this is the
ea iest way to get it I have ever
seen.”
Then, turning t*i Ferguson, the
N< v. M m o Senator observed: "II
applii' , rinmrily to the automobile
industry.”
I;, senator is correct,” admitted
I- , . i. “Why should that indus
try t ■ discriminated against?”
Tin p ..fits of automobile manu
laetur i were reasonably good,
wus they not?” Anderson shot
back, rcierring to the fact that
most 1 1 motor companies have
just celebrated their highest prof
it in history.
"Now we come to the secret. The
Senator wants to fix prices so as
to determine profits," angrily
thou” • the Michigan Senator.
Fe: axon had reason to expect
hi automobile amendment to pass
lit." o'Ju'i' pecial-interest amend
ment . log-rolled through in the
caily 1: ur of themorning. But it
wo defeated - with Michigan's
othr Senator, Elair Moody of De
troit, voting against it.
Peanuts and Milk
So: . r: Ed Thye, Minnesota Re
public.,n, and Warren Magnuson,
Waslii , .ton Democrat, also pushed
throe“h an amendment to freeze
dairy and peanut products at their
pi Hit high prices. But Senator
At uei. onto secretary of Agri
ct, nr ar.-i now the consumers'
most coo i tent friend, objected.
"Tia boil we are considering it
de i n ■ i to try to put ceilings on
pro i .' lie oid. "How is a measure
that v < i prevent prices from
dropp.u;' o; mane to a bill that it
try in- to put on ceilings?"
"That may have been true so fai
ss the original intent of the bill,’
carcu ’ ail interposed Senatoi
Doagla .. Illinois, another frienc
of the la i i wife, "But it is com
pli tely eppiopriai now, since the
price -control biil ha. turned inU
a bill to increase prices."
Howe ,er. Senator Thye, himsel:
a dairy fainter, defended the bil
on the grounds “It is necessary it
the general defense of our land.”
"I do not believe that the na
tiou 1 defense . roirr; to be jeo,
pardizc-d in the : li- hn t if we at
low a peanut from ome othe:
country to come into this country,'
snorted Anderson.
Cattle and Black-Markets
However, the dairy-pednut amend
n; pas.ed.
An>'er.son also tried to block ar
ati.' dment by Sen. Hugh Butler
Net ka Republican, weakening
tii ovornment's control over mea
. 1 : -i taring. Butler raises cattle ii
Nt-Li a, while Anderson raise:
cattle in New Mexico. But while
Butler has been the great champion
ol the cattleman—and his pocket
book interest—Anderson has voted
against his own pocketbook.
“The Butler amendment,” char
ged Anderson, “is a black-market
amendment.”
Tins Drongnt Senate majority
leader Ernest McFarland of Ari
zona angrily to his feet. Though he
is supposed to be the administra
tion spokesman, he supported But
ler.
"I resent the insinuation that
this is a black-market amendment,"
bristled McFarland. “I cannot per
mit him i Anderson i to say unchal
lenged that I am advocating a
black market.”
Later, Anderson read a telegram
to show that he was supported by
some meat packers.
In the final showdown vote, But
ler’s meat amendment passed over
whelmingly.
Children or SS
While the Senate voted for the
special interests, it voted against
the underprivileged, on an amend
ment offered by New York's gentle
ten. Herbert Lehman. Lehman, who
lost his son in the war, begged the
donate to “make it illegal for a
andlord to deny the rental of
housing accommodations to any ap
plicant solely on the ground that
ihe applicant has children.
No one dared to speak publicly
alnst Lehman’s amendment, but
he Senators shouted it down with
a chorus of “No’s.”
Finally, in the wee hours of the
morning, Michigan's young Senator
Moody put up a last-ditch fight to
trike out all the special-interest
amendments and salvage a good
price-control lav;.
"It is about time that the inter
■st (;f the consumers, of the Amer
can people, is considered ahead of
he special interests who hope to
profit by inflation at the public's
expense,” pleaded Moody.
Sen. Bill Benton, Connecticut
Democrat, agreed.
“Abraham Lincoln said there
.hould be a proper balance between
property rights and human rights.
However, that balance has been en
tirely upset in the past few days in
he course of the proceedings in
„his chamber,” Benton declared. “I
iUggcst that we had better begin
o consider how to reach the proper
balance between property rights
ind human rights. If we do not
Jo ,o, wc shall lose the cold war.
vVe shall lose it by losing the war
of inflation.”
But Sen. Irving Ives, New York
Republican, saw the handwriting on
ihewall. Ives has consistently bat
led for the consumer. So, at about
t a.m., he admitted defeat: "The
vote are against us, and there is
nothing we can do about it. Only
he tese of time can show that we
ire right and they are wrong. I
am willing to abide by that test.
. should like to have the question
come to a vote.”
The roll was called and the
’ Senate voted against the public, 59
to 22.

TONER RESIDENCE FIRE
NETS LITTLE DAMAGE
A small roof fire on the Felix
Toner residence, 408 Gold street,

MODERN ETIQUETTE Roberta LEE 1
Q. When a woman is introduced to a man, should she offer her
hand?
A. This is entirely optional, and she may do so if she wishes and
if she is sincerely pleased over the meeting. However, it is seldom done
—and the man should never be the first to extend his hand.
Q. When a woman is paying her first call on a new neighbor, how
Tong .should she remain?
A. From 15 to 20 minutes should be long enough. Usually a
woman who has just moved into a new home has plenty to keep her
occupied, and she might resent too lengthy a visit.
Q. May wedding announcements be mailed a day or so before the
j wedding?
| A. Never. They should be mailed immediately after the wedding.
