Voting for the District 6 direc tors will be held at two polls in the extensive district the gym nasium at Central Point high Philippines Republic in No Danger of By Gen, Carlos P. Romulo written for United Press Washington, June 17 (U.R) The Philippines republic is in no danger of collapse' today but is bravely and consistently pulling itself out of the deep morass into which it was plunged by the war and the Japanese occupation. The Philippines, as part of the ailing two-thirds of the world and because of its proximity to the shooting war in Asia, faces serious problems. But American press reports that the govern ment is near collapse are at worst fantastic and at best ex aggerated. No Power Seiiure As far as I can see, there will not be any seizure of power by a group of well-armed dissidents in the Philippines whose original battle cry was for agrarian re forms but who have since shown themselves to be partisans of the communist movement that is sweeping down to southeast Asia from the north. Neither do I believe there is any imminent external threat to the Philippines, regardless of what happens to the Chinese Nationalist forces on Formosa unless the situation should spill over into a global conflict. I have lived in the United States for a long time and I have been a journalist for more than 20 years. As a result, I can un derstand how such reports, read in the context of a world in crisis, may sometimes assume a character of exaggerated alarm. Frequent Visitor But I have been a frequent visitor to the Philippines during the past four years and I have just returned from there after acquainting myself with local conditions even more intimately than usual as secretary of for- school and the gymnasium at the Gold Hill school. Ballots may be cast from 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. (DST) at both polls. It had been planned previous ly to open bids Monday on con struction of the district's new school, but Superintendent H. P. Jewett said yesterday that the bid opening has been postponed until Saturday, June 24, at 3 p.m. Rural School Districts School districts outside Med ford. Ashland and Central Point are known as rural school dis tricts. In addition to naming di rectors for their own local boards, many of the districts will also elect directors to the rural school board and the non high school board. The rural school board is a taxing body set up to administer and levy a county-wide equal ized tax based on the combined budgets of all second and third class districts. Its functions are limited to fiscal matters and it has no authority over other school matters. There are two vacancies on the rural board to be filled at tomorrow's election and only two candidates have Collapse eign affairs in President Quir ino's cabinet. I wish to assure our friends in America that the present gov ernment is in no danger of col lapse. We have had our share of corrupt government officials, but this should be no cause for won der. And, as in this country, we take credit for the fact that such abuses have not been hid den or condoned but have been exposed freely to public con demnation and to severe and swift penalties. Under Criticism The government is under con stant criticism. This is because our press is free and public opin ion untrammeled. We have no censorship of any kind and President Quirino has pledged that there shall be none so long as he is president. Much of the criticism arises from an impatient call for swift action from a people who have lived through danger and chaos for four years of the Japanese occupation and through four years of painful reorganization after liberation and who, per haps, are entitled to feel im patient. We have rich natural re sources, some of our export products are in heavy demand in the world markets, and, un der normal conditions, we would have rebuilt our war-ravaged economy in a much shorter time than it will take us. People Cooperating But the public was not born in a world where it was easy to return to normal peacetime pat terns. However, the great bulk of our people, realizing the perils of this alien lrteology, are be ginning to cooperate more ef fectively. The Philippines need help from the United States and from other friendly nations. But it is not so desperate that it will pay any price for such help. The suggestion, which has been made by some of our so called "friends." to the effect that the United States should return and resume its sovereign ty over the Philippines, is gen erally looked upon by our peo ple as unAmerican. If our friends in America really want to help us, they must do so under just and honorable conditions which will enable the Filipino people to remain what they are today America's best and most loyal friends in all of Asia.
