THE GATE CITY JOURNAL, NYSSA, OREGON. es- 2ND MISSION COMES FROM PHILIPPINES Body Headed by Senate Presi dent Quezon Reiterates De mand for Independence. That the Filipino people are in earn est In their demand for immediate In dependence is indicated by the coming to the United States of a second Philip pine mission to work for independence. Coincident with tills announcement the j War Department received a cable from Manila stating that the all-Filipino los- isiature had adopted resolutions re iterating its plea for immediate Inde pendence. The second mission, like the first, is composed of the leading men o f the is- i lands and will work in the United States not only for Immediate inde pendence, but also to bring a b o u t “ bet ter understanding, greater confidence and closer economic relations between the United States and the Philippines.” The mission is again headed by Man uel L. Quezon, president of the Philip pine Senate, who is well known in America, having been for six years res ident commissioner to the United ln the islands. Senate President Que zon recently referred to Osmenn as “ the greatest Filipino since Rizal.” The personal relations between Os- mena and Quezon are probably without a parallel in modern politics. They have been the leading political fgures In the islands for 12 years, yet there has never been the slightest indication of rivalry between them. Throughout their college life us well as their long political service each has refused to be a candidate for any position that the other aspired to. During the years Quezon was the Philippine delegate in the American Congress he won the esteem and con fidence of both the Republican and Democratic sides of the chamber. Whenever he spoke he was sssured of a good attendance. One of the official short hand reporters once declared Quezon used the purest English o f any member of the House. Osmena, as president of the Nacion alista party, is the leader of the na tional movement for Independence.

Sew glo Osmena, Speaker of the Philippins House of Representatives and Vice President of the Council of State, are the leaders of the Naclonallsta party, which has been in power since 1907. While Speaker Osmena Is not so well known In the United States as Quezon, he Is considered one of the ablest men no Journalist, now in America. “ A very conscientious and tireless worker, thorough and persistent, a genius for grasping the big features ns well as the smallest details of public affairs, cool headed, quiet by temperament and education, a deep thinker, an eloquer* speaker, a polished writer, a keen ob server of men—such is Osmena.” Both Osmena and Quezon hnve bees consistent advocates of Philippine In dependence, yet when the occasion de manded it they have never hesitated to champion the cause of America's good Intentions toward the Filipino peopla. Pull Together for an American Merchant Marine The war resulted in the creation of a great merchant marine— 10,000,000 tons of American ships which cost us $ 8 , 000 , 000 . 000 . Everybody agree« that we mutt keep this fleet on the Sea«. If we fall back to pre-war conditions— wtien only 9 par cent of our foreign trade was carried in American ships— We shall be in the position of a department store whoso goods are delivered in Its competitor’s wagons. Congress is considering legislation which will perpetuate our war-built merchant marine. Until this it done the ship* we have should not be sold to face conditions which, prior to the war, resulted in the dec I ine of our merchant marine to insignificance. This Committee calls attention to these facts because a right solution of our shipping problem is vital to the future prosperity of shipbuilding, but equally vital to the safety and prosperity of the nation.
