Answer: What is independence, anyway? Albania, Austria and Czechoslovakia really had their "independence" terminated after the World war. As for Africa, Mussolinis Ethiopian conquest merely followed the precedent established by democracies. (2) Has Germany been aggressive? Answer: No, Germany has kept peace since 1918, compared with repeated U. S. Intervention. (8) Has any nation the right to wage war except in self defense? Answer: No, and certainly the U. S. did not enter the World war in self defense, which gives Mr. Roosevelt little right to speak of such matters. (4) Can world problems be solved via conference? Answer: Yes, theoretically; no, practically. Exam' pie is the League of Nation which the U. S. shunned, thereby admit ting the failure of peace by conference. Hence Germany followed U. S. example and left the League. For U. 8. citizens, biggest news of the speech was (1) a promise that Germany intended no invasion, (2) a supplication that President Roosevelt take the lead in world peace efforts. For British, biggest news was a very obvious bid for good will despite naval pact denunciation. Pestludc.

No one can even help to change conditions in a negative by dwelling atmosphere and harboring thoughts of war, hate, malice, depression, discouragement, discontent and fear. Man must make his thought positive and think peace, friendship, good will, prosperity, hope and faith. Do this and go about converting others to do it and you will be doing much toward making and maintaining a vastly better humanity and a much finer world. Believe in yourself. Believe in your fellows.

The politicians, the bankers, the insurance companies, the manufacturers and the whole business structure are sitting on top of a price or profit system bubble which. is suce to bqrst by 1942, when the whole fabric will fall in a heap of ruin, and unless Technocracy comes to the rescue practically all life in the cities will be destroyed. He predicted a major depression before the end of this year and another next year. These facts, he said are determined by the rise in productive power and the debt structure on one hand and the great decline in man hours and purchasing power. Technocracy, according to this and other speakers, is the one perfect and natural avBtem for saving the civilisation of North America. Their science leaves no room for guess work. It he maintained.

Given congressional assurance of early freedom, Philippine President Manuel Quezon hardly had time to exult before Japan turned Imperialistic, swaggered into China and began grabbing off every piece of unprotected real estate within Asiatic waters. Since Japs already hold a trong commercial position in Manila, moreover since even a U. S. Pacific fleet might not be able to hold the Islands gainst sudden attack, many Americans believe their nation should leave the Philippines before getting involved in war. Added impetus given by U. S. agricultures resentment over concessions to Filipino sugar. Sensing that the U. S. was anxious to pull stakes, Manuel Quezon last year appealed to President Roosevelt and won an administration-sponsore- d proposal calling for political Independence in 1948, the 25 per cent tariff being increased by " per cent a year until wholly effective in 1961. Since President Quezon will not be able to attend hearings this year, the bill is being tabled until next session. When he does arrive, Mr. Quezon will ba offered an even stronger deal which members of the Senate committee on territories and Insular possessions have already accepted unanimously, albeit secretly. The deal: If Filipinos will cut political ties with the U. S. in 1942, current 25 per cent tariff rates will continue until 1946 as under the administration bill. Then rates will jump 10 per cent annually until the U. S. washes Its hands of the whole affair in 1953. Still officially unannounced, the substitute bill (suggested by Maryland's Sen. Millard E. Tydinfi) has been hushed for fear Japan may sail into Manila Immediately. PER YEAR racy. Observers give German Busch a good chance of succeeding. Raving canceled the election, dissolved his congress and abolished constitutional guarantees on the plausible assumption that restive Bolivia does not deserve democracy at this moment, Colonel Busch is the world's first dictator to (1) invite "patriotic criticism of his regime; (2) reject his cabinet's resignation; (3) view Fascism and Naziism with pain," and (4) promise nn election five to eight months hence to let Bolivia decide its own destiny.
