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.

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

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.
