A New Nation: The Philippi ^,es — First President of Republic Takes Office On July 4 The youngest independent nation in the world is the Phillipine Re- public, whose birth in Manila on July 4 coincided with the 1.70t11 birthday atlniv'rsary of the United States. More than three centuries of Spanish rule had done little to advance the Philippines toward self-government; only forty-eight years after Admiral George Dewey sank the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, the Philippines were free, says the New York Times. The Stars and Stripes flattered down from its mast in front of the great cream and gold reviewing stand on Dewey Boulevard in the capital city of Manila, as Manuel -A. Roxas took oftice as first Presi- dent of the republic. President Roxas takes office with an empty national treasury and an enormous budgetary deficit. But the most critical problem that he and the 18,000,000 inhabitants of the 7,000 islands of the Philippines are facing is an imminent shortage of staple foodstuffs that might even reach famine proportions. With most sugar mills destroyed during the war, sugar production for 1945-46 was less than one-tenth of domestic requirements, and for the conning year will still be only 50 per cent of needs. Rice produc tion has been crippled because work animals were eaten by the Japanese; locusts have plagued the country. The Philippine Army Itas just been presented with $50,000,000 worth of equipment by the United States. Other American aid to the Philippines has come in the form of Congressional authorization of $020,000,000 in grants for recon struction necessitated by the war. "Electric Eye" Separates Seeds Tha "electric eye:", widely known for its kindly service in opening and closing doors for railroad passengers heavily laden with baggage, has, among its many other uses, one that has been unheralded. This latter use is in picking yellow corn out of white corn. Since it is desirable to keep the two seeds separate, it was found t:.at. the "electric eye" could do Ole job much faster and more ac- curately than the human eye and hand. In describing the system at work on a western farm, the Rural Electrification Administra- tion says the equipment can sort 700 to 800 bushels of seed in twen- ty four hours, while previously it had taken forty-six persons work- ing sixteen hours to sort 200 bushels. The "electric eye" assembly has sixteen units, each of which picks up sixty seeds a second. The eye then "looks at" each seed from two sides and if either side is other than white the seed is ejected by a small plunger, which rooves so rapidly it is back in place by the time the next seed is before the "eye". • Sarawak Now A Crown Colony Sarawak, rich and romantic Borneo kingdom of the white rajahs, has become a British crown colony. King George issued a statement sc,ying; "I extend a warm wel- come" to the people of Sarawak and pledge Britaii to "promote your welfare and to bring Sarawak to, a higher stage of social and economic development than has hitherto been possible." Christopher \Viiliani Dawson, formerly of the Mayalan civil service, was appointed chief secre- tary of Sarawak pending appoint- ment of a governor. Sarawak, North Borneo state with 500,000 inhabitants and 300,- 000' acres of rubber plantations, was ceded to Britain by its last white Rajah, 71 -year-old Sir Charles Vyner Brooke, under at agreement whereby he and his three daughters and some local officials receive the proceeds of a $4,000,000 trust fund established from Sarawak funds. The rich kingdom -has lacca in the Brooke family since 1840, when the Sultan of Brunei gave it to Sir James Brooke for quelling head-hunters. an attack by Pocket Sun Dials Pocket stun dials are being pro- duced in the Soviet zone of Ger- many because of the watch short- age -but there's a cntuplicatior, ac- cording to Radio 1•Iaiuhu'g.

They were developed by a German in- ventor. ISSUE 29-'--1445 WINNER OF THE GOLD CUP it Fazio of Los Angeles holds the Seagram Gold Cup, emblematic of Canadian golfing supremacy, after a single stroke victory over Dick Metz of Chicago in an 8 -hole playoff, Both finished regulation rounds of the Canadian Open Golf Championship over Montreal Beaconsfield course with scores of 278. s By FRANK MANN HARRIS r e e e s s m e -. mese* ("A Six Bit Critic") There's an old newspaper adage which runs "The customer's always write, especially when you're wrong." And in a recent letter a reader puts a mild blast on sports- writers in general, and this one in particular, for what he considers a highly inconsistent attitude. * * "You guys give millions of dol- lars worth of advance publicity to something like the Louis -Conn thing, and create a whole lot of interest its it," he says. "Then, just as soon as it turns out to be a stinkeroo, you all try to act so very wise, trying to make out that you knew all the time it was bound to be a flop." Then he goes on to inquire why the sports pages should give so much free space to building up pro- fessional sporting events, which are strictly money -making schemes and nothing else but, when such space is denied to other business enterprises. "I'd just like to know what sort of a reception would be given to a man trying to develop, say, a plumbing business, if he went into a newspaper and asked for tine same kind of free publicity they give to the hockey business," our correspondent concludes. * * * Well, we think it can truthfully be said that we, personally, devote little or no space to advance bally- hoo of any sort. But don't ever get titc idea that this is because our code of ethics, whatever they niay be, is any more strict than those of auy of our contemporaries. It is simply because, in a weekly column of this kind, such stuff would be of little interest to our readers—or value to the promoters, for that matter. * As to the vast amount of "press agent stuff" appearing in most daily papers, it's rather hard to say just where the line should be drawn. A great deal of such material is written by highly -paid experts, artists in their line, and is a whole lot more entertaining than inose run -of -tile -mill sports copy. And you may rest assured that if the sports -page reader didn't want such stuff—didn't expect it— then it wouldn't be there. * * •1' And that last sentence gets down fairly close to the knuckle of the matter. \4hcn a Toronto journal- ist, the late H. J. P. Good, for the first time gathered together on one page all the sports news which had formerly been scattered through- out tl, . paper, 11e really started something. For that was the begin- ning of the modern sports depart- ment which—with the possible ex- ception of front-page headlines and the comic-strips—is probably the most widely and avidly -read sec- tion of any Ille1M1)01italt journal. 3' * 'l' Andr h. reader hasm now the (ado come to expect --anti the newspaper aims to supply bias with—two, three or even four pages of sports, and this not just at such times as actual happenings justify this amount of space, but each and every clay, week in and week out. And this is sometimes quite a problem. For instance, on a Monday morning a sports editor may have an all - England tennis final. a Diamond Sculls result. a National golf cham- pionship', a fifty 'grand stake race, and a dozen other really outstand- ing meats to deal with. Twenty- four hpnrs later all the news avail- able may he that Boston and Brooklyn continue to i(acl their rt::l'ccti\e h'np', and that Connie Slack of Philadelphia and Conny Smythe of Toronto both confident- ly expect to have better teams next tie;t::utl. t * * Vet, in spite of this, that same vast acreage of white space stili yawns—those two, three or four pages roust be filled. Anti if, at such a morncitt, the harassed sports editor finds on Iiia desk a nice, lrutllorous, highly -readable article about a corning championship fight, who can blame hilts for slipping it in? .Not us, you may be sure. But we do drink that all such material should be, in some manner, tagged as what it is, so that a reader will be in no doubt as to its source, and itt no danger of mistaking it for actual news. For while the have nothing but respect for a good press agent who frankly admits that he is one, for the other sort— the kind who try to put across slobbery publicity in the guise of signed personal opinion—well, it's too blessed slot right now to discuss them. * * * So, for no particular reason, here's tite very old tale of Finkel- stein, who started playing the stock market and who, as sometimes happens, did very well at it for a while. And then, as also sometimes happens,. the market took a sudden turn for, the worse; and one morn- ing Finkelstein was called on the phone by his excited broker, with a demand for further margins. * * (' But Finkelstein remained quite calm. "Listen, Mister," he said; "would you mind taking a look by tite books and seeing how stood it my account one week ago today?" So the broker, after taking a look, reported that—a week previously —Mr. F. had had a credit balance of some six thousand dollars. "Yell," said Finkelstein, "did I call you up then?" And hung up! The Race etween Wages and Prices The tragic delusion that the number of dollars a man earns really matters is debauching a continent, says the Financial Post. How many dollars he cars is qt only relative importance. What is important is ]low 1110011 Fpntfort and security ile can get with his earnings; how much his dollars will buy. Each succeeding major strike brings more dollars. Strikers and threateners of strikes presumably feel they are making progress; that their economic status is im- proving. In dog -racing, the whippet Clever catches the electric hare. It is the same in the race between wages and prices. The inflation spiral is now whirling upward. Produc- tion—a vast torrent of goods and services that people want and need --is the only fire extinguisher to stop the holocaust, but produc- tion is choked off with strike dis- locations and industrial strife. New Tomato .\ superman of the tomato patch has been announced by \\'isconsin agricultural experts, a tomato said to be larger, tastier, hardier titan the hest of current varieties, says This Week. 'The fruits grow to uniform slat, then ripen 0l'ellly and the plants are immune to blos- som -mid rot and have resistance to other common vine diseases. The yield averages ,30 percent more than •the present "hest" iotnatces per aero.
