Philippines Demanding Futl
Independence More and
More Vigorously
Br E. W. HOSKINS
(.UMdatfd Press Correspondent)
MANILA (AP) A growing
spirit ot natloaalism bu become
inereaslBgly notleeable la the
Philippines.
One of the outstanding eviden
ce of this was the strike in watch
3.00 nigh school students partic
ipated to forceche dismissal ox an
American teacher. They accused
her of baring Insulted the Fili
pino people, won theh- point and
obtained ber dismissal from the
. service.
To older Filipinos, the striae
was a revelation. One said that
-when he was a student he and his
classmates took, what they con
sidered insults and never even
thought of protesting, much less
striking. He attributed the walk
- oat not to a greater degree of as-
sertjveness on the part of present
day. youth, but to a greater ten
dency en the part ttf Filipinos to
think in nationalistic terms.
Other evidences of the growing
national feeling include an at
tempted boycott of American cig
arettes, a move to obtain the ap
pointment of a Filipino as vice-
governor general, nww that Ka
li; ne A. Gilmore has resigned, and
ti.e recent Philippine indepen
dence congress.
The cigarette boycott is still in
progress. A Filipino seen smoking
an American fag is asked by
those supporting the boycott to
throw it away. If he refuses, he
is assaulted. Numerous such cases
have occurred, but no Americaas
have been molested.
The agitation for a native vice
governor is not new; political
leaders have long aspired to have
a Filipino in that post. But a new
and nationalistic, argument has
been added that a Filipino
ould be Just as good for the post
rs an American. Heretofore, their
cliief argument has bees, "If you
wish us to learn to govern our
selves, how are we going to do it
if you keep us from prominent
positions in the government?"
The Philippine Independence
roegress was called primarily' to
demonstrate that the Filipiae peo
ple is united ia the desire fori in
dependence. Although the speech
es at the congress showed no rad
ical attitude toward American
sovereignty they disclosed that the
Filipino leaders would rather see
their country a poor one, but pad
dling its own canoe, than a pros
perous one under an alien power.
These displays of nationalism
folhjw in the wake of the anti
Filipino riots In California, the
efforts to restrict the entry of
duty-free Philippine products in
to the United States, and the ef
forts to stop Filipino immigration
to the United States.

coast for eight months, subsisting on bear and seals they shot. Purpose of the strange
expedition was to study Arctic currents and feasibility of subsisting on the floe's natural
food supply. Knight is pictured in inset. Standing beside Marquette sedan which brought

liberality of the Americas admin
istration. Under the Spanish, na
tives were constantly told of the
uncomplimentary views the Span
iards held toward them and any
sign ef protest was dealt with se
verely. Today, Filipinos are lim
ited ia the freedom of their speech
"only y the laws en sedition and
criminal libel, while their acts are
limited only by the laws against
violence. This enables them to ex
press themselves freely as Filipinos.

Bosphorus and 4 Black Sea

PARIS AP ) How water
freight routes, using canals and
rirers affect the inland commerce
of Europe and also tend tcr divert
freight from the orient to Mar
seilles Instead of sending 1 1
through Basphorous at Istanbul te
Black Sea ports, was one xf the
things explained to Walter XL
Edge, American ambassador, in
his study of the economic struc
ture ef France.
A tunnel from Marseilles to the
River Rhone, that coat 160,000,
OM francs ($Mc,000) and was
inaugurated last y&ar. Is one of
the chief means relied upon to
make the French city the success
or of the dead and decaying port
of Istanbul.
But that the French are not to
gain and hold this commercial ad
vantage without a struggle has
been made clear by announce
ments of various other projects,
connecting the Danube with the
northward flowing rivers of Ger
many the Oder, Elbe, Wesser,
Main and Rhine.
One of the most ambitious of
these projects has been proposed
by Czechoslovakia. It would tap
the Rhine at Bratislava just east
of the Austrian border. Running
north to Prerov, it would there
branch, sending one arm north
eastward to the Oder and the oth
er northwestward to the Elbe at
Pardubice. The first braneh would
give access to the Baltie at Stett
in; the other would reach Ham
burg at the meuth of the Elbe di
rect and, by means of Germany's
'Mittlelaad" canal, would give
access to Bremen' and Rotterdam.
Then there are 'German plans
to connect the Danube and the
Main, via Ratisbenne: also the
Danube and the Neckar. ria Ulna:
to say notainf of another ambi

torial nomination over Senator
Charles 8. " Deneen.
" " Conferees of her father,' Mark
Hanna, ''the president, maker,"
held a "lady! had no business vot
ing or running for office.
And Ruth Hanna McCormick is
a lady if environment and edu
cation and wealth are measuring
sticks.
She was born into wealth, edu
cated in select schools, married a
wealthy man of prominent family.
Her farm with its rich acres,
its blooded cattle, its baronial
home, is near this village, not
many miles outside the bustling
Industrial city of Rockford.
Farming is Mrs. McCormick's
vocation, but she does not spend
much time on her farm. She owns
a newspaper ta Rwckford and her?
financial Interests are extensive.
In ItOS she mar. led MedUl Mc
Cormick of the famous' Chicago
newspaper publishing family. He
was a senator from 1929 to 192K.
Deneen defeated htm tor re-nomination
and McCormick coon died.
Mrs. McCormick learned to
speak in pubUe daring years she
advocated child labor legislation
and legislation for women. She
was ia progressive headquarters
during the Roosevelt rebellion.
She spent a term as republican na
tional committee omaa. In 1928
as a candidate for congressman at
large she ran away from her field.
Mark Hanna's daughter Is as
thorough in organicatioa as he
was, and more capable as a stump
speaker. She has vitality and en
ergy incomparat; with her slen
derness. She can bandy words
with a heckler, and is as much at
home talking to the tenement
crowds as addressing the small
town audiences.
She makes several speeches a
day and corers every county. Mrs.
McCormick retains remarkable
freshness during the campaign or
deal. She keeps the nose powder
ing and the hair fluffing from the
crowds..
Campaign styles for her are tai
lored suits, usually of tweed. She
