PHILIPPINE HEAD
MANILA, Oct. 2. (AP) President
Manuel Quezon tonight claimed the
'right and duty" to "arraign the
Philippine Judiciary at the bar of
public opinion." and credited Presi
dent Roosevelt with creating In a
similar manner a "wholesome effect"
on United States courts.
Quezon asserted it was his official
duty to criticize the courts "when
ever in my opinion a denunciation of
a wrongful act, even though per
formed In good faith, would be In the
public Interest."
Addressing the faculty and stu
dents of Santos Tomos University,
his alma mater, Quezon pointed out
that his oath of office required him
to "do justice to every man."
"Justice shall be done to the poor
and humble of this country." he
said, "as long as I am president. I
am determined to fight for the rights
of everybody, rich and poor alike, but
more particularly for those who have
no money with which to pay expen
sive lawyers."
