year 1915 was the most prosperous
the Philippine government ha ex
perienced since the slump that fol-
tho j lowed the ending of the World

Beginning this year, the Insular
government will adhere to a policy
of diverting its surplus funds at
the end of each fiscal year to
Manila port works and to the ir

authorized by law has been used

Is the turn of freedom of song to
meet a similar fato at the hands of

Fascists who desire to exult mu

and youths' organizations, have been
spread throughout , the kingdom.
