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.
