"Premier Back in Japan.... Says Islands Positively Cooperating." A source said Tojo asked the Filipino Executive Commission how the country stood in the East Asia War. When told that it stood favorably disposed toward Japan, he said, "No, 45% are for the Americans, only 2% is for Japan. The rest are on the fence but leaning against the masses."

A campaign is on to buy Japan a fighter aircraft. Icasiano gave P5; Aunario, P2; and Mariano Ganaden, 50-centavos. Other Manila Shinbunsha pushed the total to P97.50.
