By EDWARD W. PICKARD Sen. J. H. Lewis 'COMETIMB between 1943 and 1046 J the American flag will be low ered In the Philippine Islands and the natives of the archlpeiago whom we have fos tered and protected since 181)8 will be left to their own re sources. The Unit ed States senate. following the ex ample of the bouse of representatives, overrode President Hoover's veto of the Independence bill by a vote of to "28. The argu ments against the measurei presented by the Chief Executive and based on the opinions of Secretaries Stlm on. Hurley, Chapln and Hyde, were rejected. Therefore the act will go Into effect, provided the Philippine Philip-pine legislature .accepts It within one year. Dispatches from Manila Indicate that It may be accepted, al though It Is far from being what e 'leaders hictb uesire. 1 nejr hs- sert that In passing it congress Is actuated by selfish motives, and In a way this was borne out by the argument of Senator James Ham ilton Lewis of Illinois In his argu ment in favor of the measure. " "The United States occupies the place of danger today," he said. "It la the most Imperiled of any nation In the world." He reviewed the grievances held against the United States by Rus sia, China, and Japan. He. predict ed that British Interests In the Ori ent and the French possession of Indo-Chinese territory would make them cold to any plea for. help should this country become1 In Tolved In a trans-Pnelflc conflict He claimed to see the formation ' of an Asiatic Monroe doctrine. and has submitted "a dozen messages" mes-sages" along that line, but has been opposed by leading members of the Democratic party; There Is no Indication that Mr. Hoover's message would spur this session to any commendable action. HAVINd re written the Collier beer bill so that It would allow the manufacture and sale of beer, porter, wine and fruit Juices with alcoholic contents of not to exceed 3.05 per cent, the senate Judiciary committee delayed action on It for one week. Although- the backers of the senate amended bill ex pressed confidence It would be re ported out In time for passage at this session, house wets expressed apprehension that the bottling up of the measure In the Judiciary committee might subject It to a fill buster by the drys.

Japanese military headquarters In Mukden claimed that the bombard ment was ordered after It had been learned Chinese troops stationed at Kalluhslen were planning to attack the town of Tungllao, which across the border In Manchuria. Gen. Hines "They will not come to America, aid the Illinois senntor. "We did not go to Spain. - We seized Cuba and the Philippines and told Spain m cuiiib nuu set iiem. wmte we "bold the Philippines, these nations may seize them at any time and fay to ;oat.Comeand get them. ; I place my defense of this measure," the senator concluded "squarely upon the defense of America." Senators Borah and Cutting, who , with eighteen other Republicans helped the Democrats to override - the veto, argued that the United states should redeem Its promise of Independence for the Islands. Prl vately( some of these Republicans had said they would vote for the measure because a worse one might be passed by the next congress though this seems almost Impos alble. Only one Democrat, Copelnnd or Hewjors. voted to sustain the reto, holding that congress has no constitutional right to alienate terrltpry once acquired. WHAT the nation thinks of the failure of congress to balance the budget was expressed forcibly . though politely by President Hoover In a special message which chldeu the legislators and urged them to bring about economies In govern ment and to adopt a low general ales tax. He warned them that Insolvency will follow If the bud get continues Indefinitely out of balance, for It Is a question how much longer the banks will or can carry the government by purchasing purchas-ing Its treasury obligations. The President proposed that the ales tax blanket all commodities except food and cheap clothing. Oe aid there -probably would be a deficit between $500,000,000 and $700,000,000 for the next fiscal year, even with jreduced appropriations. " unless new revenues are obtained. Since the President's criticisms concerning appropriations were aimed chiefly at the Democrat con trolled lower house. Chairman- Joseph Jo-seph W. Byrns of the appropriations committee felt called upon to reply "Was there anything more amai tag." said Mr. Byrns, "than that the President who has been .urging economies since the Democrats came Into control, should complain thnt maximum appropriations and economies econ-omies have not been adhered to? Do : Ire understand that he Is put In the position of saying that jvmgress should not attempt to reduce the e tlmates be has sent np here? That Is what the message means.

Tills is Millard Tyd , lugs -of-Maryland, who declared that If the Iluey Long filibuster In the senate sen-ate were tolerated much longer, and If his . resolution to cut more than a billion dollars from the costs of the government were not acted on, he would resign for the remainder V of ' ' the session' as a protest. He would begin his new term on March 4, having been reelected. re-elected. : "1 don't want my constituents," he said, "to assume thafTl condone or even passively accept what Is going on here, that 1 am Indifferent to the crying needs of this nation. Let some one else from Maryland come here to look on If he wants to." The Loulslnna 'Klngdsh" and bis radical, associates suspended their filibuster only long enough for the senate to vote on the Philippines bllL Then they resumed their ob structive tactics aimed at the Glas banking bilL The Democratic leaders, lead-ers, however, took the extreme Bier of filing a petition for cloture.

Senator Glass opened the vlalsot his sarcasm and told the 'Klngf8h," whnt he thought of him. Taking ex ceptlon to remarks by Long Implt eating that the Glass measure had. been railroaded onto the senate floor, the Virginia senator asserted the ImplHoh was as false as any ever uttered by any human Hps."

If necessary, Jn open court In an affidavit presented to the court Stillman's counsel charged the libel action had been brought "for the deliberate ulterior purpose of using and abusing the process of the court In a scandalous.
