CONFERENCEURGED
ON PHILIPPINE ACT
Foreign Policy Association
Cites Independence Law
Deficiencies.
the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt had a sug
gestion today that he convene an
economic conference to correct "im
perfections or inequalities” of the
1934 Philippine independence act.
The suggestion came from the
Foreign Policy Association, which de
scribed Gen. Douglas MacArthur'a
Philippine militarization program as
•vidence of "what amounts to a
covert conspiracy to keep the United
States in the Islands.”
Detailing problems faced by the
Filipinos on the road to independence,
a report by the organization suggested
the plan to create a standing army of
20,500, backed by 500,000 reservists,
was "Intended to strengthen military
power in the Western Pacific in the
event of war with Japan.”
Organizes Defense Program.
With President Roosevelt's approval,
the former chief of staff started this
year to organize a defense program
for the new Commonwealth regime,
which was designed by Congress to
bridge the gap to complete independ
ence in 1946.
David H. Popper of the association's
research staff advanced the “reason
able hypothesis” that with the im
minent expiration of the non-forti
fleation provisions of the Washington
naval treaty the American Navy may
develop a first-class base in the Philip
pines.
"If war comes.” he added, "the
Islands might then be held for a
time by Philippine-American forces.
Immobilizing sufficient Japanese
strength to facilitate naval opera
tions against Japan in the north by
way of the Aleutians.”
The conscription system devised by
MacArthur, said the report, would be
“a potent weapon in the hands of
President (Manuel L.) Quezon should
he consider it necessary to quell un
rest by dictatorial methods.”
“legal Dictatorship."
Quezon’s first year at the helm
was described as a "legal dictator
ship.”
“Unless a statesmanlike policy is
pursued prior to independence, the
United States may be forced by the
breakdown of the commonwealth gov
ernment to intervene under the terms
of the independence act,” the associa
tion said, and added:
"If independence is to be won and
maintained it will be necessary to
combat what amounts to a covert
conspiracy to keep the United States
In the islands. The pressure exerted
by Philippine and American commer
cial groups with a stake in insular
economic life coalesces with certain
•moral' factors involving racial pres
tige. American influences in the Far
East and the United States' obliga
tions to rescue the Filipino from the
clutches of other nations.”
"Completing this nexus of imperial
ist thought is the apparent attempt,
under American military authorities,
to make the islands a strategic asset
to the United States.”

316th Anniversary of Arrival
Of Mayflower Commemorated
By the Auoclittd Pm*.
PLYMOUTH. Mus , December 21.—
A tiny ship, its storm-ripped Mils
streaming in the wind, ploughed into
Plymouth Harbor just 316 years ago
today and a brave little band knelt In
thanksgiving, then stepped ashore.
That tiny ship was the Mayflower:
that little band, the Pilgrims, 102
strong, seeking the right to worship
God In their own way—a right denied
them in England.
Their descendants did them honor
today with traditional rites. The
Society of Mayflower Descendants
planned to place a wreath on Plymouth
Rock, on which historians say the Pil
grims stepped as they left the May
flower.
Iron bars and a massive concrete
canopy now guard the big boulder from
chiseling souvenir hunters.
Huge pots steamed in the kitchens
of scores of Plymouth homes as busy
housewives thawed out “Indian sau
quetache,” first cooked, then froaen
overnight in accordance with a recipe
from early Indian friends.
Into the dish goes white beans,
hulled corn, corned beef, turnips, po
tatoes, salt pork, chicken and game—
a delicacy, declare those who have
tasted it, unexcelled anywhere.
Over the "sauquetache” and whortle
berry pudding, another Indian deli
cacy. will gather members of the Old
Colony Club, oldest social organisation
in the country, to praise the deeds of
William Bradford, Miles Btandish,
John Alden and their mates.
