Tribune: "Filipinos take initial step toward future Republic as voters go to the polls in nationwide election for the first time under New Order." Only officers and members of provincial, municipal, cities and district committees will vote.

So Churchill is making preparations to transfer the House of Windsor and British Government to Quebec before surrendering!
