Priest Lauds Roxas'
Faith in Democracy
A Filipino priest, recalling the
last recorded words of Manuel
Roxas, yesterday urged the living
to be faithful to the late Philippine
president's pledge to maintain and
defend the democratic way of life.
Speaking at a requiem mass for
President Roxas in St. Matthew’s
Cathedral, Father H. de la'costs,
8. J., recalled that the late presi
dent had said democracy is worth
defending only if it is lived.
"These were almost the last
thoughts of Manuel Roxas: The
immediacy of the danger which
threatens the young republic as it
threatens all free peoples and, at
the same time, the superb op
portunity it gives to prove of whafr
mettle she is made,” said Father
j de le Costa.
The Most Rev. Patrick O’Boyle,
Archbishop of Washington, offici
ated at the mass, assisted by the
Rev. Samuel Wiley, a prisoner of
the Japanese in the Philippines.
Also assisting in the mass were
four Filipino priests, Fathers Vin
cente Marasigan, Camilo Balansag,
Hernando Maceda and Jaime Meri.
Father de la Costa, who gave thY
sermon, said the late president
would not want “posthumous
deification.” Instead, said the
priest, President Roxas’ record
Should stand as he left it—“the
