The Backbone Is Wobbly THE FACT OF WAR ERASES THEORIES If faint folks form the Ihi klame of America, that haikbone is: pretty wobbly physieally. After nmlung a health survey 'of 11,947 farm men. voiacn and 'children, the U. S department of agriculture announced that 96 per eut of the ihtsoiis examined had significant physical defects. For the gioup a.s a whole, the number of physical defects averaged three and one-haperi per-; A few years ago there was a wide tLl ferenee of opinion in the United States about the Philippines. Many people believed the United States should withdraw' and let them take their chances with Japan. Like so many of the opinions we laid a few short months ago, such a belief has now' gone up in smoke the smoke of bombs over Manila. It would have been one thing to withdraw of our own free will a few years ago. It is quite another thing to be kicked out by the Japanese. It would have been one thing for an indejendent Philippine state to fall to Japanese aggression. It is quite another for a Philippine commonwealth under direc t United States protection to fall victim of a ruthless aggressor. Whether it is possible to hold the islands against the present attack is a military question, and the answer is being rapidly hammered out on the swaying battle lines north and south of Manila. But this thing is certain: if the worst happens, and the Philippines are lost, the honor of the United States is pledged to regaining them, cost what it may. For JO years the United States has stood on its pledge that some day the Philippines should he free and independent. It is not going to back down now. Our relationship to the Philippines is unique in colonial history. We did not seek them. They came to us as a sort of byproduct of the Spanish War. When the shooting was over, we immediately set up civil government, sent teachers and administrators to strengthen it. Within 20 years almost all civil servants of the islands were natives. Within 30 years the Philippines had been made a free commonwealth with an elective president and legislature. More than half the jxipulation today is literate, and practically all of the 37,000 teachers in 11,000 free public schools are Filipinos. A high degree of tolerance between its Moslem, Christian, and pagan residents has been achieved. Agriculture, industry, and trade have flourished. All this has not been done to ripen a plum for lf son.

WASHINGTON Many sage requoted in the marks still aie of Winston Churchill, and oru iJ the most significant was m ide to friends in regard to future allied strutevy against Japan.

Churchd! replied: "The Japanese have been eating all ovi r the lable They have big appetites and for the time being there may be nothing much we nn do about ,t Bu' sooner or later we shall turn over the table." This strategy of turning over the table, in nth r words directing a move at the main islands of Japan tl eniselves. is something which has always been in the hooks of the a r plans experts. However, the American public may have to reconcile itself to more discouraging news from the south before allied strength Pacific reaches a point where the table can be turned. General Mar Arthur's situation in the Philippines has been compared with that of Agmnuldo, the Filipino guerilla leader, who kept American forces at bay for two n years after the r, war.

The fact is that the only kind of a Pacific world in which the Philippines can safely be independent is the only kind of a Pacific world which can be free of a constant threat of war for the United States anyway. When the president gives the solemn pledge of the United States that Philippine independence will be established and protected, he has the nation behind him. In this, as in so many other matters, Japan has wiod off the slate such differences of opinion as have existed. In this, as in so many other matters in which we once had or thought we had a choice, the ugly fact of war has left no choice. This, too, must be seen through to the bitter end. - These findings throw an entirely different light on the pa lure that all farm The survey people are husky. shows that years of poor diet and low income take their toll in rural health.
