PCPI Plenary Session^†

Tribune: "P.C.P.I. Committee Report ... Complete Independence for P.I." The Director General says our independence will be the "real independence that the Filipino people have dreamed of through the ages." Japan will be a "protector" but the Philippines will not be a protectorate. In a speech to educators, Recto thanked the Japanese, particularly the Director General for his progressive policies, adding that "his name would go down in the history of the Philippines." Way down.

"The Influence of Buddhism ... Japan is the land of 500 religions" — another article by know-it-all Laurel. The things we preach and fail to practice here are taken as a matter of course in Japan, he says, like honesty and respect for the rights of others. Tell that to the people of Korea, Manchukuo, China, and Indochina.
